WRX Club - Rnd 2 - Phillip Island - March 12


Recommended Posts

Snowy, I thought that was your autosalon run. doesn't matter, i'll squeeze every last drop but on previous assumption it seemed achievable. 260 won't be a problem and will be welcome for top end. When you are sick of the 2530's I'll be in the wings.........:(

Al ultimately the head will have GTR cams as well, just reground to suit the hydraulic lifters but will lack the valve size. Plus the GTR34 turbos are safe at 1.2bar or 17.2 psi. Nice job parking BTW :P. Sorry to hear of it mate.

Ferni I am also running a malpassi FPR which allowed 220 rwkw with the stock injectors at 85-90% with the GTR pump, plus I will be using a Bosch 044 external and swirlpot (for safety on the track). Fuel won't be a problem. Again though, a car with a higher compression ratio will produce more power at the same psi.

No worries Wayne.

At this current stage you will be competing against Ant, heartbrkr and Chrisman (in a TX5) within the club.

Now - if you didnt realise we are all pretty much staying down at PI for the weekend. There are still beds available so you (and if you have a Mrs even) are more than welcome to join us - for either just one night or all weekend if you wish.

:)

Thanks for the offer, I already have accomodation down there. I will fax the entry form off tomorrow. Can you please bring another CAMS entry form for a temporary licence, in case my real one does not arrive by then.

No worries Wayne.

:rofl:

Denham.

The fuel comes from VPW - 541 High Street, Epping - Victoria 3076

The fuel you want is the Sunoco GT Plus 104 (they have a few different types but this is the one you want).

Cost $120 for a 20L drum. One drum will last 2 track days. FYI - this is the stuff Benno uses.

Also Denham - you are in 2WD modifed. You are against Roy, Geoff, Gareth (if he's coming).... and the Ice Supra! :rofl:

Why is Ant in the std class?

He has a Hi-flow turbo, wolf-3d and a little more stuff

Ant: :)

Geoff, you know alot more than me, but with injectors at 85-90% at 220rwkw, i would think at 250rwkw injectors would be close to max.

Nah mate, upgraded now to toyota 440cc injectors from the std RB25 that I had @220rwkw. I think the standards are 340cc or so. A good size jump anyway and good for 300rwkw so plenty in reserve.

Denham, no pics yet as I'm still fitting parts and stuff together. Have to get the manifolds today (Robbie has been flat out with drags and PAYING customers....) and hope to be on the dyno Weds.

What won't get done at this stage will be the cams, swirlpot and 044. Still should be a good power figure but just running out of time and available cash (and wifes' patience) :P

Roy!! You were supposed to be sleeping Dammit!!! Have you apologised to that poor lady yet that you woke at oh dark hundred Friday morning??? Flowers, a nice gift and dinner and a big big apology or you will go straight to HELL in her regard and you won't get ANY.

Oops. i put down standard class on the application. Oh well, hopefully organisers will put me in associated.

Took my car to mechanic yesterday. Changed oils etec.

Probs:

- rear brakes are worn

- front tyres are close to indicators.

Going to see if i can source some cheap pads; and if anyone wanna save me some cash by helping install them? btw, was there some group buy (blind elk?), or did that come and go.

Not sure what to do with tyres. The rears (36psi) have heaps of tread left (no burnouts) but the front (38-40psi) have worn down twice as fast . Deciding whether i can get away with putting the grip at the front, and running the worn on the rear. Bit of a gamble if marshalls kick up a stink.

Else what tyres to get? 2 or 4? Ive got Falken Azenis which came with my car. Havent got $300+ for each tyre. Will have to dip into savings at any rate. Any recommendations?

I'm in for the 12th as well. Having only just bought the R34, Phillip Island will be a good place to get used to driving it after 8 years in Subarus (or not)...

Yas can add me to your championship if you like. I'm happy to join up and pay.

Currently I am a WRX Club member.

The car is standard other than some timing gears and a tune at Racepace. I may also have a PowerFC in by next Saturday if all goes to plan. I'm also planning on running RE55s.

It's goimg to be a great day, let's all keep our fingers crossed for dry weather.

Does anyone have a good suggestion for how to fit a bonnet restraint to the R34?

Cheers

heartbrkr: I wouldn't go for cheap pads if your going on the track, they will fade really quick. Try some RB74 pads around $150 i think, if your really strapped for cash you may be able to get away with some bendix ultimates, a bit cheaper. As for tyres, are they worn on the inside only? or all around? Hard to say what to do without seeing them... I don't remember ever having the scruitineers actually check my tyre tread, so not sure what the deal is there.

wwwrxxx: will be good to see another 34 GTR out there! Don't try to keep up with snowman tho, he's too fast!

snowman uses bonnet pins, most of us other guys have some steel cable in that plastic wrap under the bonnet with some clips... geoff made mine, roy made a bunch last time.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
