WRX Club - Rnd 2 - Phillip Island - March 12


Recommended Posts

Snowy, I thought that was your autosalon run. doesn't matter, i'll squeeze every last drop but on previous assumption it seemed achievable. 260 won't be a problem and will be welcome for top end. When you are sick of the 2530's I'll be in the wings.........:(

Al ultimately the head will have GTR cams as well, just reground to suit the hydraulic lifters but will lack the valve size. Plus the GTR34 turbos are safe at 1.2bar or 17.2 psi. Nice job parking BTW :P. Sorry to hear of it mate.

Ferni I am also running a malpassi FPR which allowed 220 rwkw with the stock injectors at 85-90% with the GTR pump, plus I will be using a Bosch 044 external and swirlpot (for safety on the track). Fuel won't be a problem. Again though, a car with a higher compression ratio will produce more power at the same psi.

No worries Wayne.

At this current stage you will be competing against Ant, heartbrkr and Chrisman (in a TX5) within the club.

Now - if you didnt realise we are all pretty much staying down at PI for the weekend. There are still beds available so you (and if you have a Mrs even) are more than welcome to join us - for either just one night or all weekend if you wish.

:)

Thanks for the offer, I already have accomodation down there. I will fax the entry form off tomorrow. Can you please bring another CAMS entry form for a temporary licence, in case my real one does not arrive by then.

:rofl:

Denham.

The fuel comes from VPW - 541 High Street, Epping - Victoria 3076

The fuel you want is the Sunoco GT Plus 104 (they have a few different types but this is the one you want).

Cost $120 for a 20L drum. One drum will last 2 track days. FYI - this is the stuff Benno uses.

Also Denham - you are in 2WD modifed. You are against Roy, Geoff, Gareth (if he's coming).... and the Ice Supra! :rofl:

Why is Ant in the std class?

He has a Hi-flow turbo, wolf-3d and a little more stuff

Ant: :)

Geoff, you know alot more than me, but with injectors at 85-90% at 220rwkw, i would think at 250rwkw injectors would be close to max.

Nah mate, upgraded now to toyota 440cc injectors from the std RB25 that I had @220rwkw. I think the standards are 340cc or so. A good size jump anyway and good for 300rwkw so plenty in reserve.

Denham, no pics yet as I'm still fitting parts and stuff together. Have to get the manifolds today (Robbie has been flat out with drags and PAYING customers....) and hope to be on the dyno Weds.

What won't get done at this stage will be the cams, swirlpot and 044. Still should be a good power figure but just running out of time and available cash (and wifes' patience) :P

Roy!! You were supposed to be sleeping Dammit!!! Have you apologised to that poor lady yet that you woke at oh dark hundred Friday morning??? Flowers, a nice gift and dinner and a big big apology or you will go straight to HELL in her regard and you won't get ANY.

Oops. i put down standard class on the application. Oh well, hopefully organisers will put me in associated.

Took my car to mechanic yesterday. Changed oils etec.

Probs:

- rear brakes are worn

- front tyres are close to indicators.

Going to see if i can source some cheap pads; and if anyone wanna save me some cash by helping install them? btw, was there some group buy (blind elk?), or did that come and go.

Not sure what to do with tyres. The rears (36psi) have heaps of tread left (no burnouts) but the front (38-40psi) have worn down twice as fast . Deciding whether i can get away with putting the grip at the front, and running the worn on the rear. Bit of a gamble if marshalls kick up a stink.

Else what tyres to get? 2 or 4? Ive got Falken Azenis which came with my car. Havent got $300+ for each tyre. Will have to dip into savings at any rate. Any recommendations?

I'm in for the 12th as well. Having only just bought the R34, Phillip Island will be a good place to get used to driving it after 8 years in Subarus (or not)...

Yas can add me to your championship if you like. I'm happy to join up and pay.

Currently I am a WRX Club member.

The car is standard other than some timing gears and a tune at Racepace. I may also have a PowerFC in by next Saturday if all goes to plan. I'm also planning on running RE55s.

It's goimg to be a great day, let's all keep our fingers crossed for dry weather.

Does anyone have a good suggestion for how to fit a bonnet restraint to the R34?

Cheers

heartbrkr: I wouldn't go for cheap pads if your going on the track, they will fade really quick. Try some RB74 pads around $150 i think, if your really strapped for cash you may be able to get away with some bendix ultimates, a bit cheaper. As for tyres, are they worn on the inside only? or all around? Hard to say what to do without seeing them... I don't remember ever having the scruitineers actually check my tyre tread, so not sure what the deal is there.

wwwrxxx: will be good to see another 34 GTR out there! Don't try to keep up with snowman tho, he's too fast!

snowman uses bonnet pins, most of us other guys have some steel cable in that plastic wrap under the bonnet with some clips... geoff made mine, roy made a bunch last time.

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
    • i need a complete tail light for my R33 GTR if you have please let me know.
