Thanks mate :) Yeah a bit of side by side fun would be good :cheers: First things first though I want to concentrate on getting some decent numbers.

Shaun will be doing a bit more tune work tomorrow (the CR allows more timing to be added) so a few more rwkw would be nice. If we can sort the boost drop issue (small but worth rectifing) before the nats that'd be nice too.

I guess I could go crazy with boost but to be honest I'd rather keep it closer to what I'll run on the street. I'm not out to set any records (don't have the power for that) Should be good fun :)

Hip,

Yeah a decent shock upgrade is in the pipeline (shocks are the only sus mod left to do).

Busky2k,

I'll be at the Nat's, but who cares about my car I want to see Munro & Keir running 8's

Matt,

Yeah mate nothing but good ol' as it comes out of the pump BP98. Hopefully later today we'll get to see how much more it can make 'safely' with more timing & a bit of octane boost.

We did another tune today. Added an extra 1' timing. Got a nice even 280rwkw on 1.3bar. The wastegate is creeping up top so it drops to ~1.1bar. After we sort out the actuator it should hold boost & make a few more kw up top. Dyno sheet to follow soon.

Only downside so far is that even when hot the RE540S's no longer maintain any traction ;) This on 1.1bar road tune. Haven't tried 1.3bar yet.

The LT12 handset is able to hold 4 maps, so they are set as follows:

1. 'Valet' - 3000rpm limit / 3500rpm cut

2. 1.1bar road tune

3. 1.3bar road tune

4. may become ELF LMS drag tune

All depends on the right foot mate. I got 260k's from 1/2 a tank during the mild post 1000k run-in tune. I'd be pretty happy with ~400k from a tank with mixed driving (cruise/WOT etc...) Heavy driving & I'd guess 200-250k? Can't have everything ;)

Once I've done a few k's I'll post a report on economy.

Very good question mate. Yeah I have had a stab at the average power (sydneykid style)

I know the power curve stops before 180km/h but I'm guessing that the power would drop at a similar rate hence I can estimate power at 180km/h mark (it should improve in this area once we get the boost to hold).

So based on the above my average power reads as follows:

3,600 - 213wkw

4,600 - 272rwkw

5,600 - 280rwkw

6,600 - 245rwkw (boost drop takes effect here - "should" improve with new actuator)

Average power ='s 252rwkw

EDIT: Given that my cams are still stock (so far :P ) I'm very happy the bulk of the power is btw 3,500 to 6,500. We all know rev's are far less kind on a motor than boost (providing the tuning is good).

A nice set of Tomei VCT friendly Poncams should just about do it.

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
