the F22 is a work of art is it not? I love them.. Also love the F35. Cant tell ya much, its classified

11.4 @ 122mph.. 1.76 60foot which was my first run.. with only a baby stall up of 3psi boost off the line. Second run, in the right lane, I crept off the stage beams startin the timing whilst I was still sitting there stalling it up.. Error 3rd run I notice the bottom stage light was flickering, so I reversed and come back upto it again. obviously when I stalled up I must have crept off again, even though the stage and prestage lights were still on. the timer started counting whilst I was still sitting there.. GRR it was such a nice launch too, 12psi, hooked up too.. would have loved to see what ET I would have had.. instead of the 14.4 with the 4.4second 60foot it showed me

Being involved in the F35 project, I'm eagerly waiting to see the BF1's First Flight. AA-1 which was a F35A CTOL (conventional take off landing) had its first flight late last year. BF-1 is the first F35B STOVL(short take off vertical landing) which has just completed some of its final tests.. Assuming first flight will be coming soon oh, the F35b is also the aircraft used in the movie Die Hard 4 Taken from.. http://www.f-16.net/news_article2899.html The F-35 is a supersonic, multi-role, 5th generation stealth fighter. When at full power, the F-35B's system generates more than 40,000 pounds of lifting force, or about 170 percent more than current-generation STOVL fighters. Graham Tomlinson, pilot from BAE Systems performed two conversions from conventional (wing-borne flight) to STOVL (jet-borne) mode with the aircraft anchored to a specially instrumented hover pit at Lockheed Martin’s STOVL Operations Test Facility. The F-35B is conducting a final series of ground tests before its first flight in the coming weeks. "The F-35B's STOVL propulsion system operated exactly as expected, providing the power output that our models forecast and transitioning very smoothly from conventional to STOVL-mode and back," said Bobby Williams, Lockheed Martin vice president and F-35 deputy program manager. "We expect the same kind of seamless transition when the F-35B begins STOVL-mode flights in early 2009." The F-35B STOVL propulsion system has logged more than 1,900 hours of operation on test stands. In 2001 the X-35B, used a prototype of the same propulsion system, completing 14 short takeoffs, 17 vertical takeoffs and 27 vertical landings. Later on, on July 20, 2001, the X-35B entered the history books by becoming the first aircraft to perform a short takeoff, accelerate to supersonic speed in level flight and descend for a vertical landing in a single mission. During the initial series of flights the F-35B will operate in conventional mode to evaluate overall flying status and airworthiness. In preparation for the F-35B’s first flight, Tomlinson flew the F-35A for the first time on May 28, assessing the aircraft’s handling at various power settings. Early on in 2009, the F-35B will conduct initial STOVL flight trials before moving to Naval Air Station Patuxent River, for further testing. Sunday's test marked the first use of the newly constructed hover pit and its supporting facilities. "Our aim is to retire technical risk well before we deliver F-35s to the fleet," Williams said. "Our investment in facilities like the hover pit is helping us do just that while building confidence in the test program." The F-35 comes in three variants, derived from a common design and will replace at least 13 types of aircraft for 11 nations.

The plates used to be on a alfa "autosaloon show car". Given that someone seen the car parked in church hill park, tells me its the same owner.. Oh, and he owns XXX bodykits in dandenong.. Might explain the "look" of it.. I like the colour.. Dunno about the white rims however..

Senna is right.. If your car was tuned on a extreme hot day, and your tuner uses open loop boost control, you will find coming upto winter, your boost is now higher in the cold, and since timing was on edge before, its most likely got more timing than that boost level can handle. A melted cat is also another posibility.

get a surge tank.. Best thing I ever done :> Ohh.. And learn some throttle control.. Mr I have skicks on..

Its gotta go and sound lke this .... BWx-XeaNMaY OMG... the IDLE!!! its so horny

Should fill up with fuel mate.. Doesnt fuel surge doesnt sound good coming from my rear quarter

I wanna lick you from your head to your toesssssss

wuv you more!

awww wub u stif

Your about this tall yeah ?

You get on the tray to wash the roof... Car height dont matter there

I tuned it. We used capa flash. Vcm suite softare for aussie fords aint ready yet. Nice kit that was too on a otherwise stock bf xr8.

which car was yours? Was yours the car in there with the "bonnet" yesterday? Did he give you the grand tour of his new facility?

I"m an idiot

why was my reply deleted?

that's right.. BF pcm has various system switches for launch control.. however, dont know what support system is required behind it to operate..

