GOLDEN THREAD

Pity Im not a betting man, dont bet, or Id lay down some on Heslo, just 'cause he might.

While I argue its unfair 'cause the borrower (Chef) can thrash it flat to the floor, give it back & have not a care in the world for consequences (big crash)... whilst the owner might drive 'not quite' flat out due to the nature of the beast, ie sentimental / personal value of the car.

In other words Chef can drive it 100% vs Heslo at 97.5%, always holding "just that little bit" back. In this instance Chef by a good half-second.

I see Chef setting the times and Heslo bettering his in his attempt to reach the golden 100% all-in threshold

If Heslo reaches this 100% spot for a lap he'll see 1.18.7's to Chefs 1.19.4's

Go Heslo. Give it some.

+1 with tangles comment.

i wouldn't let anyone drive my car at the track - let alone to beat my own personal records etc.

Luke has guts/trust/big balls for letting the Chef fang his car

theres alot of love/trust between the group of us. many a times swapping cars. theres not alot that can go wrong with the car, other than mechanically.

If you crash at Mallala curcuit racing, you'd have to be doing some stupid shit

This is a no brainer, one person owns the car and pays the bills for it, the other doesn't... it's like driving a hire car, use and abuse ;) Chef to go 1:18.99 vs Luke 1:19.55

Improved Production record is well below 16's now, Tony Wallis in his Mazda 808 has gone 1:14.97 - control tyre, width and diameter limited rim, and a mere 230ish rear wheel killerwasps.

Track day out there last year, tidy Datto 1600 destroyed - B pillars about half the distance apart than OEM. A daily driver STI, Integra R and another car I can't recall - might have been an FTO - all major damage, structural, fire wall, etc. A couple of them were minding their own business, wrong place, wrong time.

    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
