The first event at the new track is supposed to be on 06 July, it is looking pretty awe inspiring. From memory the bitumen is 6.5M wide.

I have had a walk around it during construction and I can tell you it is going to be a lot more scary to drive than the old track, as well as around three times as long. There are a number of blind, cresting, off camber corners and spots where the track is going to just disappear from in front of you. Think of going over Skyline at Bathurst.

Just to add to my last post. I found some video footage this morning of the last working bee day at the new hillclimb. People that showed up to help were allowed to drive around it gently to have a look, it will be a challenge to go fast on. I think mid range grunt and quick spooling on turbo cars along with good traction and a complete lack of understeer will be the keys to a fast run. And there are a few corners that should be able to be strung together for those that are into drift (Assuming they are going to run drift events there)

Funnily enough I missed the link you posted when I was reading through the thread Bec. Hopefully it stays up this time. I am really looking forward to having a run there but I reckon that it will be quite a few runs before I would be looking for the limit. A couple of spots look pretty unforgiving of mistakes (The Eau Rouge moment at the very bottom of the track for one)

I think anything with any sort of straight line performance is going to require a lot of respect until at least the half way point of the run where you start heading up again.

      Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
