Hi Wez, Feel free to put mine on there. I think you know all the details but let me know if not. Cheers, Ben.
-
Just my car will do me ;-)
-
You might see a few Time Attack cars as there's a track day for them to get used to the track on the Saturday.
-
That's where us WhifBitz guys have booked in for the Saturday and Sunday night. :-)
-
OK, just measured mine. I have a GReddy Ti exhaust, double d-cat, single turbo, external wastegate. 1200rpm ~ 95dB 3500rpm ~ 105dB 4500rpm ~ 113dB With the baffle in I have: 1200rpm ~ 91dB 3500rpm ~ 95dB 4500rpm ~ 104dB But I wouldn't want to run with a baffle in on a track day ... EDIT: Sounds nice though :-)
-
Maybe we should just source all those parts :-) (if possible) EDIT Some good pictures here: http://www.autoblog.com/photos/denso-sard-supra-hv-r/279227/ and only aero parts from SARD (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SARD) I can find are here http://www.sard.co.jp/product/exteria/index.html so maybe not commercially available replica kits?
-
Now that would be ideal :-) Anything else to be honest is guess work - although some track time just changing wings etc. would also help to see how they affect time.
-
Not 120 :-) But you're right, the wing is for fast corners, although suspect the wings on F1 cars are designed to provide downforce at higher speeds.
-
I've read in a motor engineering magazine that there's an optimum distance the wing should be from the car - and generally it's a bit closer (will have to find the magazine).
-
Also consider if you want to do track days. Manual better for that.
-
I guess so ... now why didn't I think of that? Anyway - back to topic, I think Japspeed.co.uk and AutoIntDesign.com may sell them.
-
Scrapped that idea and just got rid :-)
-
For a proper conversion I would have thought you need a motor that is quicker and the angle of the sweep to be higher.
-
Bump ...
-
What about the block? 2nd hand, Titan, imported from US ... ?
-
Was wondering when you would spot this one :-) True, I was almost jumping up and down in my seat trying to get the car to keep with his on the straight - very impressive! Yeah, we do need to look at fabricating something to stop the air potentially going into the trial rear ...
-
Ah Jeeze - will miss your run :-(
-
Any particular brands? I.e. that would support rev-ing to 8500rpm (which sounds like a plan).
-
It's the taking part that counts Chris! I'm "just" club class - about midway in the table in terms of position so potentially could get up there a bit with a few more tweaks. I do see your point though. I did consider getting a different vehicle once I decided to get into it, but had already invested some dosh in the car which wouldn't see on resale, plus I had some fondness for her to decided to see what could be done with her
-
Correct :-)
-
Not stock turbos, "my" existing turbos :-) What I mean is, I've got a lot of the "external" engine bits - but looking for internal stuff. For my purpose this is for Time Attack - which are pretty loose regulations (can't think of any in particular to be honest). EDIT: "any" in terms of the engine.
-
OK, interested in peoples thoughts on the ideal rebuilt engine. This is for race use! Not really into V8 conversion or anything as must work with existing turbo / ECU / exhaust, etc. etc. So, internal items to consider would be pistons (e.g. JUN) , valves, rods (e.g. Carillo), bearings, crank, blocks (e.g. rebuild or new block from Toyota or Titan), heads, cams, etc. Post your list and reasons.
-
Will have to check. We had to play it on the safe side as the car is thrown about quite a bit. Will have ot check invoice for you.
-
The rears fit fine - although the fronts are bit too inset. Currently chasing with Gaz @ Envy.
-
I need to leave at 12 really, so an 11 o'clock slot would be ideal. May have a mate in an VX220 turbo stage 2 who might want to come but will need to get confirmation tomorrow.
