I remember years ago standing in Chapel St, overhearing some wogboy talk about his VL turbo...no shit, I heard the words "stage 4 blow off valve" come out of his mouth

Yo, where my Jerrycans at?

I got home with the fuel guage sitting right on E, and 1/2 a jerry in reserve. Perfect.

I'm still not sure how I'm going to get them back to you.

We filled my car Friday night and it got home on just over half a tank so pretty happy with that.

whos doing wtac this year?

Me, attending not racing.

Does it make the noise in all except 4th or in all gears?

With the clutch in / clutch out?

Can't remember to be honest, pretty sure it's all gears.

Clutch out.

Damn, I think I went through about 45L getting home :/ Cruising off boost (but I guess the intake leak would have made it richer than normal)... However, it used over 40L for 240km on the way up as well.

40 / 2.4 = 16.6L/100k (mostly off boost, but a few little squirts)

No rush on the Jerries, won't need them all for a while (until the next long distance track).

Where do you live again? I'm in Vermont, work in Cheltenham

Mine wasn't too much different then, probably around 40L for 220km.

I'm on the other side, Altona Meadows/Maidstone so not a quick trip.

I'll organise to get them to you at the next meet hopefully or sort something else out.

Clutch out.

If all gears and does it when sitting there in neutral with the clutch out, could be input shaft / throw out bearing or yes, spigot.

If it does it in neutral, find out if the sound changes (louder, higher pitch) as you rev the engine...if so, then it's most likely the above. If it doesn't do it in neutral and the sound doesn't change with engine rpm then it will be output shaft or a diff.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
