I have to ask the silly questions :P

so as I understand it, it's $320 per kart, so if I have say 4 drivers it would be $80 each?

2nd question is for those that have done the race before, how many 'forced' pit stops are there i.e. for fuel, etc. and how many times did you have to stop in the race? I'm just trying to work out how/when driver changes should be done.

Correct for the kart question, but 4 drivers would put you at a dis-advantage as it's an extra 2 pit-stops to change drivers. Not having done this before I can't answer the other question, but the driver change should be in the middle of the race so both drivers have an equal amount of time out there, paying the same amount of money after all :P

If you veer off into the dirt you will get a flag waved at as just as you PASS the pit lane (for some reason) meaning you have to pit for a chain re-oiling, keeps dem inner working sprightly.

2 drivers is best, you will realise that time flies when your on the track and 22 minutes per driver, with 4 drivers is 8 minutes less track time than we had at the first outing.

2 drivers sounds good, but I don't think they would be in it to win it so to speak, so my options are to find someone that wants to do it competitively or go there with a few mates and perhaps have a bit of fun rather than all out attack, in which case having many pit stops won't be of any real concern.

There's not too many people who can handle 45min in a Kart that is vibrating to buggery, so you'll find even with two drivers you'll pit a couple times each.

True that!

I spent 28 minutes in the kart at the first event and does tend to make the body hurt.

However, having Mike as the *cough* team boss, i was in no position to argue with him.

(Have you seen the size of him??????????)

      Airbox for +T

      By BuiltNotBought · Posted

      I get you, we’ll see I’m aiming for 200ish kw now and hopefully 300rwkw down the line after some upgrades maybe like headstuds, E85 flex fuel etc  so trying to make it final for that now, I can get a GTT airbox for $280 so it’s not too bad but not sure if there’s better ways to spend that money. I seen online they say pod filter which isn’t enclosed isn’t good especially for a plus T.      hard to say what to do

      Airbox for +T

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Meh. How much power can you make from a +T anyway? I wouldn't have though it would be enough to challenge the airbox. It's not as if it's tiny compared with the turbo one. As to putting a pod in a stock airbox .... it's not the filter element that would be restrictive. It would be the air inlet to the box that would be the narrow point, which you could open up regardless of what element was inside. On my R32 I opened up the sort of triangular opening in the bottom front corner of the box, deformed (heated, moulded) some 4" stormwater pipe to fit to that opening and punched a 4" hole down through the inner guard to the spot where the stock intercooler used to be. This was purely in the search for a cold intake, but you could do something similar if you need to open up the inlet side of it. The AFM tube size is the same for both NA and turbo, so the outlet from the airbox is same same anyway. If you're going to do the right thing, then an aftermarket ECU won't care about the AFM (ie, you can get rid of it). But even if it was still there, people pull >300rwkW through them all day, and I suspect you won't be going there.

      By BuiltNotBought · Posted

      Doing a +T on my car and I’ve read the precious forums lots of mixed reviews from sometime back.  checking if anyone has any ideas for airbox or enclosed pod filter or solutions?  I was thinking stock GTT box but some say it’s restrictive? I seen some people try fit in a pod in the box anyone done that recently?  not any good enclosed options ? Thanks