When I initially got my wastegate port done, I was quoted from $250 to $550. I elected not to mention I was quoted that little back at the time I posted that. And no, I did not take the $250 option. Then I purchased the complete Nizpro Plenum/Cooler/Airbox/Battery Kit from you Simon, and immediately on fitting the kit, I found I had over boosting problems. I was unable to bring boost under 17psi. You probably recall the conversation we had, back when you were still doing your wastegate ports with a die grinder prior to getting them done by CNC. You mentioned there is a lot more to it than making the hole bigger, and to focus some attention to profiling from the flange to the flap to encourage flow from the exhaust manifold to the wastegate port. This is when I took it upon myself to report the wastegate myself. This is my result. Commanding 0 Duty cycle in open loop, I can get a stable 12psi, Remembering, I also have a full exhaust with a 4" dump pipe to stir things up a little further. This below is the standard port. Look closely where the RED arrows are pointing, this is the part of the housing that has alot of profiling done. I agree not all jobs are the same, and some will most likely still overboost. Now coming from an Aerospace engineering side of things, I see design to manufacturing every day at work, and a number of years ago, I also worked in an engineering shop decked out with a number of Okuma Lathes, Mills and a Siemens 5 axis machine. A Mill will only be able to bore a bigger hole, and Re-seat the port, it will be unable to get in the housing to do the profiling. This is where you need a 5 axis machine to do the port for you. Knowing the implications of having to model an exhaust housing into a CAD package such as Catia, and then designing your modifications to the port, it only leaves manual programming in M or G-Code for instance. I would love to see the MCode or GCode programming involved to put the level of detail into the profiling of the port as one could do by hand with a die grinder.

max hasnt stopped SMS'ing any of us.. LOL Max in a candy store alright ok thank you

I try to always use the latest strategy.. Ie, for the BA's, the HAANF strategy is the latest.. Think of bios firmware upgrades, they are basically the same deal. Updated runtime.. But also with the code changes, ford also change the calibration.. ie, A3HD, is the last of the BA(mk2) Auto calibrations, it uses the HAANF strategy. So it has the benefits of better control system, ie, better boost control PI control in comparison to a A3YA (which is one of the first BA ones).. But also with this there are other calibration changes, Ie, more torque restrictions etc. I always open up both the "labeled" processor code, and the latest strategy code for the family of car. And do a quick comparison, to see what else in the calibration had changes.. albiet that there are tables that the CAPA Advantage3 software doesnt show, so you dont know what else in the calibration has changes behind the scenes. Oh, and as promised, here's a picture of Marios DynoCell.. Although it was taken with my phone.. If you look at half way along the ramps, you will see they are hinged. These ramps fold in half, and allow the doors to shut (not pictured) The back of the doors have big ducts traveling down, which directs air from the roof mounted fan, down the door, and then re-angle them towards the vehicle.

well only real way you can check is pull the turbo off.. slip in a 12psi actuator, but you should only do this if you have injectors, as this would be on edge of the standard injectors.. Also port the wastegate to avoid possible overboost in the future

I know what your problem is and its not valve springs.. I've seen 3 cases of it.. 1) Kissy's car, His actuator was disconnected. Somehow we suspect the previous owner, returning the car to stock swapped the actuator and didnt hook the old one up properly. He has been running the capa generic tune, and although noticing a power increase when using the box, vs standard, and a boost increase, this is caused by extra timing.. Remember, his wastegate was not connected, it was flapping freely 2) BB's ute. His wastegate was Jammed open. As you will see in a moment, There is a collet which is welded to the exhaust housing, which has cracked, and slipped outwards of the housing, and the flaps jammed against the side of the housing unable to close.. BB was running a generic tune, his mates said his was real slow on coming on boost.. No doubt, the wastegate was jammed open, there was pretty much NO movement in his wastegate what so ever 3) hqracer's ute. (PICTURE ATTACHED), is also another case where the collets weld to the housing has broken, and as you can see in the picture, the flap is not seating. I tuned hqracers ute about 6 months ago, However, I was rather disapointed with the results on how it come on power. I told him, wastegate actuator, and valve springs.. We choose to do wastegate first.. and good enough we did, because this is what we found.. Here's HQracers turbo as removed from his car. as you can see the actuator arm is still attached, and the wastegate is not shut. the collet weld had broken. Danny

the auto changes gears with the solenoids.. so driving it in auto or shifting manually has no effect on the solenoids. HOWEVER, downshifting a auto car is generially not good, as the overrun clutch usually is the weakest clutch of the box (the engine braking clutch). A 4 speed box is only as good as its tune controlling it. These are the failures I've seen people fail. 1) 2nd and 4th gear band. Due to lack of shift preasure during 1 -> 2 shift 2) C1 clutch (3rd and 4th gear). Due to lack of shift presure during 2 -> 3rd shift 3) Plantery failure. Due to axle tramp during launches beating on the plantery's. There were a number of cars last night I heard shift last night under power, putting it bluntly, are excessively wearing out their boxes I have broken the plantery's in my box, I've worn out my 2nd/4th gear band (I somewhat also blame the generic tune I was running for some time). and caused excessive wear on the C1 clutch, Which is also a combination of the shaft seals being poor, and not enough shift presure. Ohh, and too much presure, and the box totally hates it also, causing poor shifts. Obtaining the perfect shift is a nice balance of shift timing, shift presure and torque management :>

Yeah. I was on the phone to XRSTiffed.. had her on loud speaker, she wanted to hear us give it some
