I have a little problem.... My mate just bought a 2000 model R8 clubsport and is convinced it is faster then my R33 so we are taking them down to Calder to see for sure. The problem is i dont want to look like a fool if he destroys me.... any one have any ideas on how it will go?

here are the specs:

R33: series 1, lowered, air filter, exhaust system (3.5"), boost up to 12psi.

R8: Stock, 250Kw, Auto

I recon he is in trouble but want to get some opinions from people who have run against similar cars.

yeah..... i know and he even tries to tell me that the holden traction control button on his dash will work like a F1 launch control box...... i really have to beat this guy, i may just wind my boost up to 20psi for the 1/4 mile run and just pray that nothing explodes.....

The tests quoted by magazines are based on a g-tech so they are very optimistic

Dont Wheels and Motor use Correvit timing, i was under the impression that this is highly accurate, only they time the cars with half a tank and a passenger so typically carrying approx 100kg additional.

As for his car being quicker... dont worry. Look at it like i do.

Not many of my friends are into cars, but typically those that are all have quicker cars... I love it, they get to spend all their money on getting their cars going quickly, and i get free entertainment joyriding in them.

He drives a Commodoor does he? Mmmmm.....

Could you ask him (and say Rezz from Japan wants to know),

HOW THE F*CK DOES HE KNOW WANT AN F1 LAUNCH CONTROL BOX IS LIKE? :looney:

Good luck, I hope you beat him:D

I am feeling a bit more confident now.... i still think it will be close, but if i lose it wont be by much and i can still give him shit for paying $35g for a car thats just faster then my $14500 car that can go around corners as well as drive in a stright line.

Yep highly accurate for a Correvit timing run Not a real dragstrip. The times are always a little too generous.

Dont get me wrong i love the skylines, but the LS1 motors are very good and make impressive power outputs. With the computers now cracked, 230rwkw is not uncommon with just tune and exhaust mods to LS1. I know they are heavy lumps, but with the added power, they can be still quick. My mate has ran 13.1 in his VX SS, 6 speed with no internal mods.

But seeing as this ones an auto, the autos slow them down alot as they LS1 loves to rev, so the stock R8 being an auto, you should hand it too him. Good luck anyway!! Its all fun.

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Lithium · Posted

      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

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Lithium · Posted

      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.
