Okay guys n gals, some of you may or may not know about the weekly thursday night meet/cruise to the coast. For those of you who

dont know, just click here or here for a full explanation. Basically we meet at the truckstop at berowra around 7.30pm, and aim for an

8pm departure. You can take the regular highway or go up the old road, its up to you. For the stagea owners who do know about this

weekly cruise, WHERE ARE YOU? I want to seriously get some major stagea representation up there! If you have any questions just

post in the thread or send me a PM i'll be glad to try answer any questions you might have.

If anyone is a little unsure of how to get to the truck stop i'd be more than happy to meet somewhere close on the way, i live in the

hills area. No excuses people, i want to see more stageas up there cos its currently only Nick and myself and we both want that to

change!

Hope to see some more of you up there over the coming weeks.

BTW - all are welcome to attend our Dyno Day coming up on November 15th at Unique Autosports, and SAU-NSW has its Christmas Cruise coming up too on December 13th for Members only (join if you haven't already!!!)

so i got stuck in the lane cove road/ryde road carpark (some accident caused the road to be blocked) and got there after 8.30 :)

sorry guys!! i cruised up the highway thinking id see you up there, but decided to head home.

    • Can you log IAT? Whilst WTA coolers have their place, doing any sort of sustained run is not one of them There are fixes that slow down the heat soak, like ice boxes, which don't last that long, and interchillers, which are fairly expensive, up grades to the WTA cooling radiator, which may require a bigger pump, and upgrades to the reservoir size,  and upgrades to the cooling fans, but, it all still heat soaks, and takes ages to come down in hot weather  For a turbo, that isn't locked into WTA like my PD blower is, can you not possibly swap to a nice air to air intercooler????, it would be better for sustained runs then, and have alot less things that could go wrong in my opinion 
    • So, the other thing I've sorted is a baseline dyno run up at Unigroup's new location. The auto trans was a little unco-operative by both shifting down when the throttle was floored on the dyno (so Mark had to ramp it up more slowly than in a manual) and also by shifting up at 6,000 even in sports mode instead of the indicated redline of 7,000 Still, on a hot day it made 240rwkw at 16psi which seems about right for 300kw (400hp) through an auto at the wheels.  The shape of the curve is not quite right because it was not full throttle to about 4,500 to stop it kicking down, but until I can get a tune on the auto trans control this was the best we could do.....full boost will be well below 5,000 once that is sorted, I'll get some data logs when I can to confirm For comparison, the R32 made 255 at 12psi (at 4,500) on the same dyno with tune, n1 turbos, cam gears, big exhaust but otherwise all standard so the v37 is likely a little better out of the box. One thing that is very clear is that the standard water to air intercoolers are not up to sustained use at full throttle in warm ambient temps. After about 5 runs (so only a few minutes full throttle), it was pulling boost and timing and dropping 10-15% power. Unfortunately I didn't get that printout and the Unigroup guys are away at the moment, will try and get hold of it on their return. So, looks like a healthy engine to start modifying and the only real area of concern is the w2a heat exchangers which the aftermarket has plenty of solutions for    
    • I maintain it actually looked really nice in person. So much so that I thought "No, this is illegal" but there it was, clear as day. I think we can easily call the wing and wheels/height to be transformative. Not saying it's better than the GR Whatever, or the 86, or the WRX STI or anything of that sort (the internet says it all bolts up so you can buy best of all worlds?) but it's still at least a thing and not nearly AS bad as people say.
    • That's less offensive than the previous gen.....except for all that ugly black tupperware around the edges. Blerck!
    • I leant out the window recently and took a picture of this new WRX. It looked real damn fine in person. It's faster around a track (stock) than a (stock) GR Yaris. It's much more practical despite being heavier. It's significantly cheaper. This gen tunes really well, much better than others. .... I think they're probably a lot better than people expect.
