Hopefully that should spread the crowd out a bit more, and we can get a few more runs in then.

Another thing that would be good to see is a Saturday night meeting similar to the ones held in the US, to give the guy's at the illegal runs somewhere to go. i think the ones over there are just 1/8th mile, which may be easier to control, and I think that it could actually be a profitable venture for them as well considering the numbers racing on the street now.

Jeff,

Brett and I ran the first run @ 6:46pm, 2nd @ 8:08pm, 3rd @ 9:11pm and 4th @ 9:55pm.

4 runs in one night with just over 3 hours racing total and down to one lane for half an hour. Very impressive!

Yeah, was great. I got 4 runs in too and unlike you guys I wasn't the first in stage :)

I imagine that without the 1 and a half hour + rain delay we may well have got 5 runs.

Am I right in saying that there was only the one blow up? (the 180)

For those that care I ran:

best ET 13.4, 6ft 1.82, mph 100 (pulsar GTI-R, first ever drag attempt).

You will love the new track Jeff, it's awesome comming out through the tunnel into the ampitheatre!

From a spectators p.o.v the cars were moving through much quicker than the old track.

I do believe that being the first night opened and also with the threat of rain that many people would have stayed away.

Yeah, the staging and stuff all seemed to be working pretty smoothly.

Also, you're right some people (pussies mainly) may have stayed away due to the convenient excuse provided by the rain! j/k :wassup:

11.18 @ 128mph thats on full slicks though.

So Brett is doing 128 on Nitto's? Would love to see if the other driver/car could replicate that feat on Radials. I'm guessing Brett's car is running more like 482hp, not 500. lol ;-)

well, i would be happy with 482 rwhp. Im not too far off lol only like 100+rwhp (im being sarcastic here). We'll see how much soon at our dyno day happening up here in QLD. If i get over 125mph i would be happy. With some more boost i should do it. In its current tune i think 124mph is max. We'll see once i head out again some time in the future if i dont sell it. After all this shit i went through i aint to happy.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      Could it really happen......

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
