What? Im sure those who dont easily qualify would have been considered. Obviously you want to participate.

This f**ken sucks.

Yeah i do want to participate but DECA for me is about FUN, for some its serious competition and if there are only 20 cars or so there, its boring.

No we can't do a normal one sorry - there just isnt the time to get it set-up and it is too close to November.

And definitely NO we aren't doing the full track in November. November will just be a normal one with normal events and normal rules. And all people call Norm are most welcome to come along.

Guys fair go here.

We already were well down on numbers and then I had a bunch of people pull out at the end of last week which left us with just 9 entrants. Given the nature of this event there were a few extra costs so really we needed all 20 entrants just to cover them, but we would have run with as low as 16. But 9 was far too few and we needed to make a decision on the spot in order to still facilitate a venue refund.

I'm sorry but for what ever reasons there just wasnt the support for this event which is a shame as it was a unique opportunity to do some different things and for the people who have been coming to DECA for a few years now to possibly experience the next level in motorsport challenges. I'd been looking forwards to this since we first facilitated the idea late last year so I'm as gutted as anyone that it hasn't happened and the sad part is it will make the club think twice about trying some of the other motorsport idea's that the committee has been looking at.

How were we to know the event was at risk of being cancelled? Up until last night the list said there were something like 16 entrants.

Maybe informing the members of the situation may have mustered up the extra few needed?

Email was sent out to all members addresses in the SAU-Vic database on 28/8/08 5:36pm. Went something like this:

Dear Member,

We would like to make you aware that entries are now open for our MiColour DECA “Masters” event held on Saturday 20th September 2008 in Shepparton.

Please take the time to refer to the event schedule here: http://sau.ferni.net/DECA/0805_May08/DECA%...%20Schedule.pdf

As you will see this event adds a whole new level to our DECA events. The skidpan sub-events require a fine touch and put new meaning to the word motorkhana. The back track events (Mini-Wang and Long-Wang) are much longer and faster than before and they WILL blow your socks off. As you can see we will be doing two full laps of the Long-Wang, and the Mini-Wang in reverse is quite possibly the most fun event we have ever done.

The entries will be limited to 20, which will give each entrant far more track time than ever before, but to compensate the price had to be raised to $200. However entries so far for this event have been low and we will need to consider cancelling the event if we don’t see a few more by next mid next week.

If you’re concerned about if you qualify for this event, don’t be. Feel free to contact myself Chris (Scotsman) or Andrew (Snowman) via PM on the forums if you wish to discuss. Most entries will be accepted.

Yeah I think a few people have got the wrong idea about DECA Masters. It would have been more fun than a "normal" DECA, because the events are longer to suit the lower numbers and give you more driving which = more fun.

Perhaps we should have called it DECA FUN instead of DECA MASTERS.

I know I was going there with the intent to hang it out and enjoy this DECA rather than compete with anyone.

      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.

      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.

      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.
