Hey guys,

I have the week off so I thought I might scope out some cruise spots that don't often come up in the forums. One such spot was a nice little place called Bundeena situated on the north eastern coast of the Royal National Park. This is a great spot, it has heaps of beachside parking and is right across the road from some small shops and cafe's that make some awesome fruit smoothies :P.

The cruise down was great through the national park, the roads are pretty good but you might have to watch out for wildlife (almost ran over a huge lizard, I think he would have made a bigger mess of my car than I would of him lol).

Oh yeah, and other forms of "wildlife" that seem to frequent the area...a.k.a, the 2 idiot SS drivers who almost had a head on with me while they were trying to over take a slower car while crossing double white lines. D*ckheads!

It would be great for a sunday arvo thing with maybe a BBQ and some swimming in the spectacular cove of bundeena with some of the blue'est water I've ever seen (great for about Dec/Jan when it really starts to heat up). There are heaps of good photo opportunities as well...(sorry about the quality, my digi camera's batteries died so I had to use my 2.0mega pixile phone lol)

These were taken at about 11am on the Bundeena pier, easily accessable buy cars. I'd say the background would be even better at about 5pm with a summer sunset.

So guys, if your looking for a nice cruise destination that you don't have to go interstate for, this IS a place that would rival the likes of the Sunday arvo Spit meets at Surface Paradise in Qld.

Word on the street is, that it has a good gearbox :P

Sorry I forgot to tell you, that you are banned from coming over..

I know where you live buddy! I can get in there too!!!! There's holes in the fence you know!

Im actually out Penrith way, I absolutely SUCK with directions outside of Penrith - Mt Druitt area so im always too paranoid to venture out to cruise to places like this but my GF is buying me a GPS for Christmas so I wanna find some nice places to cruise too.

Ahh from penrith..

Well perhaps 1.5hours max to bundenna, if traffic is all good..

think you catch m5?? get off at auburn, come down all the way to bankstown.. keep going.. hit alfords point road..

then go on bangor bypass, or keep going straight and hit heatcote road..

few ways you can get to bundenna

But yea best to look at the map :mellow:

^ from CBD?

perhaps 35-45mins max.. depends on traffic and which way you come..

Probably a touch longer. From the CDB to my house would be about half an hour. From there it would be minimum half to get there I would think?

I'd allow around an hour or a touch more to be on the safe side :P

      But we haven't even gotten to the point of talking about stateless controllers or any of the good stuff yet!

      You guys need to take this discussion to another thread if you want to continue it, most of the last 2 pages has nothing to do with OP's questions and situation

      And this, is just ONE major issue for closed loop control, particularly using PID. One such issue that is created right here, is integrator wind up. But you know GTSBoy, "it's just a simple PID controller"...

      Nah. For something like boost control I wouldn't start my design with PID. I'd go with something that originates in the fuzzy logic world and use an emergency function or similar concept. PID can and does work, but at its fundamental level it is not suited to quick action. I'd be reasonably sure that the Profecs et al all transitioned to a fuzzy algorithm back in the 90s. Keep in mind also that where and when I have previously talked about using a Profec, I'm usually talking about only doing an open loop system anyway. All this talk of PID and other algorithms only comes into play when you're talking closed loop boost control, and in the context of what the OP needs and wants, we're probably actually in the realm of open loop anyway. Closed loop boost control has always bothered me, because if you sense the process value (ie the boost measurement that you want to control) in the plenum (after the throttle), then boost control to achieve a target is only desirable at WOT. When you are not WOT, you do not want the the boost to be as high as it can be (ie 100% of target). That's why you do not have the throttle at WO. You're attempting to not go as fast as you can. If the process variable is measured upstream of the throttle (ie in an RB26 plenum, or the cold side pipework in others) then yeah, sure, run the boost controller closed loop to hit a target boost there, and then the throttle does what it is supposed to do. Just for utter clarity.... an old Profec B Spec II (or whatever it is called, and I've got one, and I never look at it, so I can't remember!) and similar might have a MAP sensor, and it might show you the actual boost in the plenum (when the MAP sensor is connected to the plenum) but it does not use that value to decide what it is doing to control the boost, except to control the gating effect (where it stops holding the gate closed on the boost ramp). It's not closed loop at all. Once the gate is released, it's just the solenoid flailing away at whatever duty cycle was configured when it was set up. I'm sure that there are many people who do not understand the above points and wonder wtf is going on.

      This has clearly gone off on quite a tangent but the suggestion was "go standalone because you probably aren't going to stop at just exhaust + a mild tune and manual boost controller", not "buy a standalone purely for a boost controller". If the scope does in fact stop creeping at an EBC then sure, buy an EVC7 or Profec or whatever else people like to run and stop there. And I have yet to see any kind of aftermarket boost control that is more complicated than a PID controller with some accounting for edge cases. Control system theory is an incredibly vast field yet somehow we always end up back at some variant of a PID controller, maybe with some work done to linearize things. I have done quite a lot, but I don't care to indulge in those pissing matches, hence posting primary sources. I deal with people quite frequently that scream and shout about how their opinion matters more because they've shipped more x or y, it doesn't change the reality of the data they're trying to disagree with. Arguing that the source material is wrong is an entirely separate point and while my experience obviously doesn't matter here I've rarely seen factory service manuals be incorrect about something. It's not some random poorly documented internal software tool that is constantly being patched to barely work. It's also not that hard to just read the Japanese and double check translations either. Especially in automotive parts most of it is loanwords anyways.
