Well I am new to this site and I'm just passing by to say hi... This site rocks and so does my car....

Take care everybody :D ....Elle :)

hey Elle just a quick hello from the gold coast, have you done much work to your ride? and if so how quick? mine is still standard except 4 some bolt ons, but still damn fast 4 a street car. :headspin:

  • 2 weeks later...

Tonight at WSID I beat my PB (14.46sec) and was relatively happy with the outcome. I did 4 pretty consistent runs but all feeling totally different behind the wheel. I had 2 goals at the beginning of the nite and didn't care which I got first. My 2 goals were 13.9sec ET or better and 100mph or better.

1) Didn't do much/any of a burnout just dropped it from 4,000rpm and let it spin for a metre to remove the water from the rear tyres. Used standard boost (7psi) and launched from 3000rpm. The entire 14.184sec felt like a Sunday drive, everything was perfectly smooth no wheelspin just perfect.

60ft: 2.168 (~3,000rpm)

MPH: 99.94

ET: 14.184sec

2) This time I switched it to 12psi to try and get abit more top end but resulted in axle tramp in the top of 1st gear and problems engaging 2nd gear.

60ft: 2.117 (~3,500rpm)

MPH: 98.66

ET: 14.383

3) Thought i'd use 7psi for first gear and then flick it to 12psi soon as I hit 2nd gear. Got my highest Mph but lost out from 1000ft -> 1320ft somehow even though I had a higher TS.

60ft: 2.098 (~4,000rpm)

MPH: 100.52

ET: 14.245

4) Bahh what a waste, too busy concentrating on the v8 beside me pulling away and I had a combination of axle tramp and missing 3rd gear.

60ft: 2.111 (~3,000rpm)

MPH: 94.70

ET: 14.702

Mods:

FMIC

K&N Panel Filter

3" Full exhaust

Bosch Fuel Pump

Daiken Clutch

7/12psi

I'm very happy with my 60ft times (Using 10,000km old 225/50/16 @ 38psi Michelin Preceda's). They were very consistent with no wheelspin at all. I need to tweak the rear suspension so i'll take a look at that this weekend and probably drop to ~20psi for next time just to try and get those 60ft times lower again.

Ben,

You can add my latest numbers to the list if you'd like. Cheers bud :D

ET - 12.870

MPH - 117.75

60ft - 2.476

ET - 12.847

MPH - 115.65

60 - 2.353

TYRES - RE540S

TRACTION - NONE!

NITTOS - NEED SOME :D

Nope.

Let the sh1tty crappy 99% dead tyres down to 11psi and fried 'em till they melted onto the tar... SLipped the clutch till it bit and it bit hard so i mashed the throttle and got all the way off the clutch... pics to come :)

Adrian

Hi every1

Im new here and hope to catch up with you all soon.

I've met Ben and Adrian at the last Street meet had a ball and ran a not bad time for my first time out.. (congrats on the 12.5 Adrian)

not fair, does it have to be on pulp, ill run it this week on optimax

LIES.

hey adrian got my new clutch, and it grips like a mother ***cer, ill be there on wednesday after i get some more fuel,wasted it all drivingto the wrkshop, hope to get another run next to you, and some more pics. i also think i should drop the pressure in my tires to about 11psi, 25 is way to much what i used last time.

Motion not to add nicknick's time until someone from SAU watches his fill up at the Shell at Eastern Creek before the drags :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
