Kumho Lap Battle Championship Round 3 - Date & Location Change


Recommended Posts

Yeah mate, the 235 khumos where just not up to the task, I usually run 265 Dunlop R but I got the khumos for free, the car is going in to suspension warehouse for some bushes and adjustable caster arms, while its there I'll get then to give it a good hard look over.

Also I'm in the market for some 255/40 17 R medium/hard comp tyres, not sure on what brand though, price will factor in so whatever tire rack has in that size in a motorsport tyre maybe.

I want one of those camera thingies you got though, it's awesome, what was the brand and model again ?

im suprised you killed the kumhos so quickly, we've got some guys that have used them for ages. Maybe its the soft compound that did it?

Ben - definitely agree the dummy grid area needed work. I think we can do a better job at getting cars out faster next time (accidents & spills withstanding). The WRX club did the organisation on this one and this event was a bit of a benchmark for future ones. With the feedback we are getting we can throw ideas around and improve some of the things that didnt work so well.

There wasn't duplicate groups, but white group was given a session with instructors outside the normal rotation, that was discussed at the drivers briefing. Next year there will be better communication in the lead up to the event as well, which should help as well.

The 1500 odd kg boat with 235 soft compuond was not a winner, tyres just ate themselves through massive understeer, my set up/alignment was the same as last time out but the 265 Dunlops seemed to eat it up better.

I'll be looking at my set up again though.

there is a link on evo oz to boost crusing but its mostly a few evos or static off track shots. http://www.boostcruising.com.au/forums/index.php?showtopic=776524

I'll link any photos on our forum here too. Waiting anxiously on a guy we had taking photos. Apparently he got a few with me popping some sizable exhaust flames - can't wait to see them :yes:

The camera you were using is a Contour - Pro HD version I believe. I also use a Contour GPS which is the model below the Pro but still fantastic in my view. To make a video like the one I've posted above is soo easy (although I haven't got the sync completely spot on, it's very easy to change) with a program called Dashware - all the data you see there came from within my little camera.

I got mine from USA a few months back when the dollar was at about $1.05 US - just under $350 delivered with a suction mount. Not sure on pricing now. Good bit of kit. Get one Mark!

Mine is the ContourPlus edition, main difference is it has an external mic port.

Wasnt able to get Dashware to work at all, it detects the data and imports it but the gauges dont show anything and the lap timer just keeps ticking over...weird

There is a feature on the day here:

I'd expect in the next week or so, remember we are doing this in our spare time. They're underway but its a manual process. From a quick skim over the sessions it looks like you'll be pretty close to Mal in the final points so taking the time to make sure the numbers are spot on is even more important.

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
