My car is alright, ran out of tyre grip approaching turn 1, locked up, released, locked up again, released, locked up again... just went straight off the track into the kitty litter at about 120.

Tell you what, that wall comes at you mighty quickly... Ripped off the bottom of the front bar, cooler piping, bent the body metal where the cooler piping hole is, ripped a rubber joiner in half. Don't want to start the car since there's like a kg of sand and gravel in the piping... trailered it home and its now sitting on the street out the front of my house, now I need to work how how to get it 20m up my driveway into the garage. I'm thinking just AFM directly onto the crossover pipe so it'll run.

Went out with some of the guys tonight for dinner and drinks, 54 Jack and Cokes later I'm home.

bahahaha, probably went a little over zealous thinking it was only one parade lap - got a bit out of shape into 3rd gear wheel speed must of shot up to 150km/h + easy and touched the grass nek minit in a spin, too much iracing not enough real racing

serves me right for f**king around a bit - got some stern looks from the officials down pitt straight

    • Yeah nice idea, you mean to suction it to the gauges? I hadn't thought of that.
    • A few suggestions: Do you have the option of retarding your exhaust cam gear to bring the power band over to the left? VCT would be turned off after you make peak torque, you see the power/torque will decay faster with it left on all the way to the limiter Once VCT is turned off, you'll find the motor will take a bit more timing being ramped in Send its mum, more boost! Of course, depends on your exhaust pressure.

    • I was back on the dyno again yesterday after completely revamping my methanol injection system. I was making 440kw at 19psi. Great, this is more then I was making last summer with my old meth system at that pressure, and I figured it would be smooth sailing up to 30+psi. We continued increasing from there and by 25psi, I had only hit 455kw. Dyno sadly lost utility power at this point and I left. We seemed to be on course to hit the same power wall as last summer (477kw@27psi). This is a built RB25 S1 stroked to a 2.8. Built and ported head with Kelford 272/262 cams. Precision 6466 Turbo. Tuner last year believed the power wall is a mix of RPM limitations (Hydro lifters/Limit set at 7600RPM) and fueling. With my new meth system, we're seeing zero knock now but it still won't go up.  What else can I do at this point? Here's my train of thought.  - It's clear from the dyno graph that I would easily make power to 8500+RPM but I'm limited to 7600RPM. I could risk increasing my limiter, but hydro lifters have me worried. What are my options here besides going NEO head or solid lifter conversion? I'm rocking a 1.05AR turbine on my 6466. Would dropping down to a .84 help shift that power down in anyway? - We're only seeing roughly a 30kw difference at the top end with VCT on or off. Is this normal? I want to confirm VCT is working properly. - Should I look into other cam options?  - Should I just keep increasing boost and see if she wakes up later on? I would expect to hit 600rwkw around 35psi with my 6466.
