AAAARRRGGGG.

Best run was 12.105 @ 126 mph

I missed gears ( 2nd to 5th is not a good thing), still stupid amounts of wheel spin, I then was given the good word to start in second which would have worked better with more revs as I stalled launching off the line.

I eventually got a good run on my last pass, started in 2nd, launched at 6000rpm, it felt good till I got some wheel tramp, still it was my best launch and time.

My next time out should be better still as Im starting to get the hang of it, I just need to slip the clutch a little longer instead of getting off the throttle as I think this is what caused the wheel tramp.

Over all a fun night.

11.99999999999999 next time maybe !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At least Nick had some good times.

Mark, how'd that last run feel, it looked better, no stall at least :nyaanyaa:

bit slow off line then some wheel spin then gone

Thanks for the tips mate, Im sure with some more seat time Ill eventually get there.

Ohhhh Mark soooooo close!!!!

I had abit more luck then Mark first run was an 11.9@118mph I was stoked with that then 2nd run punched out an 11.622@119mph

Got close to it with an 11.67@120 then 11.7 and an 11.8

For some reason boost wouldn't go above 1.4bar when it should be 1.55 so confused about that one but all in all car performed flawlessly and very happy with the results

Tyres used were 265/35/18 Michelin pilot super sports

that's it mate, more practice and that 11 will come, you have good mph

do you think the second gear launch was better traction wise and with a few runs more do you think it will work for you

60" time on the last?

The 2nd gear launch felt much better BUT the 60 ft was 2,347, the wheel tramp put me off as it gave the car a good shaking at the top of 2nd gear, I thinkl I backed off a bit and it started to tramp, I should have kept up it in hindsight, time will tell.

Did it look like I had the right revs on launch?

yeah it looked much better, to me it looked like your clutch motion/timing was a bit off though, bit slow to get to the friction point then a bit to fast off the rest, which results in rolling off start line for a few meters then excessive wheel spin, your car clearly has the torque to pull second no worries it's just practice, and 6000rpm in second looks the money

maybe look at slightly stiffer shocks, your squatting a bit fast and it looks to be hitting the bump stops

well that's 3 beers time for bed

So close mark, let us know when your heading out next.. Hopefully when I'm back!

Nice work Nick, what power is your car making now?

Making 350-360awkw that's at 1.55bar tho was only for some weird reason making 1.4bar tonight so say 340ish tonight lol who knows :P

Im going next week :) lets see if i can get a 11.5 this time.

Nick ma man. Need to nail those 60' times man

Even with your "low boost" thats a low 11 sec car

Yea probably had wrong tyre pressures not too mention the circuit set up I'm running but still very happy with the result

And my ham fisted driving hahahaha

Lap times are what I'm after ;)

Time to get yours out on track!!!

I agree Nick you need to work on your 60's. Back in the day (before my flywheel turned to dust) I was doing 1.6's on worn out Nankangs with less power. You have a solid 0.25sec ET to gain just on improving your 60's.

Yea you are right im sure with some more practice i could get it alot lower but for me anyway straight line gets a little boring

dont get me wrong its good fun but not what i built my car for

It's great practice for the track. Gear changes and throttle control play a big part in 1/4 mile and show massively in your ET. Transfer those skills across to a 2-4km circuit and you can see how much time can be gained/loss just in gear changes alone.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      Could it really happen......

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
