Tarmac Rallying Perpetual Thread


Recommended Posts

my $10/l E85 is looking pretty cheap about now.

E85 guys will need a fill on the arrowsmith start and finish line.

There's a few 98 guys that will be doing the same I'm sure! (I'm one! LOL).

we're planning on filling dad in queenstown, and just after arrowsmith.

Anyone know if the moron in Roseberry is closing his BP for Targa again?

Ah - that would ruin some plans I have! LOL

Is it that badly tuned (or that illegal) that it needs that much fuel? :ermm:

Haha - no. But its what? 61 hard kms to Mt Arrowsmith - 56kms in the stage - and then around 100kms to the refill point at lunch.

So Ideally I'd fill up once half way through Arrowsmith! LOL But TO BE SAFE I'm going to want 20L before and 20L after (although 20L in Queenstown will work just as well).

you planning to fill at Roseberry? The guy hates Targa, and closes every year just to protest it.

Good to know! Will make other plans! LOL (This shite NEEDS to be the event guide Stu!)

The funny thing is the guy could double his 98 sales in one day for the whole year if he stayed open! LOL

other side of queenstown wouldn't be a problem for us, it's not much ferther up the road. Dad hasn't done any fuel burn tests with the 700cc injectors yet, so we have no idea of fuel consumption.

If you fill between Queenstown and Arrowsmith you'll be stuck in there until road re-opens Ben. That's why most fill before Queenstown, then diverts around the back to Hobart. Not the end of the world if you plan on being right down the back with Jim and YT though :ermm:

0.6/l is pretty eficient, last year we wored on 1/l km compeditive for the big stages with lots of WOT

Well I don't have a 56.6L tank so it better not be 1L/km or else I'm not getting through Arrowsmith! LOL

Stop worrying, you'll be fine. We pissed it in when we ran the 34. Yours will be tuned leaner than ours was, AND you'll be off the throttle more, because, well, you're a pussy. :)

But it's a family spec R34, with DVD player, kids and a dog in the back.

See how cocky I am when I'm not competing this year. :)

Ten bucks says we can beat your time over Arrowsmith in our borrowed STi Snowy :)

You going to join the service crew race though the stage :)

Yep in the ML55 (hard life aye), the cops love sitzing at service crew, when i came off in 08 a 70 series cruiser came screaming round the corner to find a tow truck accross the road. He locked all 4 up, and the she cop when off her tits.

    • There is a LOT of stuff that can be done, it all depends on how much time and money you want to spend on doing in.  Not all ECUs will be able to do it, and the more control you need the more time and knowledge needs to be put into making it work.  If you're willing to spend the time and money and have the right hardware and skills involved there's a lot that can be done. 
    • I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility
    • Correct.  In the case of the 500kw dyno plot I showed you the car actually runs two boost control solenoids for boost control and a 5psi wastegate spring.  It allows me to control how much boost pressure is applied to both sides of the wastegate valve at any point and fairly accurately control boost target as a result. I've tuned it so that it's able to target anywhere from 5psi to 25psi depending on what's needed.  The target tables I've set up in that car are Gear vs RPM, so every gear has potential for a different boost (and torque) curve.   First and second gear have quite low boost targets, third gear actually has different target boost all the way through the rpm range as it's a stock RB25 gearbox - the boost targets have been chosen to maintain a peak of 600nm (what the owner has set as the maximum torque he's happy with putting through the stock 3rd gear) but it carries that to the rev limiter.   The boost curve to achieve that is something of a ramp up, then hold, then ramp up again and the power curve looks more like a flat line haha.  
    • so you can decrease or increase the boost depending on the diet as you wish?     by acting on the wastegate?
    • That's torque and power, it's all from a single run.  The boost curve is "held back" from it's peak target in the 3500rpm to 5000rpm range from memory, so it ramps hard to something like 18psi then climbs more progressively to 23psi nearer 5000rpm.   It makes the torque (and power) ramp more "natural" and less hard on parts and traction, it doesn't feel artificially held back.
