Are you using a heatgun on the paint Aaron?

yeh you need one

Yes you will need to for sure. Rob did his with a roller and gun, plus some scotch.

Athid is a sure bet though, will be done perfect.

Athid is the bawwwss when it comes to guard rolling.

Yeh Athid was really good, he did my stagea. called him about a few cars though (mine and a e46) and he didnt want to touch them - for fair enough reasons, I wanted mine flared to all buggery which he didnt want to do because of the paint, and e46 guards are a pain in the ass and told me the guy will struggle to fit the wheels.

ended up buying a guard roller, and heat gun for what it wouldve cost, and did it myself. e46 guy was pulling himself, and alot of BMW owners started calling me offering $150 per guard!!

and I flared mine a shite load which I was happy with!

plus done a few guards now and the roller and gun payed themselves off = win for me

Yeh took me about 3-4 days about 2-3 hours each day to get them absolutely right!

Using di-grinders and everything to push out the inner guard. When he gets back from Miami I'll get some pictures..

But here's a pic of what he did to the e46 a few weeks back. So I sent him this

it's an external GPS receiver.

so much more accurate than the one in you phone.

you connect this to your phone via bluetooth and run software such as:

http://www.racechrono.com/

this is the most common one as it free.

then you can download track from their site, and you get trap points lap times and speed logged, which can be overlaid on your video similar to Richo or JP's

this is also how we give real vmax and such not relying on inaccurate speedos.

If I get addicted to Tracking after Sandown

I think I will look into highflowing my turbo, just so my old stock 160,000km turbo doesn't decide to shatter itself and take bits of the engine with it.

I'll keep the injectors stock so I can still compete in the 'standard' class :P

Should be good for 220-230rwkw and more reliable for the track

    • There is a LOT of stuff that can be done, it all depends on how much time and money you want to spend on doing in.  Not all ECUs will be able to do it, and the more control you need the more time and knowledge needs to be put into making it work.  If you're willing to spend the time and money and have the right hardware and skills involved there's a lot that can be done. 
    • 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.
