Can anyone one tell me how strick are WSID for the wednesday night off street meets?

like they say there is scrutineering of your car and that, i mean my car passed rego but its not all that legal - same as most of you i guess.

one major thing i was worried about was the exhaust noise, it says you cant have it louder than 98db. i dont know how loud mine is but when your wastgate dumps out a screamer pipe its certainly not elevator music!

so yeah just wondering if anyone had run their car in a wednesday night street meet ar WSID and could tell a bit about how it goes down

Cheers

lol true....but the fact is that no car with a turbo wheel stuck in the exhaust is anywhere near as noisy as an n/a car with a big exhaust :P

Have you seen anyone banned for breaking the noise limit?

Also 98 db is damn loud....and how far away is the testing point.....also I bet it is to the side of the track and not behind where the exhaust is pointing :)

Hmm .. heard the Pac MX6 lately? Last time the turbocharged Bavariacars sport sedan was testing at Eastern Creek we got pinged for 121 dB down the straight!

i think the 98bd regulation is for street meets only. not for pro drags like the mx6.

its one of those things to make sure your car is actually a street car.

I know mine is louder than 98db at the screamer pipe. no restiction just 45mm wastegate off the manifold to a 2" by 4" pipe. ooooh its soooo good. even makes the V8 drivers turn their heads.

WSID now don't even scrutineer clean looking street cars. A few officials stand at the front of the staging lanes. If you have a rotor / really modified car, they'll send you off to the scrutineering shed.

Otherwise, they just inspect your helmet and write the numbers on your car, and off you go into your lane.

A pretty good idea really :)

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
