Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

Morning all.

So...last nights drive was eventfull...
The bad,

1. Zeke's mate was supposed to be coming along in his Civic...he didn't tell us there was 10 other P platers with him as well...
2. My car started to smell like burning oil very badly. This was because the oil filler cap came off, either because I didn't put it on or because I put it on loose, and sprayed oil all over the engine bay.
3. While checking I had enough oil to drive the car safely I picked up a stick I the rear guard.
4. At the end of the run I put my thong on and didn't see the bull ant that was hiding at the end. From then on I had some very painful toes.
5. Car was still smelling of burning oil.
6. Picked up another, larger, stick with my rear bumper.
7. Cleaned up the easter bunny/hare at about 80 km/h. Sorry kids, no easter next year.

The good,
1. No one broke anything.
2. Pete blows awesome flames like Zeke.
3. Awesome drive with no unwanted attention.
4. Happened to meet up with Carl and a few of the EVO guys for a nice chat.
5. 1 less rabbit/hare in Queensland.

As long as all the cars stay shiny side up they are good night's despite all the random happenings! The random stuff is one of the main parts that makes it fun and interesting.

We were all fine, just heard from Carl that one of the EVO's kissed a guard rail with the rear quarter on the way down. Car was mostly alright other than a wrecked panel.

    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
    • street use or race track, what hose size and why? what factors change with the hose size options ?   see most comon is an10. when you see most oem external coolers are closer to an12? does high volume oil pump like nitto need an12 or 10 be just fine
