Just to add, I've read that you should actually turn OFF VDC to get faster timings.

Makes sense though, with VDC on, the ecu will reduce power to rear wheels to prevent traction loss. Fastest ( fastest, not most consistent ) timing should be achieved will a good coordination of brake torque, good launch with appropriate revs and accurate shifting, with VDC off I believe.

Unfortunately I can't say this from experience.

TT350GT,

Welcome, sounds like a very nice ride. Total Q car with a hidden power lol.

Mhmm lunch, i gotta cook dinner soon but no idea... feel like chicken curry..

Siglapian,

Yep for any n/a 350gt, definitely vdc off. With a boosted auto 350GT, i really think vdc on will give close to best possible but with consistency.

When i took mine to the drags I found I did faster times with VDC off as I would get a little bit of wheel spin and then the engine would cut power if the VDC was on. With VDC off it would just keep on going despite the wheel spin "stupid open diff" I also found that using the triptronic gave quicker times as well.

also with the WRX the quickest launch times i have achieved were with the traction control switched off and were with a touch of wheel spin. the VDC/ESP doesnt step in to prevent the tyres from spinning when its switched off. makes sense to switch it off.

      R32 Nostalgia

      From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.

      Oil pan for RB25DET NEO Stagea "version"

      By Duncan · Posted

      meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
