haha I'm here! Yeah, Noel and Mike are spot on. Im stretched a little thin atm. However I have fixed the issues I had on the dyno the first time. Its just a matter of getting time to go back to finish off the tuning. Currently fabricating a whole exhaust system on my old mans HR holden w/ stroked LS1 to 383CI, then I have my uncles 56' chevy to fit new 434CI stroked small block into and fab up exhaust system and fuel system. After that is Dads 57' chevy which a 632CI BBC with a 4L80e box to go into it and then exhaust system and fuel system to suit. The two Chevy's need to be done before April for a charity event we were hoping to attend at Harry's.

So my car has gone on the burner again until further notice unfortunately! If I get some time in the next couple of weeks I will attempt to get it tuned!

Sorry to say fellas that I ended up quitting on this. I did finish it and got it all going, but it was an absolute pig to drive. I couldn't get the change over from off boost to on boost with the bypass valve to work very well. I spent a fair bit of time trying different valves and setups trying to make it more drive-able. It was just taking too long to try and get it to a level where I would be happy with it.

My apologies for the disappointment peoples! If I had more free time and absolutely no social life or girlfriend then I would attempt to perfect it all, but this is just not feasible. I really hate to be a quitter...its killed me a little on the inside not being able to get it all to work how I was hoping. :(

Anyway. the car is on the back burner at the moment. The back up plan is to go to a big single and just pump out some laggy horsepower for fun.... of course when time presents itself!

How does every other supercharger in the world work then, they don't seem to have any fancy things to make them idle ok, do they all just have a low speed air bypass valve or something?

Even if you just wired a recirculation line with a very small bore eg 1/2 inch from the intake to the discharge this would recirculate air at idle and at high boost would only recirculate a little bit.

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
