Its a bit more than a coincendence that this overheating issue happened after the new turbos where fitted. Mekes me wonder if one of the feed lines is either blocked or twisted reducing coolant flow to them.

I expect that your engine out will find/fix the issue even of it is a leaking head gaskett.

well done on the lap time mate. SMOKIN :)

yeah mate....I would be delighted to find something wrong in either the externals or the long motor - at least that way I would be confident I found the problem. Otherwise it's chuck the new motor in and hope it just works :|

anyway...for anyone interested Irace is being broadcast tomorrow 1pm on SBS.....your chance to watch the last race meet that happened at Oran Park :thumbsup:

Sorry Chris...I didn't answer your question....

I had the fastest car in muscle class, but given the mods on my car I think that was good luck not good management. I would still expect to be blown into the weeds most times and I think their class rules are wrong in my case (ie they should follow CAMS to keep simple)

Overall the weekend was very smooth, I like the amount of track time, and I love the mixed race formats (scratch, reverse grid and handicap).

But ultimately, for me, it is not the CAMS state championships. Personally I have a car that can win the state champs but it takes ultra comittment to do so - I think I can do so one day so I will stick to it and spend and committ what I need to

For people interested in fun/acheivable/affordable racing, I think irace is a great option.

Oh one last thing....driving standards in muscle class were not up to scratch. Not sure what they can do about that but people need to understand that they are not racing for sheep stations....and that crashes cost everyone money. In the CAMS series we have some good processes in place to "talk" to people who don't show the appropriate understanding to their other competitors.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
