brb- off to Styx Valley Rally.

ok so I know it's not Tarmac, but it should be a bit of fun.

I'm joining Timmy in Tassie this weekend for the first round of the Tasmanian Rally Series.

Jumping into a little Mitubishi Cyborg with Aaron Reader - should be lotsa of fun.

Now can you Tasmanians organise some decent weather for me please?

Well from what I see it is looking like a few showers, but the amount of rain is looking low. Anything has to be better than what we had last year!

Stu,

knowing all of those roads quite well you've picked the cream of the roads in the area. I had no doubt the Whitfield Rd especially the section under the power lines would be used, but will it be in both directions?

Just a question on the Eildon-Jamieson Rd as well, did you have to put much pressure on the Shire to seal that rd? Once sealed it will be beome quite a popular rd for people wanting an alternative route to-from Buller. Also what surface are they planning? Spray seal?

Looking forward to this ;)

Yeah Dan, both ways! Mansfield Whitfield Road will be split into three stages each way.

Re Eildon Jamieson Road, the shires had plans to seal and this has simply been bought forward. It will be in final prep as roadbase ready for sealing at THC so we will simply transport over it, but will be in good condition as sealing is due to take place in the week(s) after the event... hopefully with a year to cure it will make it one of the best targa stages to be found. The surface will be better than simple spray and rock speard which has pretty short life, expect to see something much the seal at the Jamieson end which is next up from spray.

Cage sounds like a good idea Jeff... you just can't trust those Queenslanders!... but if you can lend me the key that would be great, I'll be over Thursday to do the roadbook! Just leave the key under a pot plant if you like! :banana:

I think you might be a bit more trustworthy than Ben

      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.
