last time the engine was dyno'd was a few years ago, in a different car - at which time it made 122.3rwkw.

It has a slightly better intake and exhaust now, so I'd expect 125-130kw

The trick is to not have much weight to push along, and to come out of the last corner as fast as possible :thumbsup:

Went back out to Mallala and pulled 1.24.1, 1.6s faster than my previous time, so I was stoked.

Only thing that changed was brake pads, running TRW Lucas (not great, but for $50, cant complain). Still got fair bit of brake fade, mostly fluid as I ran out of time the night before and didn't flush it.

Feel there's still more left in it as it's still a bit too oversteery, and a bit from brakes. Oh and new semis would be nice, these ones are rock hard :P

Yeah pretty much. 1st session was knocking a bit (then blew a cooler pipe off when I backed off). Spoke to Benno and he said it was tuned for 100 and I was only running 98. So I had to pull a bunch of timing out and have a test run to make sure it was ok. Lost heaps of top end speed after doing that (about 15-20km/hr) so will be looking forwards to going back there with some 100 fuel.

Also the car stops so much better now than it ever has. The one session I had half a go I was stopping so much earlier than I needed and kept having to get back on the gas. The hard thing was I am simply so used to my braking points that in this one session I wouldn't allow myself mentally to drive in deeper to where I can now go. So there is a couple more seconds in the car for sure with a bit more seat time. But it's great to have a car I feel confident in even if I did still have a few minor hiccups again today.

Marginally off topic but thought you guys might like to see the 62.59 Barbagallo Long Circuit Skyline in action in a reverse grid race. Car went from 18th to 2nd in the race. Hope you like it

Cheers

That looked like fun :)

I see the camera car had to back off through the Essess - with your power do you also have to ease off through there Evan?

Yes there is a big lift off through the esses as the car starts to turn right over the crest and gets quite light before straightening to brake and take the left hander. The esses are great fun and very challenging to get right and oooh so fast. Sometimes I wish the esses went for longer

Yeah the EVO I drove around there the other week was pretty much on it's limit holding it flat but it could just be done if you got the angle through the previous left right. But that little crest for the right hander is awesome fun although I can imagine there has been a good number of big offs there through the years. Those essess definitely make the track.

With the horsepower and control tyres / rim size 235/45/17 on 8 inch rims and Toyo conrol tyres we have no chance of holding it flat...the crest sends the car sideways if you dont lift off and then the entry / braking for the left hander is VERY messy...yes the off's have been very messy...especially when you try and fit three cars through there side by side...lots of tears. I also love "Nameless" corner...the right hander after the left hander going up the hill. You know you have nameless right in third or 4th when the rear left kicks up dust just dropping of the edge of the track and then you hold your breath heading down the hill into Kolb. :D

The lap tims you guys are doing now are flat out flying. It would be interesting to see the times you could punch out on an open practice day where you get more laps to get into a proper rhythem.

Sorry to see the day end the way it did Andrew, hopefully nothing too major

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
