Ok, So I went to Jump Mania today with my dad and little brother.

Boy oh Boy.. what a ****ing waste of dollars.

It was at the superdome (which isn't massive, in fact pretty pissy) and of the 3 hrs we were there, there was at least 40mins of intervals. The rest of the time dudes came out on 50cc mini bikes and drove in a circle, lucky to get 3 feet off the ground, 4 dudes on motocross bikes put on a decent show for about 30mins in total, 3 little mini monster trucks drove in circles (again, lucky to get 3 feet off the ground) and the big monster trucks came out and drove in circles... oh, and at the end, these trucks jumped on some cars...

The wining points;

- Truckosaurous (or whatever its name was) - oh man, i wanted to die!! Ten mins before this comes out, they push out a shitty old VN commodore into the arena. The lights go out, the lasers start, the (get this!!) jurassic park music starts and out comes TRUCKOSAof tUROUS. Truckosaurous drives over to the VN, clamps onto its roof and lifts it off. He makes it look so easy! It looks like the roof might be... IT IS!! The roof has been PRE CUT! So the ****ing thing just grabs it and lifts it off... Then (and this was the exciting part, especially with the jurassic park music and lasers) it drives back and forth over a 40ft area for about 10mins and then retires out the back while people are booing... the VN is then pushed off the arena, and that was truckosaurous... give me a ****ing break!

- The Motorcross dudes. Ok, so these guys were pretty good, but get this, one of them does a jump in the first 10 mins and runs straight into the wall...

- The Mini Monster Trucks. Ripper, when these things weren't jumping a whole 3 feet in the air, they were limping off after ROLLING onto their roofs!! Top work! Of 3 of these retarded things, 1 remained runing at the end. There were bits of them and fuel/oil all over the place..

- The real Monster Trucks ok, so they cost $270k, they wiegh 7 tonnes, they have 1500HP chevs... but really, they can drive in circles as much as they want, but its kinda boring... no, wait! one of them broke down TWICE and the 2nd time had to get towed off... now thats kinda exciting...

- The Mini Bikes - the most exciting thing was when a guy tried a backflip and landed on his head....

Guys, I was almost counting the minutes... it really ****ing sucked. :)

Then, we have a massive ****ing hail storm... :D

who let the bogan into the vic section :)

i went to see truckasaurus in Canada when it was on tour from the US. that thing was a firebreathing VW stomping (it ran over 6 VW's and crushed em all to pancakes) beast. only reason I went to see it was they actually mentioned it in the simpsons, and anything in the simpsons is teh cool.

      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.
