Car looked mean with the green :Pimp2:  

Hey Stuart is it just me or does the car seem to go better when your behind the wheel???

BOSS OF BASKY, Mark??? :matrix:  

Congrats ont he title Mark, was good to watch a Liner tear it up against the rest of the rubbish that was out there on the track (must of been embarrassing for them really to go up against such a fine/prestige motor vehicle) :uh-huh:

Thanks, I am giving Benno and boys a hard time about my win as Benno couldn't beat some bucket of puss Torana last season and kept telling everyone how good he is.

On the perception of car speed, you have obviously been misled by the Benno self publicity machine! He never tells anyone that he didn't have to race outright against the quick cars like myself previously, taking the soft option of Group B(which he didn't win) and that he got Andrew Kuc to give him an extra 30kw at the wheels as well just to make sure.

Two important facts that the world needs to know!!

I managed a 61.2 last Sunday and my total race times were over 5 seconds faster, which is faster than the Blonde Boy Wonder has gone around there in anything!! Not bad seeing I was lying in bed with a broken neck this time last year after our crash in Targa (Benno loves it when I talk about the neck!!)

He might be quicker, who knows. We'll find out when/if he brings the GTR out to play??

In the meantime, 2-1st's, 3-2nd's, 2-3rd's and a 4th from 8 starts means that I'm the Boss of Targa Class and I had to beat much better cars than Benno has ever raced against.

Lastly, I'm also leading the CAMS State Series for Targa Cars by 5 points from not one but two Porsche's!! Go the Skyline, complete with tiny RB20 running a meagre 170kw at the wheels!!

Good luck this weekend Benno, please don't crash

How did you go??

Benno went pretty good for a first up. Was running 5th before a minor off caused some intercooler problems putting them out. Ran at a good pace yesterday annd made sure that the Skyline Brigade was well represented.

He's back tomorrow so no doubt will post a full report in the coming days for anyone who's interested.

The sad news is the Skyline `Reign of Terror' came to an end and Porsche are back in town, at least until next we meet at Rally Tas 2006!!

look forward to hearing about it.

sounds like Ben was going well pity htey had to retire

We were seeded 18th for Leg One, on the first stage we ran the 8th quickest time, then that again on the next. Without actually knowing where we sat I pushed on and we got a bit quicker with consistently running the 5th quickest times. I was surprised by this at lunch and would have been happy to maintain the pace, which we did for the rest of the afternoon until a Left 2 that went from dry to damp to wet bought me undone. I couldn't grab the rear in time and we went around, but the time we stopped I had washed off most of the speed and just touched the dirt bank at no more than 5-6k's. That was enough to bust the headlight on the right side and push the bumper back enough to pull the intercooler hose off and strip the thread on the hose clamp. We went back continued on to service (at the end of the stage) but found the only way to fix it was to pull the bumper off. By the time we had fixed the clamp and re-installed the bumper we were out of service and late time so withdrew from the day and transported back to Burnie.

We restarted the next day seeded 9th but with knackered brakes so used the day as practice. Not sure how our times looked for that day, but they would have been well of, we were loosing at least 1-1.5sec a corner, but it was fun.

Have now organised some bigger front brakes and better intercooler hose clamps so can't wait for Rally Tasmania in Feb. I'll run it in the Minna Rd and Domain Hillclimbs between there and now and maybe a round of the Octagon Series.

In responce to 26motorsports's claims.....

Its true, I mean how could the an R32 GTSt 1200kg/199kws beat a Holden Torana with a 6 litre engine producing 350kw (at the wheels), but of course it did, repeatedly, particularly the longer 15 lap races, three out of four from memory... Perhaps not in outright speed, but by the rules of the game!

Contrary to what Mark says, I did in fact win the TDRC Octagon Series - Targa Tasmania Group B, ask Jim Richards…. he was at the dinner and presented me with the trophy from memory!!.... big golen cup, perhaps 26motorsport is talking about the glass trophies?! (have got a couple of those from the rounds too!!)

The car had 199kws when I had, and that was just with some new spark plugs!…. It even had that when I gave it back…who knows that you have done to it since then, oh that’s right, you striped a heap more weight out of the car, that’s probably why its going faster!!

To settle this once and for all I think we need the Benno v Perrywinkle Battle!!

Ps. I went around Basky with a .59 in a GT3….. sorry, did I have to be driving it?!!

Pps. Where were Whitey, Laws, PJ, Keytesie and Greg in the points score when you won Boss of Baskerville again?.... sorry, but did they even enter?

;)

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • 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.
