i'll be going on the friday and saturday. oh, hang on, we aren't talking Tokyo Autosalon, but the Sydney Autosalon. funnily enough I wont be going. been dissapointed so many times it's not funny. so I'm afraid I'll be giving it a wide birth. I may just feed $30 into a shredder instead, at least I wont have to drive anywhere to do that! man I'm a bitch, but seriously been let down badly before. :laugh:

Mate has his car in the mechanics and they are working frantically to have it ready in time to tow up from melbourne.

He wants to take the outright dyno crown just to annoy people lol. He has a holden/Isuzu rodeo V6 and if it all gets together in two days he might just win. He got an invite for winning the Melbourne round earlier in the year making from memory around 600rwkw.

Since then there has been some major hardware changes that will support enough power to break the record unless the engine breaks first haha.

He has 48 hours to wire in a new ecu, drop engine in and tune. Odds are against him to get there but if he does it will put on a good show.

    • What are your plans for your blow off valves? Purely plumb back? How soft will the spring in them be? AFM can be tricky to get super smooth and nice, especially depending on the rest of the system, and then can be very easily upset if something slightly changes. IE, even if you run recirc blow off valves, you could still see issues getting it to behave at certain load points as turbos might start to spool, but you release the throttle but it's not enough pressure to crack the bov open to recirc, and you can end up with reversion which can cause double metering, and hence dumping of fuel into the system, and stalling the engine.   If you're going to run a map sensor for closed loop boost control from the ECU, what makes you want to keep the AFM?    
    • It's not bad, it's just not flexible. And say if you have any leaks between the MAF and plenum, well then your load axis goes out the window. Here's a real world scenario, I blew off an intercooler hose last track day, as the clamp decided to Bluetooth itself somewhere. Still continued to do 2 laps and drive it to the pub for a couple of beers then home. Good luck doing that with a MAF setup 
    • Is MAF load really that bad? I'm not trying to do big power, my only real desire is VCAM and flex fuel support so I'm not terrified of blowing my engine apart from CA's appalling 95 RON "premium" fuel. Stuff like playing with closed loop boost control and really dialing in my transient fueling and ignition are frankly just to prove to myself I remembered something from uni.
    • Thats what ive been doing. Ive got a million questions but i know theyve probably all been answered before at some stage. Todays research included nismo heritage seat covers, s3 projector headlight retrofits and how to remove/paint the rocker covers
