Spotted a Stagea STR-86T (Goldzilla?) parked on Metella Rd, Toongabbie and almost immediately afterwards spotted black R33 ZJB-*** on Cornelia Rd. Both just before 8pm tonight

Yep, that's me! Went to see a family friend there. Didn't want to leave it on the street, but there was no room in their driveway...

Yep thats Nick

Oh yeah, Steve-O and I spotted a maroon R33 parked at Castle Hill Tavern today around lunch time. I parked next to it, so I'm guessing he/she saw the SAU stickers if they're not already aware of these forums...

I hope you mean with your headlights :P

I did it with my one-eyed monster

....

(one of my hi beams is not working)

Did she flash you back?

No she gave me a smile and that was good enough :rofl:

Spotted white r32 GTST random plates.

I've spotted her before. Youngish blonde chicky.

Never lets me in. Never waves. Never looks twice.

tsk tsk....some people are just plain grumpy arent they??.

what's with the no wave??.

i always wave.

Spotted gunmetal S1 Mspec kitted r33 with GTR wing, lowered and angled exhaust going on princess hwy to wollongong. BLO 11N i think were the plates?

I was in the black GTT :) Nice car buddy, you must have a few goodies under that bonnet ie piggyback or aftermarket ecu, more boost etc :no:

Hey, Eskimos don't come from Delhi! hehe

Don't make fun of my Eskimo culture or my Eskimo mafia mates will come and steal all your ice from your house and then you will have no ice left to fill your drinks and we will laugh at you pointing our fingers coz we have all the ice. HA HA HA

:ninja: Sorry, I'm a bit drunk :P

    • I thought the problem with doing this is the engine needs more timing and therefore is actually less efficient? Modern engines need very little timing to get to MBT, those super sharp edges on the squish pads are probably not the right way to get there but doing away with it entirely doesn't sound right either.
    • this explains the possibility of several maps with different boost levels
    • ok, I understand much better how we can control the boost and increase the number of psi before opening the wastegate
    • Well.... yes and perhaps no. It depends on what you mean by "spool". For most of us, the point that we would describe as where the turbo is "spooling" is the point where the wheel speed gets high enough for it to start making some boost. This is coincidentally around about the point where it starts making noise - hence the "spooling" sound. If that is what you mean, then no - the wastegate should still be shut at this point. The boost will still be way below the point where it should start opening. If, on the other hand, you mean "spool" as "reach full boost", then yes. At the point where the boost has reached target, then boost control has already started. The wastegate is already open, and has been for some time. Some short time, definitely, but still, some time. If you have no boost controller - just the wastegate actuator connected to the boost source, then you have a mechanical system working as a pressure balance. There is pressure on one side of the wastegate actuator's diaphragm from the spring, and pressure on the other side coming from the boost measurement location (the "source"). This is not a digital thing. The wastegate does not stay shut until the boost pressure reaches the spring "pressure". The spring will start to compress as soon as you start to apply any pressure onto it. This can be controlled somewhat by adding pre-load into the spring, but you cannot add enough preload to make it into a digital switch behaviour. The wastegate will crack open and start to leak exhaust out (and therefore not though the turbine) well before you reach the target boost pressure. Electronic (and some mechanical/pneumatic) boost controllers will act to prevent the boost source applying pressure to the actuator until just before you reach target boost, thus preventing the wastegate from creeping open. And some boost controllers will apply boost pressure on the spring side to further push it shut. And this can be be necessary because the exhaust pressure in the manifold also pushes on the wastegate valve and tries to open it and you cab get it leaking even without it being connected to the boost source.
    • A stand alone boost controller will not give you the control you need, unlike a modern ECU. Your boost will always naturally target the wastegate's opening pressure first, your controller then will allow you to add more boost as required.
