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...

I know exactly what Duncan is on about Lol!

Oh and High Country is looking to be the Bomb, shame I didn't know The Woo was going to do it until now.

and heard a little bit more from a reliable source about Rally Tasmania going to gravel (ARC, VRC & TRS). So for any Tarmac fan who enjoyed that event you can kiss it goodbye.

Back in Hobart to feed into the computer what I firmed up with the THC course last week and I've gotta say that since late last year I'd almost forgotten just how good the roads are up there!

The course has a bit of everything for everyone with a good balance of tight and twisty and quick and flowing all with predictable surfaces... and some stunning views for those willing to lift their eyes from the road! There is one road we will be playing on that I told council should be converted into one way traffic with a toll booth as its the nearest thing Australia has to the Nürburgring and a very cool experience that will dominate conversation on Sunday.

Looking forward to getting back up there again later this week.

I spoke about the event with Stu last week, and after seeing his excitement for it and his description that many of the stages are like Tassie's west coast, then I figured I simply couldn't miss it. )

It's a shame that Gavin has Timmy, would dearly like him beside me, but Gavin asked him straight after Targa, before I decided to run, and thems the breaks :ermm:

Don't be sad Timmy :P

So Stu when do we find out the full details for High Country? I need to get motivated into getting a car and the less time I have for motivation the less chance there is I will have the time to get one ready.

Although my motivation/confidence took another hit on the weekend when my good buddy in W.A. Blaise wiped his car out in his first crack at Tarmac Rallying at the new Targa South West on Saturday. Sad to see and now we both find ourselves with a cabin already booked for THC but neither of us have a car!

swap the box, and run the 34 with the dent.

you know I got offered an awesome deal on a new donar R34 on Friday and after looking at the scary list of things I should bring across from the old car I was half tempted to just chuck a cage in and run it otherwise stock for shits and giggles. Its currently got an IMPUL ECU (I think to just remove the limiter??) and an exhaust and other than that its dead stock. Would be amuzing to see how fast it was.

Only problem is it looks so pretty - and its not blue.

Some grandpa in a white Porsche has had a look at the rough course... just like some bloke that reckons he can weld and drive from Burnie :happy:

Main bits to check out are up and and a little down the Mount Buller Tourist Road from Sawmill Settlement.

Mansfield Whitfield Road

Jamieson Eildon Road (the awesome one... its still gravel in the middle so don't take anything too new with 30 profile tyres)

and importantly Skyline Road (I know!) near Eildon

Basic recce notes will be available in two weeks with GPS references for TS, SOS, TF and SP.

I'll have that awesome deal R34 then Snowy... Wooster's bodykit is too ghey for even me!!

Anyone want a Bond bolt in cage for WRX? Got one in my office for cheap (painted with feet).

      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.
