Hey

Yeah ill be there ! 

Hussling hard now to get seat time and make car all good  see if can get some early track time over east

🤞

Itd be really nice to have some luck 😁

Nice! I hope it all works out. At least now you know the track as well and can build from last year. Looking forward to see your car in action again.

You know it's cold when even the Tasmanian's are rugged up!

Can't wait to see the pictures of the next step.

Its was definitely cold 🥶  us w.a people dont take too well to it

 

We even took to doing 2 warm up laps to get to the tyre temp we wanted 

 

Update for those that want a read

A week before Aus Time Attack in Vic did a prac day got few laps then carbon bonnet decided to fold on itself whether it too much air under the lip, a pin failure or just pin not cliped in it happened... got fab guy to plate it 2mm ally each side and wrapped it. 15kg heaver but solid and mad max ready to race

Did pretty decent with 4th in Open class and 6th outright with 1.24 flat

Way more in it I was just too inconsistent to extract a quicker time without more track time and by the time I got decent enough to drive a good lap the tyres where cooked

Still OK

Drove the car straight up to Sydney and put in storage ready for WTAC flew home to Perth 

Blaaa blaaa the opportunity came to replace the billet RB2.7 with a brand new RB2.8 billet nitto wide journal complete engine a round about deal was done and Dahtones put it in this week and Brads tuning it on Thurs

FB_IMG_1719899642824.thumb.jpg.b0422434428bf0c96f8cd286304907ab.jpgIMG_20240713_090449_940.thumb.jpg.248e00ace528deda8e20f2981cc5948a.jpg

The RB2.7 would be avaiable for purchase from Racetech is anyone wants it such a killa engine !!

Apart from that its back into storage till the new bonnet gets put on and I rock back to Sydney  in 6 weeks on the Monday before WTAC to prep the car get some practice in and send it and see what happens!

 

Update over ... for now 😁

in reality the new engine was a swap alot because it was brand new vs 3 years old and the other one needing a refresh after wtac anyway

but... the 2.8 is obvious capacity etc and will do current power more easily and add some responsiveness not that that was really lacking 

the limiting factor with all this atm is injectors (ID1700s at 4 bar base) and turbo (precision 6780) literally being maxed out at bang on 1000hp as thats what the system was designed to do, so to go more need injectors, turbo and  maybe even intercooler

but i know a guy that like his power and will see how this all unfolds 

it is a rwd drive on an 050 tyre though and i am just a complete amateur so among other things the ability to drive it becomes a consideration also 

>complete amateur
>1:24 at Winton laggy massive HP RWD R32

I dunno about the first part
I would argue this use case probably doesn't need VCT, won't be in the rev range that it would ever be active!

medium amateur ??

VCT rather have than not and they NEO heads anyway... agree shouldnt be down there in revs agree but one  does stuff up at times and does help 😁

Wouldn't it be of the power range where a larger cam is more beneficial that is not VCT friendly?

Generally speaking I'm ALL for smaller cams and VCT, but I am not making 1000HP in a time attack car. This could actually be an application where a larger camshaft that isn't VCT capable may actually have a use case.

Youd think.. dunno

Big cams and VCT makes all the sense.

Kind of have the best of both worlds (kinda).

All these engines run Tomie B pro poncams

This becomes above my pay grade and rely on others and get I quote "your decision making powers have been revoked" 😅

    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • 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
