ok bois n girls

I managed to head back to Heathcote Park Raceway on Sunday April 26th
was a gloomy cold n wet day in Melbourne, but we soldiered on,
once we passed wallam, the skys became blue, the sun was peeking thru and it was to b a fine day of racing


no real changes to the car since Sydney's 11.88 pass
just a lil more rpm on the launch and a **** load better driving (seat time is key)

first run out
broke passenger drive shaft on the start line

second run out
ran 12.3 @125mph with a 1.88 60ft and a miss shift into 2nd

third run
broke the drivers side drive shaft in the burnout

fourth run
PB
11.80 @127mph 1.91 60ft

fifth run
11.78 @129mph 1.97 60ft

sixth run
11.69 @127mph 1.97 60ft

seventh run
11.70 @ 126mph 1.87 60ft

eighth and last run
11.69 @127mph 1.88 60ft

I think the car has a little more in it as it was still bogging off the line with 6500rpm launch control

here are some pics of the day

tyres nice n flat 9.5psi cold

crappy video from my bros fone will b uploaded soon, (so far we have lost the sd card with all the footage )



also had my cousin bring his VL up for a couple of runs
he managed a best of 11.68 @ 118mph (dnt remember his 60ft)

gate flame pic

and with everything still in tune for another days racing, happy to pack up n head home with TWO 11's street cars

6500RPM launches me like :spot on: upgrading your drive shafts or just going to run stock with spares?.

I would love to upgrade the shafts, but then the weak link will b either clutch or gear box...
its cheaper to break 2 shafts per meeting...lol

not much of un update yet...

but this is wat the ek's new fuel system is starting to look like...

 

[ievaq8]

hey all,
smallish update,
managed to get the FBM twin pumper hanger all in, plumbed and wired up last week

and looks OEM

took it for a quick drive to the servo for some fresh fuel and adjusted fuel pressure due to more volume now...

and the following night I swapped out my id1000cc injectors for the new id2000cc injectors...

now awaiting tune date...

 

[SS-REX]

now awaiting tune date...

More boost please:spot on:

 

[ievaq8]

More boost please:spot on:

Thanx mate, atm its gonna get a retune on bp98 and same boost, as with 11.1 comp we aleady on the limit of 98 octane...
Omce thats fuel is all gone and done, i have some race fuel where we will start with 22psi

 

[ievaq8]

Woooo...
Been a while since updated...
Had the car retuned on bp98 with new fuel pumps and massive injectors

Really wanted to turn the boost down for the street, but since i had the cat removed, it actually picked up 1.2or so psi and now sits around 16psi
We dont turn the engine as hard anymore...
Infact 700rpm less and it suprisingly showed 305kw at 8000rpm...

Decided it was time to put the ek on a diet...
This carbon bonnet turned up cheap off a mate, so i had it re-cleared...
*

Then i impulse bought these 15mm wider than stock J's Racing fenders...
*
*

I decided i needed a rollcage for my own safety & not wait for track rules n regs to tell me wat i need and wen i need...

*

*

And now im making some pretty cool suspension changes
Dc2r subframe and rack (sorri bout the bad pic)
*

Dc2r lca's with fresh superpro bushes
*

& a set of HAKON coils from my good mates newly designed and developed product...
I up'd the rear spring rates to 14kgs from my previous 12kgs...
*

& ill b adding traction bars at alignment stage



These changes have come about fast and unplanned...
Just sorta happened and excitinly enuf JAMBOREE has booked and is coming to MELB...
so if u decide to go n check it out at CALDER PARK RACEWAY on 24th OCTOBER, do come and say hi...

But b4 JAMBOREE MELB, Im hoping to do some testing at CALDER PARK on Friday 9th October...
