Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

with my boost controller switched off, it will run the minimum the wastegate spring/preload allows, so long as there is no damage to the wastegate lines.

that would be consistent with wastegate functioning correctly :) What pressure wastegate spring limits your boost?

I have often wondered about Wastegate actuation, as over time vacuum drops in an engine and the wastegate seals wear. So unless you constantly adjust it the boost control will lessen over time - good reason not to buy used wastegates.

On a far less serious note, and in response to 2.1 bar boost. In a modified GTIR years ago a friend used to boast that his engine could handle anything failing, so another friend told him to disable all boost control (wastegate locked) and remove the knock sensor for a 10 second full throttle blast. The thing went like a rocket - didn't blow up then, but one week later he called for a tow as he had just played catch the conrod. Motor pulled down and bearings were mushroomed and block had an awesome porthole. :)

lol......epic fail to that Gtir.

Having said that 2.1bar is no laughing matter

Yep, he was initially really happy about proving the doubters wrong until the engine died.

2.1 is high. I remember years ago hearing that Rigoli was ordering 5 bar map sensors, as the 3 bar were out of range on the racecar.

yeah those Rigoli boyz were truly nutz!

I remember their 4WD Hyundai Accent which ran 10secs or less

Waz crazy what they did by transplanting an Evo drivetrain in that chassis........but it worked!

That was the exact car - good memory :) the rumour was 43psi. I think it had a T60 or T70 Turbonetics custom turbo from memory.

See this thread for fond memories - 9.4sec 1/4. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/26511-rigoli-accent-in-the-9s/

Yep. Good times mate.......good memories.

I also happened to own an accent att when they did that lol

Turbonetics rings the bell as well.

Pretty sure I have a FastFour Mag somewhere about it

1.7 bar spring, lots of preload, did a few more tests consistent 2.08 - 2.1 bar, so needs to be backed off a tad.

so wastegate spring 1.7, no boost control gives 2bar? Boost creep?

    • Finally have an update on this  Rack came in this week so I did a test fit. You do need the S chassis bushings since the rack is 5mm thinner than the R33 rack. The main issue I foresaw and ran into was one of the hardlines not lining up properly with there it's meant to on the rack. After some gentle coercing and bending very slightly, I managed to get it to fit without any kinks and keeping the hardline pretty much in all of the factory mounting positions. I did have to unbolt all of the soft mounts to move the line around so I could snake it out and bend it safely but it looks good to me for now. I'll update when the rack is fully bolted in and functioning.  
    • I hear this thread needs an update following its adventures last Wednesday!
    • What are you thinking makes a sequential shit to drive on the street? About the ONLY thing I can think of, is if you're wanting to be able to roll up to lights in third or second and pop it straight into neutral, or you want to come down two or three gears, say out of 5th and back to second, but they shift quick enough it doesn't really matter
    • I'm not a drag racing guy, but that was a good watch. Didn't Ibrahim's car have some cooch! But the big question is....WTF is with so many of them running without seatbelts!
    • Sequential Is fine to drive on the street
