so ive fitted a ally rad fmc and oilcooler with push fit pipes and a intercoolerand clipped and replaced most of the hoses in the engine bay

the intercooler mad the usual flat spot so i purchased a pfc and datalogit remapped it andsorted out .The oil cooler made a massive difference as the oil temp would be 105 degrees when being pushed no its max is 90 degrees so thums up to that

ive fitted a carbon splitter i made to the spec2 bumper as i dont like the aftermarket bumpers

got a spare engine which had lost compression so i stripped it to see what it was

3 pistons were shot but the bores were ok so sent everything off to get machined with new pistons and rods acl bearings ect and just got it all back

obviously looking to do some track work. what other plans for it, engine suspension brakes etc.

love the door trims..

ive just purchased a link g4 and a gt3071r my spare engine i have tomi pon b cams, suspension at the moment its cusco coil overs but for track there very under damped so i use a company called gaz do they are building me at set of coilovers that be weighted to the car and sprung correctly ! the car is built to fia standards which is basicly the British clubman race regulations but at the moment its just track use . I do all my own carbon work i have just made a bonnet to no pics as yet tho but i can do carbon infusion and wet lay so i have some fun with that

i feel a bit of a coward though as ive dropped the compression to 8.5.1 i here you boys run high with big horse power . Australia are alot more forward than us in tuning thats one of the reasons i went for the link and ditched the power fc plus i like mapping pressure verse rpm rather than maf verse rpm

Looking good mate! Love the carbon work, you got much more custom carbon stuff planned for it?

Thanks mate yes when i get there it will be doors front wings but it takes ages to build the molds to do them

    • I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility
    • 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.   
    • Here's the torque curves from the car I ramped boost up later in the rpm to allow a slightly wider useful power curve - the power curve is a bit weird shaped also thanks to the TVIS (or whatever they call it with the 4EFTE in this Starlet) which changes the volume of the intake manifold throughout the rpm range, but you can see that the green power curve actually holds later on with the extra boost... but looks almost more like the kind of thing you'd expect from a cam or exhaust change
