Where Did All The Great Race Car Build Threads Go?

Unfortunately in creating the new Projects and Build section, some of the best content of the motorsport forum was moved out. This thread is an index and discussion for those links.

Please let me know any other cars I have missed (I'm sure there are some) but in keeping with the "motorsport" theme I was only really looking for the dedicated track cars - road registered cars even if they do some track work rightly belong in the builds section.

Thanks Duncan. I have PM'd Col GTx who did the moving (I think his name is?) about this a couple of days ago and haven't heard anything back.

I think the builds forum was created for him so he could have something to moderate?

Like I said to him, I think most of us in the Motorsport section only really visit the MS section, so all these great builds are effectively lost.

yeah, not col's call. the moderation team as a group decided to create the new section, col just had the permissions to move them. not a fan of the change personally because i think the motorsport section was really showing how great these cars are, and how many cheap, effective and easy ways there are to race them.

so I started this thread :)

and how many cheap,

Cheap :) ....mine is the biggest budget nugget ever and its already cost me thousands lol.

Maybe we could start threads in here about out own "racing" seperate from the builds, stating how we went in the rounds etc, kinda like a blog or somthing, so the motorsport section junkies :D can read up on how the cars are going whilst racing not being built.

      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)
