Something i've heard via word of mouth... what's the status with this one?

I can't find anything about it on the rta or news websites...

True? False? In process? right-wing opinion? Someone smoking crack?

LOL, one day P-Platers may as well don't bother getting their licence.

It don't do anything to reduce the road toll like the government would like us to know.

Soon Red P Plates will only be allowed 3 cyl charades. laugh.gif

That's acctually not a bad idea, f**k off all the other bogus laws like speed limits for p platers, and this new stupid one and make them all drive small 3-4 cylinder cars

You only delay the inevitable - they will still be inexperienced when they do finally get to drive at those times.

And those that have permission to be out at those hours - shift workers, etc - will have the bejeeses harassed out of them by the police checking if they are allowed out during those hours.

Maybe if they taught people properly in the first place - now there's a novel idea!!

The red P law in WA is bull, I recently got onto my greens, and tbh I find myself in before 11. It's the freedom of knowing you can drive after 12 that people love.

All this talk about P platers should have 4 cyl cars is f****ing bull, I know a few people off their P's who shouldn't even be allowed a moped, and I also know P platers who have no problem controlling their cars.

Laws doesn't solve anything, education do help.

It's a case of nanny state going too far.

well, then i don't know where those dicks on red p's doing burnouts, and trying to drag me while i try to get home peacefully come from. because statistically, you are wrong.

maybe they think a soarer without eurolines is slow hey?

its weird because on ur L plates you're allowed to drive after midnight with supervision

but on your P plates you arent, even with supervision

.. makes no sense imo

You are also allowed to LEARN in a (turbo) Skyline - because a properly licensed driver is "in charge" of the vehicle. But who is "in control" of the vehicle? And to top it off, you technically can't drive the (turbo) Skyline home after you pass your test! WTF?

P-Platers are not Human Being their just statistics for scum Bureaucrats toabuse there power, they have no right to move freely in their vehicle they are only allowed public transport to further subsidies this goverment.

You are allowed to drive a turbo car in WA on your Ps, but not allowed to drive after midnight for the 1st 6 month...

Also I got my Skyline 2 weeks after I got my Ps :thumbsup:

But meh, since I got my full license I started to become one of the "old grumpy man" & don't really care about what is happening with the P-plater laws or what new stuff the government is trying to milk out of it.

      Borg Warner EFR Series Turbo's V 2.0

      What transmission are you running?  It's a bit tricky with the scaling, but at face value the power "curve" looks more like a "line" which is a bit odd... basically a lot more like a dyno plot I'd expect with a highish (compared to a factory auto) stall torque converter type setup. If this is running an auto then this kind of boost control challenge is definitely a thing, the rpm scale on the dyno doesn't reflect what the engine is actually doing (unless the dyno has access to the engine's ACTUAL speed electronically) and what you'll get is a big rpm flare up as the engine torque launches past the converter pump's ability to resist torque at that rpm, then as the converter starts picking up rpm it will kinda even out again and the engine rpm will pick up more steadily. The trick with this "flare up" is if it's kinda near the boost threshold for the turbo then the engine's airflow requirements to maintain the previous boost level will outrun the turbo's ability to supply that boost - so you end up with a natural flattening off, if not dip when that happens.   If you are running closed loop, or even tune the "feed forward" wastegate duty cycle to deal with that rpm spike then when the engine starts settling to a more typical climb you'll actually have a situation where the gate is "too closed" and boost will run away for a bit, then have to pull down again.      It's not trivial to get this perfect as most boost control systems are generally expecting more predictable engine rpm rates of change, but if you *know* that's whats going on then you can at least "accept your fate" and realise getting that area perfect is kinda chasing your tail a bit, and assume that if the rest is working sensibly and the spike/dip isn't completely uncontrolled then you should be good. Sorry if I've gone off on a tangent, but the dyno plot and boost control behaviour look a LOT like what I've seen tuning autos in the past. What ECU are you running? Could possibly be convinced into looking at logs if I get too bored this weekend haha.

      A few things that seem a bit off here. - why is there 2 BOV’s?  - the turbo smart BOV on the compressor housing, is it turned up ALL the way? I have seen this become an issue on old man Pete’s car. It would push open and recirc, turbo speed would rise and the boost pressure would do weird things. - stock head? Does that include springs? - tried a different MAC valve? Is it plumbed correctly?

      Photo of manifold showing gate location? I mean, it's 6Boost, so we probably shouldn't be worrying, but always wroth knowing what the layout is. Plumbed back to atmosphere? Or into the dump?

      Yes correct. Also, I'd avoid applying it to soft paint (however I doubt you'll ever have to deal with it in practice). So any paint that hasn't fully hardened, could be a 1k paint that never fully hardened or it could be a 2k paint that was laid down thick and hasn't yet fully hardened.
