Mark has raced karts for many years and won numerous state and national titles as well as racing in the CIK series. He won the second Kart Stars series giving him the FF drive. He was always a very good driver in clubman, but didnt stand out as much in CIK with the stickier tyres, Formula Fords need to be thrown around a bit so i think he likes driving like that, done very well for his first season.

Mark had a little problem this morning while leading the 1st race,,,,unfortunately he clipped a curb and sideswipped the wall.

Car is fixable and he will line up again tomorrow morning but from the rear of the grid. Maybe I should have shut up,,,,I jinxed him.

It's actually not his 1st season in FF,,,,he did the Vic Tittles the year before.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
