Thanks mate :) Yeah a bit of side by side fun would be good :cheers: First things first though I want to concentrate on getting some decent numbers.

Shaun will be doing a bit more tune work tomorrow (the CR allows more timing to be added) so a few more rwkw would be nice. If we can sort the boost drop issue (small but worth rectifing) before the nats that'd be nice too.

I guess I could go crazy with boost but to be honest I'd rather keep it closer to what I'll run on the street. I'm not out to set any records (don't have the power for that) Should be good fun :)

Hip,

Yeah a decent shock upgrade is in the pipeline (shocks are the only sus mod left to do).

Busky2k,

I'll be at the Nat's, but who cares about my car I want to see Munro & Keir running 8's

Matt,

Yeah mate nothing but good ol' as it comes out of the pump BP98. Hopefully later today we'll get to see how much more it can make 'safely' with more timing & a bit of octane boost.

We did another tune today. Added an extra 1' timing. Got a nice even 280rwkw on 1.3bar. The wastegate is creeping up top so it drops to ~1.1bar. After we sort out the actuator it should hold boost & make a few more kw up top. Dyno sheet to follow soon.

Only downside so far is that even when hot the RE540S's no longer maintain any traction ;) This on 1.1bar road tune. Haven't tried 1.3bar yet.

The LT12 handset is able to hold 4 maps, so they are set as follows:

1. 'Valet' - 3000rpm limit / 3500rpm cut

2. 1.1bar road tune

3. 1.3bar road tune

4. may become ELF LMS drag tune

All depends on the right foot mate. I got 260k's from 1/2 a tank during the mild post 1000k run-in tune. I'd be pretty happy with ~400k from a tank with mixed driving (cruise/WOT etc...) Heavy driving & I'd guess 200-250k? Can't have everything ;)

Once I've done a few k's I'll post a report on economy.

Very good question mate. Yeah I have had a stab at the average power (sydneykid style)

I know the power curve stops before 180km/h but I'm guessing that the power would drop at a similar rate hence I can estimate power at 180km/h mark (it should improve in this area once we get the boost to hold).

So based on the above my average power reads as follows:

3,600 - 213wkw

4,600 - 272rwkw

5,600 - 280rwkw

6,600 - 245rwkw (boost drop takes effect here - "should" improve with new actuator)

Average power ='s 252rwkw

EDIT: Given that my cams are still stock (so far :P ) I'm very happy the bulk of the power is btw 3,500 to 6,500. We all know rev's are far less kind on a motor than boost (providing the tuning is good).

A nice set of Tomei VCT friendly Poncams should just about do it.

    • 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 😢 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • 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.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • 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)
