It was a good day, pretty happy with the 311rwkw :P just need to work out why when i turned the boost controller up the actual boost level went down :) Pretty sure im gonna have to go E85 some time soon as well :D

Yeah, major thanks to the Wests, who insisted the day go ahead, after the warning. The reason we had to close the door on the louder runs, is that if a second complaint was received, they could be issued with a on the spot fine of $60,000, which I can't believe a fine of that substance could be issued without evidence or proof of excessive noise, emissions etc.

Matt, I'll get in contact with Troy from Adelaide Tyrepower for you. Hit me up with a PM and send me your email address and I'll let you know how to redeem your prize!!

Daniel.

Ahh well at least they were decent about it and didn't decide to defect.

So props to the Sturt Police officers. :blink:

Its likely it was the few unit/houses across the road; one of the blokes has a really nice older ford from memory. Maybe he no likey the jap crap. :blink:

your joking?

ppl complained about noise,coming from a car workshop, on a saturday afternoon??

fck me, very sad.

This is Adelaide ... full of whingers! Whinge about the international airport noise, whinge about freeway traffic. Kinda obvious a performance workshop will have cars in it innit? :blink:

I can tell you now that the police couldn't really do dick. They'd be required to have an EPA rep come out to do the testing. Ambient vs omitted acoustic distrubance above the ambient noise of general traffic. Being on a main arterial road that'd be hard to prove. I think the complaint was more to do with so many imports and their owners in one place at the one time.

:blink:

for some stupid reason mine only made 66kw. Even last year made 85kw with a shocking missfire. No one new what was going on. Even ran in rwd for one and still the same. Strange.

id think you mean adelaide's full of OLD people. i hate old people.

they complain about nothing and cant drive for shit and then blame others for their shit driving skills when they cause a crash or run someone over.

but saying that, my nanna is a lead foot. she took my 32 to regency for me and wouldnt take no for an answer haha

pretty sure i saw some of you guys when i drove past on the way to mallala.

    • Means something is not set up right, tune/calibration related.  
    • Finally replaced the previous temporary mesh indicator surrounds (temporary was the last 10+ years 😂) with a 3D printed GTR style version for the front indicators. I think it looks a lot nicer than the old setup and at least the indicators now point in the correct direction rather than angled off. Needed a little bit of tweaking to deal with the intercooler piping but got there in the end. Old and new photos below. 
    • It's weird to me that you say this because I'm pretty sure locals with relatively standard standalone tunes (boost/barometric compensated alpha-N) still have driveability issues when they pop intercooler hoses. Maybe with enough data I can just train some kind of model that spits out an expected grams/cyl given every sensor input except MAF like what FCA did with their Pentastar 3.6 ECU logic. Basically stock everything. The main motivation honestly is to have a sensor that can be a decent baseline source of truth. In scenarios you're describing obviously it won't work every time but it seems to me the number of corner cases that exist in MAF load is maybe not as severe and difficult to manage vs ITB alpha-N with some MAP/barometric compensation.
    • 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
