Wooo! Thanks Duncan. Still can't believe we did it. Managed 6th outright too which I'm amazed with. I'll post up some videos tomorrow. Time to party now...

Forget Red Bull - turns out it's the Cygnet stage that gives you wings

I'm on the boat tonght. :)

I'm all packed and ready. The car however isn't. LOL It was still in pieces when I left it late last night but it should all be sweet come 6pm tonight.

I still need to find some helping hands down in Tas (especially for day 5) but hopefully we can find someone friendly enough to help some blokes out.

I'm quite happy to carry fuel, and have tools for you to use.

I thought you were running Ben? You guys are on the list!

But we have tools and I have a handy guy with them sitting next to me for the week but my calcs show we won't live off just getting fuel at the lunch break each day.

I my pretty sure Day 3 after Mt Rowland, Day 4 after Cethana and Day 5 both before and after Mt Arrowsmith I'm going to need a top-up. Dan should hopefully be able to help us out days 3 and 4 but he can't be in 2 places at once on Day 5! lol

Yeah I have, they hurt when thrown by a man. So I reckon I'm safe. :laugh:

There are a few things in this world that you dont mess with...a mates Mrs .... fark off dogs with foam dripping from their mouths... vag with foam dripping from it..... AND Snowies right arm. Its a precision instrument, he clocked me in the head from about 30mtrs with a lemon, AFTER a night on the bottle. I am sure if he was sober it would have taken my head clean off :)

I heard they'll be placing a fuel rig between Queenstown and Arrowsmith mate. Maybe contact race control to get the facts?

Interesting. The BP in Queenstown is no longer there so that option was gone, and I've signed up for fuel with the Vandenbergs but thay have only listed having fuel in Tarraleigh on day 5 currently. I will see what I can find out about this rumour of yours. Be great if it was true!

My name hasn't been changed on the site yet, but i'll be crewing for dad. So i'm sure you will need fuel at the same places as dad, and you will be at a similar place in the pack.

Vandenbergs always say they're only having fuel at Tarraleigh, and always end up having a splash and dash spot at the intersection after the Strahan stage before you enter Queenstown.

I heard they'll have rotating full tankers on Arrowsmith Stage for rolling refuels of the guys running E85. :ermm:

I'm setting up refuel 5klm before the end of Arrowsmith. $20- a litre. For E10.

my $10/l E85 is looking pretty cheap about now.

E85 guys will need a fill on the arrowsmith start and finish line.

      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.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      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.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
