RB2600 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Richo, you are my hero. So many things to learn from this build! It's great, hopefully will learn a few more things from you when I get mine out on Sandown and Winton closer to end of year.

ssxRicho Posted August 16, 2013 Author Share Posted August 16, 2013 Looking at doing more running in September before WTAC. I've got a new turbo, which will boost power a little. But I'm umming and arrring around swapping the manifold out for a larger side mount, more so to help with EGT and keep everything happy.

Can't wait to see you attack Sydney Motorsports Park in October! I'll be there to cheer you on.Sad you couldn't make it to the MelbS15 track day, heard you had diff problems Anyways, I'm sure we will hit the track again soon!

ssxRicho Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 Yeh the diff ingested itself the weekend before the MelbS15 day. Was looking forward too it. More work on the car this weekend. Current turbo comes off and on with a new prototype from Hypergear. Which needs some additional pipe work etc, so will have to wait on that. We still need to finish the rear diffuser and brake ducts at the front of the car. Then get the front bar painted. For the moment, I think I'm going to stick with my brothers non ABS 1.5 way diff.

No Crust Racing Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Does the car have a flat under body? If not you need to be careful you aren't creating a parachute.

ssxRicho Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 Flat floor not allowed in regs. It wont be a parachute thats for sure. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/428535-richos-r33-gtst/page/9/#findComment-6985421 Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Crust Racing Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Are you going to pinch holes in the rear bar or banking on tucking it up super tight to the body? I'm interested in DIYing a rear to go with my front so I'll be interested to see how you tackle it. I can fit a flat floor though if I want as I'm just tooling around on club days.

ssxRicho Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 mmmm, work has been getting in the way... Car goes in for a tune next Wednesday. Doesn't look like I'll get any testing in beforehand. But the car is relatively setup, it's just the increased power factor.

ssxRicho Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share Posted October 3, 2013 I'll be there on the Thursday for sure. Another super response hypergear turbo.

ssxRicho Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 Update on the road to wtac. Trent put in a big effort to tune the car while getting thier car ready last week. This is hypergears latest highflow. its a stock 21U exhaust housing with an ss1 comp housing and some trick customised wheels. For something that cost under $900, its a good thing. it wants more boost, but my engine is tired and has stock valve springs. http://i636.photobucket.com/albums/uu82/ssxricho/3D8962FE-3331-4FF3-AE3B-51183C26E92E-1455-0000017E8079BFA5_zps26009329.jpg[\img] 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/428535-richos-r33-gtst/page/9/#findComment-7065451 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Good work! What is your best PI time? Do you agree with the theory that generally if you do a 1:42 at EC then you can do 1:43 at PI. Generally about the same or a second or so slower at PI?

ssxRicho Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 sob of a weekend. we kept blowing cooler pipes, constantly. got very few laps in, there is more in learning the track and setting the car up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oR57yy7SS0o in previous spec the car did a 47 around PI on ad08's. I'd expect a 43 in current trim and a 40 on a050's. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/428535-richos-r33-gtst/page/9/#findComment-7103940 Share on other sites More sharing options...
