Was pretty good

I dig the decor too

Honestly knew nothing of him running a new one until he came up and said hi

This is because you're not on facebook and don't come to any events or track days...

Stock specs will be fine, if it's lower you'll have more camber but you only get half a degree of adjustment in the rear and none in the front so not like you can do anything about it. Getting toe right is the main thing so you're not chewing through tyres.

if you can would run a little more camber in the front just for handling.

but if stock you don't have much adjust ability

so camber front -1 rear -.5

maybe 1-2 mm tow in front just to have it turn a bit better.

rear fairly neutral

Big difference in drivetrain loss, if the article is unbiased (they are technically sponsored by holden) and lets assume the claimed flywheel figures weren't bs from the beginning.

So where's the loss coming from, do they have similar style drivetrains and transmissions?

At the end of the day, its a heap of power anyway... you're going to have a ball either way... But what happens when you swap an exhaust / intake and do a simple flash tune... Is one going to pick up 20kw and the other one going to pick up 100kw? If so, my choice is made right there...

I think bs flywheel figures is the crux of the article brah

    • I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive
    • Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?
    • This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.
    • I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
    • STOP GOOGLING FAB9 MAKE BORG WARNER EFR KITS FOR THE NC. THEY PACKAGE AN EFR 6758. DO NOTHING ELSE. CAPS INTENTIONAL. THE BEST RESPONSIVE SETUP EXISTS FOR YOUR CAR, AND HAS BEEN PROVEN FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW. IN B4 "BUT I WANT EVEN MORE RESPONSE, IN A SIMPLER, MORE RELIABLE PACKAGE" WHICH IS A LS.
