Sounds okay, but at 225kms from home, I think I'll have to pass :(

About the same distance for me to Willowbank. Went once & they cancelled at last minute due to some clouds :verymad:.

All i have done is a new 3 inch, hi flow cat and some mandrel bends. (This had to be done as original looked like a piece of swiss cheese)

I dont know what Mr Miagyi did to it in Japan as now the fun begins to find out. I have only had it 3 months so looking to see what i can do to it?

Grabs tin opener & heads to the pantry to find that can of worms stashed in the back.

BTW, 14.1 is a great time for 'just an exhaust'. There's a good chance you'll find some other goodies when you start digging.

Was annoyed to miss out last week meeting up with those who went to WSID. So i ventured out this evening for my first ever run and the first in the " Black Hearse".

Run # 1. 14.8

Run # 2. 14.5

Run # 3. 14.3

Run # 4. 14.1

Pretty Happy!! :yes: hey great time, welcome to the 14.1 class, what was your 60" time

Hi Rudi,

60" time was 2.051.

At least it was pleasing to loose to a Skyline.

:action-smiley-069: waves goodbye to the Skyline as it runs a 11.8 @119mph. Great effort!!

Wow great 60' get that lower and your in the 13 sec. Was the skyline maroon colour?

Silver in colour. Pulse Racing sticker on rear window.

A few things i will do next time to maybe achieve that 13.

1. Not be so nervous as it was my first time at the drags.

2. Dont go out with a full tank of fuel (price rose 24 cents a litre that afternoon on way home) :stupid:

3. Go when it not the hottest day since winter. 5pm - 25c. 8.30pm - 19c.

4. Adjust tyre pressure?

5. Practice luanches. ( maybe when kids aren't in car) :whistling:

6. Get car tuned.

Thats why i was happy with a 14.127 @ 98.38 mph.

i dont think tyre pressure is an issue, the tracks to damn sticky anyways to get a good skid/launch :(

Terrible night over all, Rain stopped things for a while, shit box VL dropping oil twice and some other piece of crap dying at 3/4 track.

Best I could manage was 12.6 with a 1.9 60 foot and 185 kmh trap speed. Really struggling to get it off the line with the new clutch.

    • It's weird to me that you say this because I'm pretty sure locals with relatively standard standalone tunes (boost/barometric compensated alpha-N) still have driveability issues when they pop intercooler hoses. Maybe with enough data I can just train some kind of model that spits out an expected grams/cyl given every sensor input except MAF like what FCA did with their Pentastar 3.6 ECU logic. Basically stock everything. The main motivation honestly is to have a sensor that can be a decent baseline source of truth. In scenarios you're describing obviously it won't work every time but it seems to me the number of corner cases that exist in MAF load is maybe not as severe and difficult to manage vs ITB alpha-N with some MAP/barometric compensation.
    • What are your plans for your blow off valves? Purely plumb back? How soft will the spring in them be? AFM can be tricky to get super smooth and nice, especially depending on the rest of the system, and then can be very easily upset if something slightly changes. IE, even if you run recirc blow off valves, you could still see issues getting it to behave at certain load points as turbos might start to spool, but you release the throttle but it's not enough pressure to crack the bov open to recirc, and you can end up with reversion which can cause double metering, and hence dumping of fuel into the system, and stalling the engine.   If you're going to run a map sensor for closed loop boost control from the ECU, what makes you want to keep the AFM?    
    • It's not bad, it's just not flexible. And say if you have any leaks between the MAF and plenum, well then your load axis goes out the window. Here's a real world scenario, I blew off an intercooler hose last track day, as the clamp decided to Bluetooth itself somewhere. Still continued to do 2 laps and drive it to the pub for a couple of beers then home. Good luck doing that with a MAF setup 
    • Is MAF load really that bad? I'm not trying to do big power, my only real desire is VCAM and flex fuel support so I'm not terrified of blowing my engine apart from CA's appalling 95 RON "premium" fuel. Stuff like playing with closed loop boost control and really dialing in my transient fueling and ignition are frankly just to prove to myself I remembered something from uni.
    • Thats what ive been doing. Ive got a million questions but i know theyve probably all been answered before at some stage. Todays research included nismo heritage seat covers, s3 projector headlight retrofits and how to remove/paint the rocker covers
