Russman's Time Attack Build

[SimonR32]

Must sound pretty good

see same same haha

[Beer Baron]

Put a STD GTR cooler in it Russ! Best flow kw wise and they actually allow air threw to ur rad which is a big problem with all these crappy aftermarket tube and fin/bar and plate coolers!

Just did similar upgardes to my thing, High mount and GTR cooler now making an easy 320kw and running 30 degrees cooler at Sandown!

wise words. something so often overlooked and yet so important. thick cores are awful for air flow through the core and even worse if they are bar and plate. a nice thin tube and fin core up to about 80mm (max) is perfect. and the good onse (ARC) etc do fine up to 800hp and more.

Few more pics.

SCREAMER!!! It sounds awesome. I'll put up a vid soon.

New OMP wheel

How'd you go about making the cooler ducting? Need to do that for my SMIC!

[Russman]

Sounds good Simon

The cooler was definitely the restriction. I got the blitz kit and now we're making 280 on 19psi. We wound it up to 20.5 accidentally and it made over 300 so yeah. Happy that it's no longer held back. For superlap it'll be making about 270. Very happy. Torque curve is FAT!!!

Congrats on the times Russ, 1:42.4380, nothing to sneeze at given the company you're keeping in the timing list and the significant budget differences

[SABBAi]

Great time Russ. Also, one of the Brisbane guys got a great pic of your car.

[Russman]

Thanks guys.

[N1GTR]

What a good sounding car this is!

Top effort Russ. What was the concensus on the sway bar swap - make much of a difference? You were on A050 mediums yeah?

[Russman]

It made it turn better but oversteered a bit. We then softened the rear shocks and it was well balanced for the very last session. That's when I did the 42.

[N1GTR]

OK so, whats next? weight loss?

[Russman]

Yeah. I'm thinking full cage, carbon doors, front and rear diffusers with cannards, then lean on this motor to get over 300, Maybe E85 for more

See how I go with that.

Your car was rad at WTAC! I thought it was yours but couldn't tell because of all the new stickers/decals. Congrats on the time mate, hope you come back next year!

Here's two pics i snapped of it.
