Arrived couple days ago from brad profab for our dry sump set up. Also Bc picked up a pump elsewhere which saved us heaps of cash, Brett and dean have heaps of contacts in the Motorsport industry so we are lucky or else this new build would honestly not be possible.

Now some new aero and spray job required, so off to Andrew Kinsmore, Kinzy paint and panel to attach our new side skirts, spray up the interior and engine bay. Decided to match it all in same colour. Our old n1 side skirts I thought looked awesome, always loved them but to much air was getting under the car and causing lift, so added these which dropped the 220mm front and 240mm rear gap down to 100mm, open class allows ride hight at 65mm, we can perhaps lower it a little more, there will be a full flat floor after time attack which will get the hight down.

Mate that thing is a rig 470kw is leathal on the track you aiming for more power with precision turbo?

Our weakest link will be the block I believe, 450-500 should be fine for time attack, if we run 470 plus for a lap or 2 then we will pull the engine apart for a refresh after the event. The biggest advantage over the new engine turbo set up is when the power delivery will kick in and the higher rev range, as prior we didn't exceed 8200 I believe from memory.

Fitting up the front canards. Wool tuff test to see how the air flowed around the skirts, and to position the canards correctly. If only I had another 100k to spend on aero...then we could try pro class. I really appreciate when I see teams going flat out with aero as it makes a huge difference, but running pro class these days comes down to cash.

One of many tests performed at Bc automotive.

Our new goal lap time for Phillip Island is 1.31, we believe this will equate to around 1.29-1.30 at Sydney Motorsport. Going by the Gt series cars and deans experience there's about 2 seconds difference in the track if set up correctly. I will post more as work progresses, if you would like to follow the build on Facebook or through Bc automotive the links are below. The build will be complete by July 7th latest to get back for more testing at the island.

Hope the links work,

Good to see it coming along.

The touring car guys used that wool test in years gone by as well.

The interesting part when fitting up the side skirts in front of the rear tyre the air would stall(wool tuft would just fall), so we pulled the side skirts out just a little in line with the wheel and it would flow perfect without the tufts stalling. So we will fit it up like this and painted by Tuesday. Thanks heaps for your work on the oil pan, speedy return and great work.

Excited.

Any idea how many Victorian cars are competing? Congrats on club class dude, will be a fun few days. I've noticed Wtac aren't posting all competitors as most cars aren't ready yet, and they are building up the hype.

While I'm waiting for the painting, thought I'd share some other work that has been carried out by dean and Brett over the years.

Ap racing front and rear brakes, with brake bias adjustment. These were a massive step up in stopping performance from the csc brakes in the past. Also repositioned the oil cooler to the side vent which solved the engine oil temp getting hot after even 2 laps in the past.

Dean made up an aircraft aluminium stainless steel side exhaust which you can pick up with 2 fingers. Eliminating the old full length exhaust saving around 12 kg. Needs to be modified to fit through the new side skirts.

Exhaust looks awesome, sorry I must be confused with the material.

    • 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.
