yeah a very sad story but it will be back soon :rolleyes: It went back to the machine shop on Fri and we should have it back to start again on Tue. Hoping to have the engine back in and running by w/end after next.

And we've pretty much finished up the interior too, seats, harnesses, kill switch, data logger.

Still need to reinstall bushes, subframe, diff, suspension, brake lines....but its getting close, probably 100% ready in 4 weeks

Sick... must be pretty stressfull. I know if it was me I would be throwing spanners across the garage if that happened. What are the rules for the touring category in regards to brakes and diffs - free for all, do what want type thing?

fatz: when you say there would be flag marshalls on the track it means the dudes in white suits and earmuffs waiving different color flags? Hopefully we get a crash course on those in the beginning because i can see myself getting beaten up by 5 blokes who were tailgating me while i was waived to pull over and let pass.

yeah some spanners have been abused in the building of that engine :cheers: The rules are pretty tight, only things we can change are ECU, coilovers, diff centres, and add safety stuff like cage, seat, harness, kill switch. Luckily we can run N1 spec which includes larger wheels and tyres and the brembo brakes.

Yeah there will be a couple of guys manning the flag points, 3 last time I think. Basically they will show yellow flag if there is an incident and red if the session is over (back to the pits).

Fatz,,,Is it okay to pay you on the day?. I've got a problem with one of the rear calipers and Race Brakes www.racebrakes.com.au are trying to fix it.

Neil.

    • I can't agree. If we hadn't all been brought up with the noise caused by the inefficiency of an ICE, no-one would actually ask for all that. An EV is like any other car, it just goes better. 
    • 2 more things I have to work out Easy one first...can anyone describe how to pull the fuel pump and sender from a 33? I can feel there is some sort of mount and clips but don't have a manual and don't know the trick......if not I'll spend some quality time in the boot witha lighter tomorrow. Second question is harder.  He had changed the upper plenum to a plazmaman but clearly got to a point with the vacuum hoses where he said "f**k it, I'm going inside for a beer" and never came back to that job because it was a mess. Am I right to think that I need: 1. Pre throttle (16mm nipple on inlet) to AAC's main 20mm fitting as the main pre throttle feed 2. ACC has a second 13m outlet joined to that 20mm fitting which I think is the pre throttle air supply for the cold start valve? 3. Cold start valve's outlet fitting then goes to Plenum (to bypass throttle?) There is some adapter on the back of the ACC with 2 fittings (13mm and 10mm), do I run the 10mm through a 1 way valve to the Brake Booster (4) and the 13mm back to a 13mm nipple on the Plenum as the Idle control (5)? 6. Run a 6mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart BOV to the Plenum? 7. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Fuel Pressure Reg to the Plenum? 8. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart Boost controller to the Plenum? (Wastegate already has a pre turbo pressure source running to the solenoid then the wastegate on the other side of the bay)  Any help appreciated, the GTR is quite different setup and while the Stagea also has FFP it is different again. (And no Dose, I'm not pissing it all off and putting a ethrottle on it....)
    • OK, onto some questions to try and speed up the process a little. Does anyone know what core this Garret is? I know it is a high flowed standard turbo but nothing else about it. Tag says OK 0169J - 446179-5032 Same question for the injectors, I don't know what they flow and ideally can work it out before it hits the dyno, they are a mustard yellow side feed
    • Quick side trip into the engine externals, alternator and PS were in place including tensioned belts, but the PS was dry (my guess is he had the steering rack reco-ed). Filled it up with Transmax Z but it will need more bleeding once the engine is running no doubt. BTW I've said before, I don't know what kind of soft animals you have in the city, but out here they breed the rats tough. I bet they were disappointed when they tasted synthetic ATF.... Coilpacks are Splitfires with a factory loom in reasonable condition. I didn't pull one put I bet the spark plugs are new as its a new engine
    • Onto intake pressure test. I have a Raceworks (damn brand thieves!) pressure test adapter that lets you apply pressure through a standard tyre valve and comes with a pressure gauge.....I just blocked off the other end immediately before the throttle body. Applied 30psi....and the turbo intake immediately popped off with a bang. Sorted that but it was still leaking, turns out there is a pinhole leak at the BOV adapter that I'll have to find a local place to TIG up. I'm sure it makes SFA difference with such a small leak but I want it to be right. Everything else up to the throttle body was good. Also cleaned and oiled the KNX cone filter, and this is the AFM if anyone can identify it (car runs a PowerFC)
