What a great day indeed!!! my first DECA is hopefully the start of more to come!!!

Big big thanks to the SAU Vic DECA crew - Bec, Ryan, Leon and Wayne (if there are more thank you too!)

Also thanks to all the people who helped on the day, things like this wouldn't be possible without people like you :P

And last but not at all least thank you to those who were competing, hope you had a blast and that we will see you all for the next one :)

Had a great day out, tag teaming in the little red mx-5 with Jack. Just wanted to offer my thanks and appreciation for those who volunteered today. It's often a thankless task and without you guys it would not go ahead..so thanks a heap!

P.S whats the std timeframe for timing results?

Another great weekend. I'm sure everyone involved in reviving deca would agree it was worth it! Always good to catch up with everyone, was also great to meet a bunch of new people.

Big thanks to all our volunteers on the day. Massive thanks to Wayne for organising all our helpers and spending the whole day out on the skid pan.

Great work Odi with the online entry system. It has certainly made entering a whole lot easier!

While its unfortunate your car broke Martin, its great to have footage from the day! Looking forward to seeing some photos from the camera guys getting around.

There are a lot of people who have helped out with deca and make it the fun event it is. Your help is appreciated.

See you all at the next one.

Also should have some cool drone footage from Tony on the way :)

Thanks Martin for the camera work.

And a massive thanks to Bec, Ryan, Leonica and all the volunteers for organising and running the day! Had a blast as always.

Note to self: avoid midgets at the pub, it doesn't end well

    • Yeah the ACL and similar formable heat shielding materials are really nice. But most people do not have the patience or talent to do a good job like that. Almost anything is better than nothing though. Even if you didn't form it closely like that and just had a slab of it slipped in between the manifold and somewhere/thing you wanted to protect, you would gain benefit. There has to be a market opportunity for people like Artec to make formed heatshields to suit their cast manifolds. The fact that they are cast means that they are consistently the exact same dimensions and they could add bosses to the castings like you see on stockers to allow heat shields to be firmly attached yet floating away from the manifold itself.
    • I've seen some stuff like this as well, not sure if it's a good idea or anything but it does have more standoff from the piping than the conventional fiberglass wrap:  
    • Jap premium will be 100 RON. You should use 98.
    • The exhaust gases are at their highest temperature as they leave the exhaust port and enter the manifold. They cool as they flow through the manifold because they transfer heat to the manifold and the manifold loses heat to the surrounding environment. Thus, inevitably, the exhaust gases are cooler as they enter the turbo compared to when they entered the exhaust manifold. So, yes, the exhaust manifold can easily get as hot as the turbine housing. Having said that, you will generally see the highest temperatures where the exhaust gases have to slow down or they are concentrated into one area - which is usually the collector on the manifold and in the turbine housing, because the gases slam into the metal at those places, increasing the convective heat transfer coefficient and transferring even more heat to the metal than they might just flowing past elsewhere. Exhaust manifold heat shields are a good idea - certainly for the stock manifold they are there from the factory. People seldom have anything like that on a tubular manifold because they are hard to achieve. Some might wrap a tube manifold with fibreglass tape - but this has a reputation of leading to cracked welds. The best case is generally to put ceramic coating onto the manifold to prevent it getting as hot (internal coating) and radiating/convecting heat into the bay (external coating). All the real heat from a turbo comes from the exhaust side. The gases entering are at ~800-900°C and the steel/iron gets nearly that hot. The compressor side is only going to heat the charge air up to <<200°C (typically not much more than 100°C). So that's nothing, by comparison. The compressor is not a significant source of engine bay heat.
    • Late to the party, specifically joined this forum as I just bought one of these and this thread has been a gold mine of info. If the OP is still around, mind if I ask what gas you been putting in yours? Mine has a Japanese sticker in the cap saying premium but it seems to get way worse mileage on premium (95) than 91. I always thought it was meant to be the other way round🤷 I do think Nissans claimed "6l/100km" is a bit fantastical 😂
