yeah, and the ferrari and audis kill it over the top too.  interesting how such different approaches end up with similar times.

 

the privateer gtrs are a little disappointing for pace, goes to show the importance of ongoing factory updates considering all 4 are apparently the same race car.

well he made a couple of mistakes at the end, but the car he was given was not fast enough to win....that ferrari killed everyone by miles. His best in that car was 2+ seconds slower that the ferrari's best so they weren't even in the same race. I like how SVG handled afterwards too, no big ego dummy spit despite being the current v8 champion and going faster than a lot of fancied international drivers during this race.

Huh, Nissan should have developed the Z to be their super car, it was the Z in the US which opened up that market and won a lot of races in the 70's and 80's.  Now there is not even a V8 or turbo version of the Z  :2_grimacing:

    • This is what the look like normally. Except we only got the 2 doors locally
    • Back pressure is not really a function of the exhaust itself, but the turbine/housing. So the question/point remains valid. I would be fitting an EMAP tapping point and seeing what is going on in the exhaust manifold before committing to throwing boost at it. Flow. No intercooler is actually rated for continuous operation at any power level wrt temperatures, as they are no actually capable of shifting the required amounts of heat on a continuous basis. They get hot during a pul, then dump some of that heat into the external air (and some back into the internal air) during off load moments/periods). You probaby do need a bigger core, given the power level you're already at is somewhat above the "rating" of the cooler. Put pressure tapping points either side of the core (which possibly you already have, if you have a boost source near the compressor outlet and tapping near the throttle for existing purposes) and report on delta P across the core.   I haven't done the mass flow calculation to see where you would be sitting on the compressor map at the ~450is rwkW level we're talking here, but if you look just at the PR you're running at, which is ~2.8-2.9, then you have a really really wide swath of the compressor map to run in, and so long as you were making between about 45-75 lb/min of flow, you should have really good comp efficiency, with the ideal being betweem 55 and 65. I can't see the need to shift drastically on the map to get better results.
    • Welcome 🙂 The ER34 wheels and slight lowering suit the R33 sedan really well. I'm firmly in the 'keep it stock, at least on the outside' camp.
    • Do this, and we'll have a resource right here.
    • "Hybrid" is a meaningless term. I could not tell you what the vendor of that turbo means by "hybrid".
