C'mon, surely not everyone who is coming up for Deca will be driving??

At this stage with the lack of volunteers I am starting to wonder why the commitee bother putting the effort into organising DECA when they cant even get enough volunteers in advance and are left chasing people on the day. Maybe it will take a cancellation of DECA on the Saturday morning for people to realise we arent saying that the event will not run if we dont have the volunteers just for fun? Why should we be left chasing people on the day?? I've only been helping out a few years but each time we run DECA it peeves me off to no end the fact that Bec, Ryan, Wayne, Martin etc are all chasing around asking people if they can help on the day. It's not that hard to volunteer a few hours in the morning and get plenty of runs in the arvo with mates. /end rant

I think possibly youre forgetting the fact that alot of helpers are friends of those entered or going up for a look.

In this case these people are not actually active on the forum. I know for a fact one of my mates came up for a look last time and ended up helping, he isnt part of this forum. He will probably help again.

Of course it would be wonderful if all of the spots could be filled prior to the event but you cant really expect not to have the chase people on the day.

Hey guys Jett has just informed me that he's signed up to drive. Sorry to stuff you around, I did try to get some helpers this time around and had 3 lined up originally!

As always we can help between runs where needed.

    • Hi All,    I have my BW EFR 8474 with a T4 split 1.05 rear housing. Rear housing is ceramic coated and drilled and tapped for EMAP take off.  Supported 520awkw at 35psi through the 8HP with ~5k rpm spare on the BW 127k limit. Ran a 9.98.    Turbo is one of the first that was released but only done ~3k kms.    Asking $2800 happy to negotiate. Only selling to upgrade.   Located Gladstone QLD happy to ship. 
    • Hi is the Toshiba sceeen still available?
    • Just wondering how come the hood was grinded down? 
    • I have no hard data to report, but I have to say, having driven it to work and back all week, mostly on wet roads (and therefore mostly not able to contemplate anything too outrageous anywhere)..... it is real good. I turned the boost controller on, with duty cycle set to 10% (which may not be enough to actually increase the boost), and the start boost set to 15 psi. That should keep the gate unpressurised until at least 15 psi. And rolling at 80 in 5th, which is 2050 rpm, going to WOT sees the MAP go +ve very quickly and it has >5 psi by the time it hits 90 km/h. That's still <2.5k rpm, so I think it's actually doing really well. (I edited this from a previous version where I stated 80km/h was <2000, but that was a false memory. If I am rolling at ~1700 in 5th and floor it, it will start making boost before it goes over 2k - which is a separate "experiment" leading to the same conclusion. Which is that the boost threshold is actually quite low. It's not fast there, obviously, but it certainly makes progress towards going fast, which is not what it's been like for a long while!!) Because of all the not-quite-ideal things that have been in place since the turbo first went on, it felt laggy. It's actually not. The response appears to be as good as you could hope for with a highflow.
    • Or just put in a 1JZ, and sell me the NEO head 😎
