Well my first time back at wsid in about 8mths with high hopes and that's where it ended. My car is now running better than ever and once again I still couldn't grab a decent time, I feel like headbutting a brick wall :(

I did manage to get a new PB but only by literally a bee's dick.

1. 14.489 @ 94.84mph / 2.190sec

It felt nice and smooth, launch was the usual but for some reason I was -way- down on mph, I didn't even miss a gear :D

2. 15.265 @ 100.23mph / 2.737sec

First run after a 30min rain period. Absolutely no grip on the greazy track and simply bagged em up!

3. 14.145 @ 102.07mph / 2.167sec (<- new PB)

Tried to slam the gears harder, felt smooth once again and managed to get a new PB (old PB was 14.163 @ 100.20mph / 2.148sec).

4. 14.252 @ 100.87mph / 2.166sec

Once again was trying to work the gears hard but was slightly slower even though it felt just as good *shrugs*

5. 14.571 @ 98.02mph / 2.184sec

Used low boost this time (7psi) just for shits n giggles (even though high boost is only about 8-9psi haha).

As you can see my launches are pretty much spot on everytime (even though 2.1xx sec is not overly impressive atleast it's consistent). Sure I could grab some semi-slicks or even drag nitto's etc and probably shave off a tenth or 2 but I shouldn't need to when i'm making a solid 195+ rwkw. I'm a good 0.5sec off the pace of where I believe I should be (and the times others are doing in similar powered cars) and im stumped as to what it is (obviously it's the driver).

Was a great nite of racing (besides the rain periods). Some awesome cars about and probably the biggest meeting i've seen in a good 5-6mths. Wish I left my car in the carpark and spectated instead.

i only ended up getting 240RWKW

need to lower compression gonna get a steal head gasget, that will bring her up to the 290 mark.

im gonna buy some slicks soon, just gotta find out how to fit them without removing the brakes, 16" is the only size that can go on.

Sorry mate as I've said several times in the past the 20g wont flow enough to make 290 its impossible, maybe some decent drag radials would be better then slicks as then you don't have to worry about the added cost of front runners

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
