Hi Guys. I shoot for SpeedNation and was wanting to come down to the event to cover it. Was wondering off someone can send me a message for what I have to do for media accreditation. I am CAMS accredited etc etc

Cheers

A couple from the recent Time Attack at Phillip Island.

A very full field again. But after lunch it thinned out.

I wasn't supposed to be in the skyline, so we threw the old a050 on and bamb 1.40.5 with traffic.

Car has a 37 in it.

I had a late night with some mates and went out to my car to drive home at about 3:30am Sunday morning, and the ice buildup was about half a cm thick, I can't imagine what it was like down at PI.

How chilly was it down there? I'm guessing the Siberian air came and cut through everyone?

I managed to reel off a 1:53.8 in my Little Red Rocket. It's my first time out at Phillip Island.

LOVE LOVE LOVE The first and last turns. G-Forces for days. May need a better seat!

Looks like I've busted the clutch bracket and I left after three sessions, but this is an easy fix.

Can live with that one!

Pushing down to 1:53 with only 3 sessions at the island is impressive. You need some experience/balls on a few corners to get that sorta time.

Well done :D

    • 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.
