powercruise is boganised and is boring as batshit (been to all 3 so far), i'll be fishing haha. BUT i hope everyone who enters/spectates has a jolly good time

maybe, but you get to take ur mates for a ride in your ride, participate against cars you wouldnt usually see in competitions and make what you can of it.

i particuly like the fact that you think its boring as bat shit but you have been to all 3. lol

ive been to all 3. driven at 1 out of 3. after the first one i voued never to go again unless i was driving. last year id already payed entry but the car wasnt ready so i went anyway. wont bother going again unless there is some car driving action to be had.

Ive entered each time and had 3 engines fail. So not entering this year as I want the engine to last so I can get some ks out of the car. lol

well, you know, ya just hope the next one is better hahah!

I have to admit, i actually enjoyed the first, I remember watching the off street drags and some (i've forgetten his name...) bloke in that silver 33 GTR targa spec racepace built monster simply trounced everything that went up against it - inlcuding whitler/darby's, whoevers purple carpri. 340kw's & stupid response and 8000rpm launches and man could he get it off the line! very good wheeler. since then, it just hasnt delivered for me I'm afraid.

Being a retired 2E clubcar, now toy it has been a slow ongoing passion over the last 4 or so years. I have only ran it at symons 2 times in the last 3 years on test days and broke a turbo each time. In the last 12 months I have worked hard and spent money on quality bits!!! I am vary happy with the power it made on the dyno but that was just to get a tune in it!!!! Next job is fitting a boost controller. I am wanting to have a test at symons and a run at the drags before christmas. 12yrs ago it ran a 64 sec on a carb around symons and 2yrs ago it ran 12.6 1/4 mile with a little to4. Hoping to inprove on both times!!!! Then have fun at power cruise if I am able to enter!! I love skids!!!!!

Not enough time for RX2 test at symons and drags before christmas. I am in the process of setting up suspension and brakes up for powercruise as we talk (daylight hours, before to much beer!!) Very keen for some skids!!!!!!!!!!

May be a S6 RX7 in tow, smoken em as one can!!!! Show your rotor HP!!!! Happy boostn!

    • Well it wasn't as easy as I thought.... and it also wasn't in my original manual which I did end up finding. They discuss the process in the Nismo catalogue though and it requires slight machining. Page 145.  NISMO PARTS CATALOGUE 2020
    • I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now. 
    • You sir, big win tonight. Precision never supplied compressor maps in the past and Idk when they started, but it seems they only offer for a few of the older gen2's which is exactly what I have. I punched in some numbers and seem to have gone with the wrong turbo. 600-700whp isn't in the most efficient area and is close to the choke line. 800whp is well off the map. Punching the numbers into a 68mm gen2 turbo map is bang on in the center. Here I was thinking going smaller would shift the power band down, but in reality it would just make it so much worst due to my rev limit. I would have never thought. 
    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣
