Hey

Yeah ill be there ! 

Hussling hard now to get seat time and make car all good  see if can get some early track time over east

🤞

Itd be really nice to have some luck 😁

Nice! I hope it all works out. At least now you know the track as well and can build from last year. Looking forward to see your car in action again.

You know it's cold when even the Tasmanian's are rugged up!

Can't wait to see the pictures of the next step.

Its was definitely cold 🥶  us w.a people dont take too well to it

 

We even took to doing 2 warm up laps to get to the tyre temp we wanted 

 

Update for those that want a read

A week before Aus Time Attack in Vic did a prac day got few laps then carbon bonnet decided to fold on itself whether it too much air under the lip, a pin failure or just pin not cliped in it happened... got fab guy to plate it 2mm ally each side and wrapped it. 15kg heaver but solid and mad max ready to race

 

Greg from Sydney Comp having a new carbon bonnet ready for us for WTAC

 

Off to Aus Time Attack at Winton for first time another 3.5 day all day drive

 

 

Did pretty decent with 4th in Open class and 6th outright with 1.24 flat

Way more in it I was just too inconsistent to extract a quicker time without more track time and by the time I got decent enough to drive a good lap the tyres where cooked

Still OK

 

 

Drove the car straight up to Sydney and put in storage ready for WTAC flew home to Perth 

Blaaa blaaa the opportunity came to replace the billet RB2.7 with a brand new RB2.8 billet nitto wide journal complete engine a round about deal was done and Dahtones put it in this week and Brads tuning it on Thurs

The RB2.7 would be avaiable for purchase from Racetech is anyone wants it such a killa engine !!

Apart from that its back into storage till the new bonnet gets put on and I rock back to Sydney  in 6 weeks on the Monday before WTAC to prep the car get some practice in and send it and see what happens!

 

Update over ... for now 😁

 

[Komdotkom]

What sort of power difference do you think you'll see between the two engines? Is it just the extra RPM from the wide journal that you're chasing?

[bcozican]

in reality the new engine was a swap alot because it was brand new vs 3 years old and the other one needing a refresh after wtac anyway

but... the 2.8 is obvious capacity etc and will do current power more easily and add some responsiveness not that that was really lacking 

the limiting factor with all this atm is injectors (ID1700s at 4 bar base) and turbo (precision 6780) literally being maxed out at bang on 1000hp as thats what the system was designed to do, so to go more need injectors, turbo and  maybe even intercooler

but i know a guy that like his power and will see how this all unfolds 

it is a rwd drive on an 050 tyre though and i am just a complete amateur so among other things the ability to drive it becomes a consideration also

Go the VCT, fuuark.

who'd have thought

and  some compression 🤔

>complete amateur
>1:24 at Winton laggy massive HP RWD R32

I dunno about the first part
I would argue this use case probably doesn't need VCT, won't be in the rev range that it would ever be active!

medium amateur ??

VCT rather have than not and they NEO heads anyway... agree shouldnt be down there in revs agree but one  does stuff up at times and does help 😁

[Kinkstaah]

Wouldn't it be of the power range where a larger cam is more beneficial that is not VCT friendly?

Generally speaking I'm ALL for smaller cams and VCT, but I am not making 1000HP in a time attack car. This could actually be an application where a larger camshaft that isn't VCT capable may actually have a use case.

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

Big cams and VCT makes all the sense.

Kind of have the best of both worlds (kinda).

All these engines run Tomie B pro poncams

This becomes above my pay grade and rely on others and get I quote "your decision making powers have been revoked" 😅

 

[acsplit]

Was good to see you at Aus time attack. Nothing better than hear an RB sing!

Even more fun giving Brad shit at the pub on Sunday night.
