Had a great day out at a cold Collingrove today - with the intention of shakedown runs prior to Time Attack Round 3 on June 13th. Recently, the car has been upgraded to run 'corn gas' with a new set of ID1000cc injectors from Tuff Car Parts, and fuel system mods thanks to Pete and the guys at Autosport.

With a massive thanks to Martin and the crew from Willall Racing, the car picked up 50kw at the wheels with 3 psi less boost, which is most definately noticeable on track! Fitted with a developmental Willall Racing upgraded braking package, and the Mt Alma Mile-spec wheel and tyre package, I was able to pilot the angry beast to a CLASS WIN, testament to the excellent support from the previously mentioned sponsors and Major Sponsor Willall Racing.

I am looking very much forward to running Mallala in a couple of weeks.........

Awesome work Andrew - I was getting excited just talking about your car last Friday at Willall's - can't wait to actually see the beast in action. What was your best time?

Far out mate, you dont muck around. Only the other week you were saying about some upgardes coming and now BAM, you done them all. Well done and congrats.

I'll be there one day in the near future.

Cheers guys - the car is really coming along nicely now thanks to many hours of work in the cars' Secret Development Headquarters (which also doubles as a shed - how 'bout that!). I've got the tyre warming sequence on camera, I'll upload it soon as I get some time. That and the crazy in car. Cold track, medium compound slicks and lots-O-power didn't make my life easy for the run up the footpath to the top! thumbsup.gif

Bit better than the piss weak amount of smoke from Alma hey. Good work on the win, I'll have a look at the trophy when I'm over next. This car is going to be really one to watch once its all sorted and your new wheels finally arrive!

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
