I did the same a couple years ago, the instructor didn't let me go past 4k rpm. As soon as boost starts to kick in, he was like change gears! Started yelling at me to change gears when I didn't lol.

Loved it when they took drove around the back track though.

Think this largely depends on the instructor you get and how many laps you sign up for.

First 8 laps of mine were in the evo and the instructor was making me change into 4th at 60 lol, just to learn the ropes of 4WD slides...but even he didn't mind me redlining 3rd down the straight.

Second 8 laps in the STI was with another instructor and he was telling me to go faster and faster. I asked if they could put me in with him for the hot lap for this reason, then told him I'd requested him specifically. I reckon he let his ego take over cause fk me there were some hairy moments involving trees and concrete tubes. Was scared but calm cause I felt he had total control and I have no idea how he made the car do what it did. Amazing driving ability that I could never dream of having. Many of the instructors compete in ARC, so it's pretty close to the real thing when you're in that passenger seat!!!

Drove a lambo lp570 ferarri 458 and jag xkr in the las vegas canyons when I was in the U.S was sick as :D best thing is you do it solo so much fun. Ferarri was the best car, lambo was like a full on track car brakes you had to smash, steering and gearbox was like bashing you against the hard seats lol

drove the first 3:

Ok. I can check em out if you want to remove them. Or just grab some 1000's, retune and enjoy e85.

What else are you going to spend all that FIFO cash on...

The effort of removing manifold to get to injectors is the same as plonking in 1000's haha

Re fifo cash; lots of jetski's

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
