Hey Team,

Videos are finally up on youtube!

Yes, there are 2 of your RX7 I'm pretty sure

Well done with the vids! Pity there weren't many wet vids for the arvo, that was some mad stuff out there!!

Alright ladies and skirts, how the hell did I manage to punch out 8th quickest entrant on one of the morning courses out of 34 entrants INCLUDING Reece, and I was driving a HSV VN oil leakin', rod knocking, 277,000km auto v6 single legger!

You kids need to try harder!!!

Edited Matt!

Lol! Must be the driver..............cos the car is shite!

The PA system I put in adds 120HP too. :action-smiley-069:

Thanx man. Yeah I was torn between not wanting to be in the rain and wanting to get some wet vids hehe.

Was gonna film from the car but wet windscreen and nowhere to park close to the action makes life difficult for filming.

I'd rather be dry too!

Nice work with the camera setups Ben,

pity my car is better to drive in the wet than in the dry, ATTESSA goes silly with the tight turns on dry tarmac lol.

Sloane had the right idea when he switched to RWD in the dry!, then back to AWD in the wet :whistling:

The water added another 100HP too!

Once it was wet it epically went to redline so quickly! LOL

Thanks again man!

No probs, it was so funny to watch, and looked quite competitive at times :whistling:

It's back to daily duties, no probs :)

It was competitive really, 8th fastest in one of the morning courses!

And pretty sure I didn't lose many battles in the arvo!

I would have been quicker in the Go To Whoa if it weren't for the fact I was driving it like a boat ie "All Anchors or No Anchors" LOL

What do you mean 2nd? Looks like he's got the fastest time on each leg in a certain white "mono-whale"

It was all the car Eric :D

Its good your car was so fast cause I was having to much fun sliding around after that. Apparently if I didn't stuff up the last part of the second course in the Evo, it would of had your car. Damn cheater evos. Also the times for the Chaser in the first course was 26.3 and in the Go-To-Whoa was 8.4.

Big thanks to everyone who let me drive their car (Buzz, Ben, Dave, Eric and especially Adrian and Nim considering they weren't driving) I hope they had at least half as much fun as I did

I REALLY want my car back now :)

P.S. Best part of the day was the Tandem Drift Eiji and I did in the S13 and S15. Biggest smile of the day :whistling:

I tried timing once and lost to you reece by 1 sec on mornin course 2.. it has inspired me to use good rubber and try and do times in the champ series next year.. Im hopeful of winning now lol

My diff is having a heart attack after trying to drift on 265 semis lol.. time for a 2 way for texi next year..

Oh and reece, adrians clutch is dead now lol good work!! told ya s15's suck! 34 powa!

    • Driveability will be about the same with either externally venting BOV, or no BOV at all. Perhaps worse one way than the other, with me thinking that the definitely more flow going through the AFM through a venting BOV more likely to cause rich stalls than the perhaps more flow that the AFM might read on reversion. There is no such thing as "turbo damage" from not having a BOV at stock, or even quite a lot higher than stock, power levels. You need a big turbo with a lot of mass spinning hard getting a horrible slowdown from a slammed shut throttle before there is anything like the shaft loads required to damage things. Not an issue on small turbos. The ONLY 2 reasons that Nissan put a recirc valve onto the RB were: It is a bypass valve. It is open when under vacuum. When not on boost, it bypasses intake air forward around the compressor, which unloads the compressor, allowing the turbine to sping more freely, making the whole lot a bit more efficient when just puddling around. Throttle response should also be faster via the shorter, smaller diameter BOV pipe (when in NA, ie before the BOV closes and boost is building) which is nicer for driveability. Emissions. The reversion causes CO pulses. Eliminate the reversion (or at least, keep it away from the AFM) and you don't get that. The stalling/driveability aspect could have been tuned around, as shown one example of by dose above, if Nissan hadn't put a recirc valve on. Many many turbo engines before the RB had no BOV. They did not stall. See the RB30 turbo as an example. Nistune is definitely better than just stock ECU. It allows you to access and change things that are not excellent on the stock setup, and allows you to do mods like put decent injectors in, relocate the AFM, put a bigger turbo or even cams, etc, on, change to coil swith completely different swell needs, etc etc. All the things that you might need or want to do 25 years after the car was new. Aftermarket replacement ECU is obviously better again, because it gives you even more freedom from the constraints of the stock ECU. I won't be needing to go any further than Nistune though, for the new turbo in the 250ish rwkW region I'm going to, with big injectors, and most other things being stockish.
    • Lucky the prp block is supposed to be released next weekend 
    • Wow guys thank you very much for the HUGE info :-) @GTSBoy I have like 30 minutes if test drive with that car/engine and it not stalled once. IMO it ran very smooth so i guess it was not that bad(but asi i said it is stock) That atmo BoV is worse than no BoV or in my case or it is/will be the same? Cuz frankly i rather have little whooosh sound than that sututu 馃槃 But either way the less harmfull for engine/turbo the better(if the stock is not an option right away) Yeah about that rebuild i talk with guy who will be doing swap and custom pipes...i think i can get stock BoV or get aftermarket which will function the same. Yeah i looked at that R35 option and i try ask my mechanic more about that if he knows. The engine has stock ECU but i can get Nistune for it. On that stock it runs quite well...but i have limited time with it so rly dont know. Ecumaster is this https://www.ecumaster.com/  It is not some dodgy backyard ECU :-)  @MBS206 Yeah but it will be better to have Nistune than the completely stock ECU no? About that "same" atmo/no BoV. The drivebility would be the same? I dont know but i kinda guess that amto BoV would cause more problems than no BoV in my case? Or is the same? You just "change" one sound for the other? Yeah i read many many many topic about hurting the turbo. But no one know anybody that would 100% tell that his turbo/engine blows/get damaged by not running BoV. Of course turbo would be little happier IMO if it has BoV ..but if you do not trash i think i should be good. And as you can see iam already trying to get this right...just working what i have right now :-) Yeah iam kinda the same...i dont want nothing loud and frankly iam not liking that sututu noise that much 馃槃 i rather have little bit of "whooosh" or no sound at all. Of course in my case it si a completely another world when you came tu Turbo car with open air box and no BoV and you driving the N/A ...all i hear is engine. Here? I heard turbo/sucking and that sututu 馃槃 @Yeetus So in my case it is really no difference to run no BoV or some atmo BoV like GReddy FV2? The car would drive the same and has "the same" little problems? As i wrote above i kinda thinked that atmo BoV with stock MAF would cause more problems...but then again i dont know much about no BoV either :-)  So to avoid stalling i "cant" just put neutral on stop lights like from higher rpm? Or? Yeah iam already looking for ECU :-)  Yes iam at the same side with thar R35 MAF :-)  @Dose Pipe Sutututu Thank you i (my mechanic/tuner) will look into that) Guess iam taking the Nistune at least :-) 
    • Here's the workaround with Nistune I was talking about, just add in more timing on the decel table And play around with the fuel cut & recovery, it's enough to stop it from stalling on a decel
