I am curious to hear more about the XR6 Turbo. I assume it wil be lighter then a V8 Supercar, handle as good as a V8 Supercar, have more power then a V8 Supercar. I assume they will be going from the 17" tyres the V8s have to run and will go 18s, then question will be will they be able to get wide enough and sticky enough rubber under it.

Just quietly, if it has a good steerer i think the barge could be a bit of a surprise packet .

been in a v8 supercar round eastern creek with full race slicks.... great, but not that great.. a well sorted evo could do it up..

if the xr6 had more power and less weight... thats great, but if it has less traciton then thsat not so great.

eithber way noonbe really cares who wins the fastest time... im only going to see and hear the cars scream around the track. and the xr6 is not someoint i want to see or hear scream arou bnd the track.

And without all the data logging, big fuel tank., copoous amounts of oil coolers, steel doors and panels etc. I am thinking with smaller fuel cell, carbon doors and lexan windows, carbon bonnet and removal of all the data logging anf diff/gearbox coolers, they would be able to pull another 50kgs from the thing. If punted properly it will be funny to see a taxi in the mix :devil: (funny = AWESOME!)

Dont they lap EC at around 1:30. So with big enough semis and less weight, over a single lap the XR6 (turbo Supercar) should be in the hunt

The lap record for a V8 Supercar round Eastern Creek is 1:31.7301 ...

Will be interesting to see how quick it'll be on the tyres used for Superlap.

The EC website is out of date. Before i posted up I had a quick look at Natsoft and it shows that they have gone quicker then last 11 years, though not sure it its tenths or a second, but in 2005 or whatever Kelly was quicker. Either way, i suppose the time isnt as important as to just hwo crappy are the control Supercar slicks?

Yeah in qualifying (closest parallel to superlap) they run in the 29s. And this car has every right to be faster with the extra mods allowed. Most importantly of all they should have access to years of data about the track, compared to most other competitors who have only had a few practice days there, or none at all.

Would be great to see local engineering stick it up the whole world :)

My guess is that soft semis in the same width will not be any slower than dunlops control slick. Dunlop have no reason to make anything but a super safe, durable tyre when it is a control tyre.

Jose Fernandez is driving the Ford XR6T/V8 Supercar :cool:

The car is weighing just over 1300kgs atm

This car has done a 31 in Supercar trim and Jose last did a 33 around the creek in a Supercar.

Make no mistake, this thing will be quick.

It will be running on fat Dunlop's and is running full V8 Supercar suspension, rear end etc

This car has full FPR data and set up with it as well.

The engine should be finished this week.

Alot of people forget that these things are purpose built race cars from day one, with tubbed front and rear ends, lightweight panels etc

I think this thing could be a dark horse for sure :ermm:

Good news! Hi Octane R34 went quicker yesterday at the Creek even though we had a couple of hold ups during the day, which meant we didn't get one really clean lap.

But, the good news is, Mark's best lap, slightly help up by a GT3 under the power lines, AND breaking a front right driveshaft coming onto the straight, which sent him hard towards the wall off the track mowing heaps of greass, and a couple of big tank slappers thrown in for good measure, AND basically rolling down the straight, was a 38. :P

I have been keeping an eye on the progress of entrants for this, gutted none of my mates in NZ are keen for the trip over - not keen on a loner trip, otherwise there is a good chance I'd be in Oz with bells on. Looks like a once in a life time combination of cars at one event. Look forward to hearing about the results, hope some good footage comes from it!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
