Just looking - that PIARC weekend in July also falls on the same weekend as the SAU (WRX) event at Winton. And that's the only visit to Winton we have for the year. So I'd suggest finding another date - even if it is early 08?

Bugger.

I am waiting for reply to my email sent to PI Sprint Sectretary yesterday to see if any other days or events or anything we may be able to work in with. What about L2S private practice days?

John,

PI is..... difficult to get. They have a lot of Bike ride days but other than the PIARC weekends (which usually is only 3-4 each year) there is no real track days at PI other than various club sprints. And even though everyone loves going to PI you will find most clubs will only go to PI once a year due to the costs involved. If you look at all the Vic club calanders there is hardly another track day down there for the whole year. But I also think the WRX Club who we run with were only granted one date this year even though they might have wanted to run a 2nd round.

Pretty much to hire out the track for a day will cost you around $20K for everything you need anyways. So then you need 100 people at $200 to break even. And THEN you will have the 75dB noise limit placed upon you as only the PIARC weekend have the 95dB limit granted to them.

As I said - PI is difficult.

Im told with the amount of bikes and testing that bikes and V8s do their...well club car days are not really on the radar like it is at other smaller curcuits. I have no wheard 3 people tell me that plans are a foot for F1 to be testing there...they just need ot modify their pits to accomodate. So im pretty sure McLaren will priority over us hacks. Farkin Alonso :)

Yuck cost more and harder to get to than Eastern Creek. Eastern Creek have HEAPS of track days at least one a month.

What was the track day you guys did at P I the Sat before Easter as not on their callender or are you guys special?

John - it was a club sprint day - run by the WRX Club.

OK so are there other days that we don't know about as I could nto see this on PI track website in callender of events section or am I stupid??

Yep John - that is only the events held by PIARC the club.

If you want to know when other clubs are holding events there the only option is to go to each club individually and find out if and when they are holding an event at PI.

I know there is an MSCA event (which you don't want to go to) and the PIARC weekend in July. I don't know of any other club events this year.

The clubs I would recommend going to a day with (WRX, Maserati, AROC, HSV and FPV) have all had their event at the Island for the year already.

OK and thought so and do you happen to know websites or I just search and find. Email me maybe Andrew if have any info. I am keen and lot of others to get to this track again later in the year for a big track day. You guys are so lucky to have this awesome track.

    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
    • I know right. It baffled me. There's no way when the engine is off, key is in ignition, (coils are dissconnected aswell), also my sound system was dissconnected (I don't run any audio capacitors), battery reads 12.2v and with the 10amp fuse blown I was measuring 24 to 30v. The reading would move a bit from 30v to 24v which was weird. I took a pic of the multi meter reading 🤣: (This is a brand new single channel digital oscilloscope that also has a multi meter mode).   Before when the fuse was blown, I had one lead on the 12v supply (green/white wires) of that brown relay and the other lead on the negative battery terminal. When I turned the key on ignition (engine off), it would read 30v. Then when I removed that relay from it's plug and tried putting ignition on again, it would read 12v, but I think it's because it can't turn on the ecu now that I removed it. I asked Chatgpt and this is what it had to say:   Not sure if those theories would be possible but, any auto sparkies here? welcome to confirm. 🤷‍♂️  No idea, but if it happens again, atleast I know what type of issue it is, unlike last few months where I didn't know what was causing all my issues and I was just taking stabs in the dark to figure out what type of problem it was. If it does happen again I'm going to investigate futher and trace back the source even more and inspect more circuits. I drove it to work this morning and the car drove and boosted fine. Yeah I was thinking the same, so I've imported my back up saved map (which is the map that I saved when it got done tuning) back onto my haltech with the base fuel pressure set to 43.5psi.
    • Yeh nice, if your in melbourne could you recommend any exhaust shops in the east that do a good job?
    • Sorry yes, this is what im after Also, that jpjdm site appears to be offline
