I think the Porsches speed is fine. I think their energy recovery system and general hiccups are what are going to be the problem at le Mans.

I can see it now. Flying all that way, camping for 4 nights and Webber's car will probably retire in the first hour without Mark even getting to turn a single lap. I have never beena good luck charm watching his F1 races. I hope WEC changes our fortunes!

lol!

Please don't jinx the chin man

Well as long as his arse keeps pointing towards the ground it will better than his last time out.

I actually said that to him a few months back when I met him at work. We were talking and a regular customer (who claimed to be a major fan, yet didn't even know he was now racing for porsche), asked him what he was doing this year and mark started telling him that he was racing wec for porsche and mentioned le mans. I chipped in with "hopefully it goes a bit better than last time you raced there". I laughed, mark chuckled, and the customer/mark webber fan didn't get it, lol.

Will be interesting how they go about it. My first reaction was that Rick Kelly seemed to show up the Nissan Intl drivers at Bathurst in the GTR. Fair enough, hometown advantage of Bathurst but had no seat time in the car....so was thinking htey need to up their driving talent pool

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
