Roy - you are jumping the gun. Again. Your doctor can help with these premature issues you have.

Something that was going to be raised at the General meeting was competiton within the club. My thoughts were to have competiton classes within the club. Was going to be calling on you and Geoff for input on this etc.

But lets tackle this hurdle when we get to it. Right now just keep this as a little wanky toy thread! :rofl:

Actually I already spoke about price and they will be around $900 for the basic Kart type and $2000 for the car suitable one with the large readout.

Yeh they look trick, though ony have two inputs which is a shame.... mine has the integral lap timer and 4 inputs wich is still shy 2 or 3 when you look at the things i wanted to monitor...but where does the rice stop..... at a $4000 Motec ADL? :rofl:

top price Roy, I paid onver 600 for mine :rofl:

THey don't do quarter mile or anything like that, basically all the have is a little infra red receiver in the car, and it counts how long between going past the beacon. You put the beacon on the start finish line and it will tell you how long each lap was.

These are a great idea if you are serious about track days, you can see straight away whether you are getting faster or not....without a timer you never know whether you really did get it right....

Ridiculous. I can't afford to have that much extra weight in the car. That would bring it from a Stage 372 Weight Reduction to a Stage 368 Weight Reduction!!! ;):)

j/k :) Yeah, I paid AUD$600 for my lap timer from the UK, and it's pretty much the same thing (this is probably the newer model)... Great price! :rofl:

D00d...motor first...then fun toys ;)

I already have my fun toy, its sitting under my bed waiting to get my car back :D

But i saw these when looking for my "Atari" and remembered Merli/Duncans was more expensive...so i dont need one, but since im talking to the guy i thought id see if anyone else is interested , like Duncan said they are worth their weight (mmm only 85g) in gold for the feedback they give you on whether certain gears/lines are quicker thru corners :D

      Fuel pressure falls to zero at idle and stalls.

      If you've been mucking with vacuum lines, start there, and check you have your vac line on properly, and on a vacuum line that isn't flowing air, it's just a vacuum source.   When you measure your fuel pressure, are you measuring absolute fuel pressure, or gauge pressure compared to the inlet manifold?

      That last number you quoted is right about where I'm stuck, pretty spot on. Now let me share some of my Dyno results. Stock cams, stock fuel pump, stock MAFs, stock injectors, same exhaust and everything else oh yeah I forgot to add tomei FPR, intake cam advanced 2 notches, exhaust retarded 1 notch. Let's call this Dyno 01.

      @Murray_Calavera I forget but it's well within the duty cycle limits, my tuner is probably the only guy I trust locally to tune, definitely not the best but with his knowledge and experience, definitely the best here IMHO. He said it's the most he could get out of it on the last session (cam change) and increasing the boost wouldn't give much more gains. Yeah, definitely plan on upgrading to Link G4X or similar but I'd like to max out my setup first which I believe many have done so around 500hp.

      Yeah, so I think that is the point. If you presume a 25% lower reading on a chassis dyno than what the engine is making, then the most you would see from a 720HP engine is ~550wHP. "Lose" a little more because AWD dyno and the number will be lower. Call a hub dyno "wheel HP" and you should see higher numbers. But the horses would be a different size. And as Murray says above - an imposed 90% DC limit drops 550 down to 500 straight away. 80% takes you down to ~450.

      Sounds reasonable to me.  Do you know what your injector duty cycle is? I guess everyone has their own personal limit as to how high they want to flirt with 100% duty cycle, but who knows what your tuners limit is. Maybe they like to cap it at 80%? Now your injector CC to HP conversion has a 20% hair cut on it, then through drivetrain losses, yeah 500rwhp seems ok to me.  If you plan to spend on your GTR, modern injectors and a modern ECU will go a long way!
