What's the 76 feeling like on gate ?

Its punchy, but as we found today there is little timing etc. 

So got a good hour of logs, will have a look amd adjust from there. Eboost will also get tweaked with gate pressure etc

Any update on this? Got your list sorted out?

Racewars ain't to far off either.

 

Give us some pic updates tooo.

Been a bit going on with the car, We finally got sometime in the car doing some logs and power runs. 

 

@Ralph Wiggum worked some magic with the tune, even had a bash behind the wheel of his old whip. Car is pushing 22 pound strong on PULP, tweaking the eboost has really brought the car alive. Still really haven't added any timing so there is still more in it. 

Was quite entertaining listening to the car building boost on cruise control going up Toodyay road. Gotta fix a couple of fuel delivery hiccups, then its off to get some dyno time for the E85 tune, then RaceWars.

 

Current position of car, will be completed over the weekend. Was good as also fixed the leaking diff axle seals and the shagged centre bearing.

 

Couple of little things to do now, the boss has been pretty understanding with this all and is giving me some leeway to get the car ready.

So as Racewars gets closer I have been spending more and more time in the shed trying to get everything ready for Albany and the dyno/E85 Tune prior to that.

 

So Sat morning first of the RW Scruitineering days was upon us. Was a nice way to kick of the day, Ralphy had been putting in big hours to be ready for the wkend. It was the first time that both our cars were actually out on their own steam together.

So after a bit of a cluster in regards to how the inspections were done, car rolled through. After an initial knock back due to a coil over spring misalignment, the day finished like this

 

Feeling pretty I <3 Bananasen chuffed with how it all went, I took it easy not he way home coz race car and all. Murphy's law decided to hit, it seems like its just one thing after another at the moment.

 

So currently shed looks like this, 2 wks to dyno and 3 wks to RaceWars

 

My wife is going to hate me!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey look there's me in the background.

Sucks about the turbo man. I feel your pain mine is just about the same it's had a notch in it and made terrible run down noises for years keep waiting for it's day to come.

[k31th]

ah... hopefully there's not too much damage then and it's a cheap(ish) repair

[turboknapp]

Yeh looks like bearing has collapsed, no damage that I can see.

Thanks
