My karting injuries and pains:

I have bruises and possible fractured bones at the bottom of my shoulder blades.

My fingers and forearms are sore and bruised

The tops of both my arse cheeks are aching

The inside of my right knee is bruised

My little toe on my right foot is bruised

Very sore right now. Had a hard time sleeping. :blink:

I got a bruise on my back like what Matty got as well from those seats

Also got bruises on both my hips from getting thrown around in the seat around the corners

The inside of my left knee is a bit sore from hitting near the steering column

I think that was from when I was right behind someone coming up to the S bend, they locked up so I was on the brake too & ended up in a spin in the middle of the track. Someone else comes around the corner & is about to straight-line me but luckily they locked it up & hit me more sideways than anything else.

I lifted my knees up just in case but when I got slammed I think my leg took a whack. Decent impact anyway though lol, sent me from the track over the kerb into the dirt :) That was fun dragging the kart back onto the track in the least widest part of the course!

I'd like to thank my driving partner Dan in regards to our result, as it took both of us working to the best of our ability to fail so hard.

Most of you guys that have bruises is due to the seat being too loose.

Next time make sure you choose a tighter fitting seat to stop you from moving around so much .

My co driver skinny f*k and he picked kart :)

or they could take your option and start packing on a few extra kg's over winter :)

      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.
