Thats very tough :P What numbers did it put down in the end? When is this bad boy going to be making its debut?

Will post up a few more vids from the other day when we introduced a wet shot of NOS at SIKEM WREX RACING - spooled her up nice on the stall, still doing a little fine tunning , spose that never stops.

Should hit the track soon.

Here are a few pics of the Carbon Splitter / Fibreglass diffuser that John at STEANO - ROTA OZ can supply. It was easy to fit to the existing lip as the holes all line up well.

The product has a carbon lip - splitter and light weight glass diffuser that go's back under.

I was surprised at the quality and how light it was.

A BIG thanks John and the boys at .STEANO - ROTA OZ

hey Dave so what was the results from the sunday test and tune, i seen it run and was wondering the plans for the next event?

I came up to say hello a couple of times and check out the car but you were busy talking to others. I heard the bit about forgetting to use the nos on the first run and i assume you forgot to put it in 4wd for the last run? smoked up well though :) It seems to take a long time to spool up on the transbrake too, is there an issue or is it just the size of the turbo?

Who did the fibreglass doors and what are they worth?

cheers mate, im keen to see it at the next event.

1st pass was just a stage and drive away, the second pass was supposed to be a launch to 60ft but we forgot to open the nos bottle so no spool on the brake so we had to repeat it on the 3rd pass which was ok, 4th pass was supposed to be full pass but dave rolled thru the lights after they started the count down so it was a non event but it did launch pretty hard lifting the fronts. The final pass for the day you were right he forgot to switch the 4wd on so it just smoked hard 1st and 2nd. It was taking a long time to get on the stall which is probably my fault for setting the nos to activate at 95% + throttle but forgot to tell dave he had to have his foot on the floor. Dave was just taking it easy so didnt have his foot flat so nos wasnt activating. They let to many cars run on the day which was supposed to be a test and tune and half the cars and bikes there had run the previous night and were just out there to have some runs. At one stage we sat in the staging lanes for over 1 1/2 hours. Hopefully be back at the track soon to finish off licensing. We were happy with the car and dave is getting used to actually driving the car an getting into a routine.

Spot on Smiley - hey no biggy, it was TEST and TUNE and that we did. Felt great, launched straight with minimal torque steer so far and no major issues on the day.

Changed the flex plate today with a decent yella terra one so that will do the trick, fixed a little oil leak and a couple of other minor adjustments.

Overall i'm very happy with her first day out, big believer in taking it greasy at first to get a feel for it before going mental, like taking a woman out for the first time i suppose. :thumbsup:

Thanks for the team effort - "Smiley" DATSQIK HARDCORE JAP ENGINES - "TIMBO" SIKEM REX RACING and CLINT AND BELINDA.

congrats for the first 9 sec pass today and a 9.0 at that on a half pass isnt a bad effort at all :laugh: Pity i didnt come down, my old man came home and told me all about it as he said he was having a chat to you dave and smiley regarding a few things (he was crewing on the funny car team).

I cant wait to get out there as well, mines getting closer by the day :) hopefully the ppg box holds up.

Also that NPC clutch you sold me, was that just an off the shelf twin plate item with the different splines or a custom made unit? Im looking to order more clutch plates and want to get the same type as the thing drives soo nice yet handles a shitload of power :laugh:

    • How f**ked am i? what would happen if i leave the magnet inside there? 
    • I'll update you guys when i get home from work, im going to try to fish it out.  I just realized that i can't even drop the oil pan. The whole front diff and axles are connected to the oil pan... is it even possible to drop the oil pan without taking out the motor?  
    • So recently at the track had experienced a loss of throttle after a period of WOT after installing the emtron ecu, recently did some logging to troubleshoot the issue and found the ECU was cutting due to a low oil pressure issue. Going over the log can see that while accelerating at 4k rpm will see 100 PSI of pressure and holding steady at that level until getting off the throttle which then after can see as low as 25 PSI at 3-4k rpm and will recover back to a normal level after that.   Wondering if anyone has an idea what could be the cause as it just feels abit strange and i dont feel like it could be a sensor issues just due to it clearly sitting at a good pressure until off throttle, in the attached can see a 3rd and 4th gear pull but can even perform great through 3 and 4 gears of WOT but still once off throttle and getting back on it will see pressure drop.
    • There are a few different ways of doing it. I'm currently running two 1000cc pre-TB nozzles and PWM the pump for control. I'll be moving over to a constant pressure system and direct port. I'll run the pump off a regular relay, have it cycle on roughly 5psi before I start injecting to build pressure and then PWM a WMI solenoid (It's basically an injector that can take a lot of pressure and not corrode with water and meth.) The solenoid feeds the 6 direct port ~200cc nozzles. I'll also keep one ~250cc pre-TB nozzle to help keep IAT's in check.  Safety will be a little different as well. I used to use a pressure switch but will be moving over to a pressure sensor between my solenoid and nozzles. I'll trigger my solenoid and if I don't see specific pressure within a specific timeframe (e.g 100psi within a second, 175psi within 2 seconds), I kill it and revert back to non WMI maps the same way I did it before with 4D in Haltech. I was just figuring out the timers in my ecu last night. They made that a little more complicated than I would have liked... I wish Haltech offered a larger set of logic/math functions like other ecu's do. I can't do very much with just AND's and OR's.  I've been asked to do fuel/ignition mapping on a medium bore engine at work in May (192L V16). Being the only programmer in my region and having went and opened my mouth about knowing the ins and outs of fuel/ignition mapping, I have now been deemed an expert. Fun fun. The entirety of the logic and algorithms are programmed in C on a PLC. As I spend more time figuring it all out, I like what I see and eventually I may consider doing the same as a pet project to replace my ecu.   
    • This would be interesting, would you feed it via a 2nd row of injectors? Or just usual WMI nozzles?
