Do you think it's worth talking to Phil regarding an engine? He might know of something.

Nah thanks anyway Michele,,,I've already paid for 2 engines. A fourth would kill my budget. I'm going to use the one in the car now as the highly modded one.

Sorry Richard no turbo for the radical.

Neil.

Wow - my first look at Eastern Creek and it was awesome. I'm still learning, but happy to have improved throughout the day. Ended up doing a belt in the end, but thats little considering I've just had three solid days of motor racing... I'm exhausted though, but can't wait to have another crack at EC to see if I can improve :P

Well done Michele. There always room for improvement at Eastern Creek, it's such a long circuit with quite a few different lines to take. Very challenging and high speeds!

I've found sometimes at the creek the lap feels quick, but then the clock says otherwise!

It's a great track, it was a shame there were so many delays yesterday. Makes it a long slow day and a lot of effort for 15 laps.

I managed to shave another 0.5 secs of my previous PB. My goal is to get under 1:50 so I have another 2 secs to find. (miracle required, but will get there somehow!)

S13deviat and myself had the invited clubs supersprint yesterday @ OP South - no times on natsoft yet :P

But after second session I was leading class 2B yay!

fingers crossed I still have it when they finally get the results up!

Well Done at OP on saturday Michelle was nice to see a fellow SAUer out there.. You looked like you had a ball racing the other two cars.

I'm pleased to see Radical's dominated in my absence.

I had this very disappointed feeling all day Sunday. We were planning to go out and watch,,,but I couldn't bring myself to standing there watching everybody else having fun.

Neil.

ooooh Oran Park was S E N S A T I O N A L

Full on racing... what a BUZZZZZZZZ and did you see how good my grid starts were? Thats hillclimbing for you, I'm a star in first and second gear... then I'm buggered LOL

I'm with you Neil, I'm the same, its hard to go watch everyone else have fun while your car isn't running. Mine will be in pieces for next two weeks and I will have to pull out of the Supersprints at Wakie this weekend.

Actually, they are short of numbers, is anyone interested? VW Club is putting it on. PM me if you need contacts.

Yeah we were all commenting in Race Control on your starts!!! :laugh: I think it was your second race you started so well that you startled Sam in his car and he moved over and nearly hit the wall :closedeyes:

You look great out there!

  • 1 month later...
  • 2 months later...

Last Round on this weekend at Oran Park on Saturday for a day/night meeting...

Who else is running, i will have my little Mazda Sports Sedan out there.

Wonder if Duncan will be able to win the Championship in the R35 GTR top 3 places very close..

    • HyperGear. Just get a high flow of the stocker. Good, reliable, and should bolt on. Yes it will want things like a retune once done, so you need to factor this in to your spend too.
    • Hi. Iam looking for some "cheaper" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO. I do not want "big" power just better reliability than the stock turbo which is "fot now" good but is old and i do not think it has "easy" life. One the Skyline here running some "temu" china Turbo but i dont trust those... Thanks!

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
