They do know the main 120L tanks capacity, but they don't know the level in the 10L swirl pot that's inside the tank bladder.

The car should start with 120L and a full swirl pot.

So in theory using 1.2L/km they should be able to go 108km's at race speed which the other 3 nissans did.....

Problem rick would have had was that he had several cars wanting his position so he'd have been using more fuel during the race to maintain position.

Who knows why but the older engines are still running group fired injection and single coil dizzy setups. The nissans and Mercs are fully sequential multi coil arrangements but they can't get onto the consumption of the dinosaur push rod engines, they are just that efficient.

Brad, I was under the impression (from the Motec V8 support personal) that the COTF engines are all sequential and individual coils (powered by the new M1xx series ECU's) The teams had the option of running either group or sequential firing on the old engines (with the M880 ECU), with most using group fire as it left a few outputs available to be used elsewhere on the car, prior to the development of PDM's E8xx and SVIM's.

They are correct.

The COTF engines are run sequentially. The holden version is based on the LSX engine frame from GM performance.

The older aroura engines most of them are using are still being run in the exact same way as they were last year. Grouped with single channel CDI and coil.

I'm not aware of anyone using the V8 supercars supplied and homologated engines that are seq run. Perhaps when other manufactures come that don't produce a V8 we will see those engines being used.

The pace built and V8 supercars owned chassis do have the homologated "off the shelf" engines fitted.

Thought the COTF tanks were 112 litres or similar?

  • 4 weeks later...

Nobody mentioning that Gary Rogers will be running two Volvos next year?

Good to see the series kicking a few goals re manfacturers. Next test will be to get some satellite series going and then have a 4 World Championship rounds. Spa, Bathurst, a US circuit and Silverstone or something

Yeah good on em for taking the punt!

It will upset a lot of people but i like the fact that its not just the old Bogandore and Foulcans!

I don't think it will upset many at all.

There are a LOT of diehard fans... They may not be upset now but when the other makes catch up and start winning races they might ;)

I don't see any of the new manufactures winning races anytime soon. I think the mercs will probably be the first to do it, followed by the volvos and then the Nissans (if they ever actually win, which I doubt with the current driver lineup)

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
