depending on cost, that might sway me once more.

Now that I think about it, the cycly idle wankiness the v44 is going to give me, I'm not going near any formals this year. Not keen to get defected hard :/

you do however have to have antilag turned on to use cyclic idle, keep in mind though that your brakes are vac assisted and with cyclic idle setup you have very little vaccume and that does effect braking performance quite a bit.

Mmmmmm rotational idle goodness.

I wonder what the fine/raping is for having a car louder than Jesus on rotational idle while nitrous purging at a school formal......

*I'll let you guys know :/*

what IS that? and what is the point of it?

/noob

that is cyclic idle, it is part of the antilag system and is designed to help cool the engine/turbo/exhaust down by not firing all the cyls as antilag dumps a lot of heat into the exhaust/turbo. dispite sounding as lumpy as it does the car is doing ~1500-2000rpm

when you load up the revs it stops the cyclic idle as its name suggests it only effects the idle, when you get into the antilag areas it adds more fuel, reduces the ignition timing massively and doesnt fire on all cyls so you essentialy are firing the cyl into the exhaust manifold on some and putting raw fuel into the exhaust manifold on the others giving you lots of very hot gas to spin up the turbo (and the cyclic idle is there to help cool this down and keep the revs sane with the throttle open ~20% when "fully closed").

its not great for your turbo or cat (which will not last long before its insides are smashed to pieces/melted) as you pop and bang when the engine revs drop between gear changes/exiting corners keeping the turbo spinning nice and quick. this keeps the turbo ready to come on boost as soon as you get on the loud pedal so you get less of the wait as a turbo spools back up, it can also be used off the line to launch at full boost but you need a lot of grip to keep from just doing a burnout instead.

you need to keep in mind that this all requires someone to set it up in the ECU/TB, it is more than just a case of turning it on and it working out of the box.

The antilag launching in a RWD on street tyres is quite pointless I found. I had it setup on the Microtech a while back, was very fun but it would just paint lines down the road. Definetely need some damn good grip on the rear to benefit from it.

Any input on the comment saying E85 has lubrication issues?

I can see 2 possible factors at play on this.

1. Oil dilution - can be solved by more frequent oil changes (maybe every 2500km).

2. Less lubrication on the upper cylinder walls (not sure on this - just a thought bubble). Would the higher fuel content in the chamber and properties of ethanol cause higher friction/wear - possibly by removing lubricant reside from the walls during filling/compression strokes?

I have had no issue using 300v or now Sougi 6000, the oil is stable and clean. Not so for the Castrol edge, it went all milky within a few days, not sure why.

As long as your thermostat brings the oil up to a suitable temp quickly, (ethanol evaporates at 70 degrees.) you wont have any issues. I have a catch can setup which fills within 2 months with an ethanol and water mix, I simply turn a ball valve to drain it.

Any friction issues will only be at cold start as that is the only time the fuel is liquid in the chamber.

yup...

I use turbolight 4100 10w40 as motul have recommended not to use 300v with e85 and it is perfect

5000k and it never goes milky... beyond that i wouldn't know :)

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
