The car got moved on the weekend to start the Targa prep.

I took it for a test run today to get reliability testing km into it. revalving of the rear shocks feels good, it should give much more confidence at speed on rough roads.

Hopefully we should get some testing time at Symmons this weekend

Well it's been a busy past couple of weeks.

I decided to bypass the heater core to eliminate the possibility of slip heater hoses, I followed some advice on setting up how the coolent lines run from a local bloke who races a RB25. We have since found out that the coolent flows differently between a 25 and a 20, cause I over heated the engine and poped a head gasket. Luckily the head was still within the factory tolerances, so I only needed to replace the head gasket.

We got a good test day in on Saterday with 70 or so laps of Baskerville, the car is consistently lapping about 0.7 secs quicker a lap then last year.

well it appears on a 25 you don't need to loop the rear outlet, into the front inlet, so I just blocked the rear outlet. I have now looped the rear outlet into the front inlet.

The car with the 25 I copied the idea from is a very successful circuit car, and has done heaps of race km with the rear outlet blocked

I've been pretty lazy since Targa. I had the car out to a club day at Symmons Plains a couple of weeks after Targa, and dropped my pb down to 59.8. Since then the car has been sitting. But it will be back out for a hillclimb at the end of October.

Some pics from Targa this year:

I think the big inlet ports would make i laggier down low, and I wouldn't be able to run VCT in targa. I did have a good look at it, but I don't think it would be worth it.

I had the car out again last weekend, and I took over 1 second of my PB at Symmons Plains

    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
