I sure have! I just put in a newer gearbox that doesnt crunch in 2-3rd and doesnt pop out of 5th:thumbsup:
OH and I just changed from a (aftermarket) small 16G cartridge to an Evo3 BIG 16G comp cover and cartridge with upgraded 34mm flapper turbine housing (already on car).
It now hits 2nd/3rd and 4th gear 5000rpm (throw me through windscreen:lol:) boost cut (1.5BAR on gauge or 1.4BAR on the EBC/MAP sensor!) Tune tomorrow! (hmm...today)

your car needs a RESPRAY!!!!!!!!

Fixed^^^^^^

Well as they say good things come in 3s!

Tonight I went to the drags after talking to this bloke earlier on in the day about going.
He has a Celica GT4 and runs an Adaptronic ECU as well as being installed/tuned by our mutual friend. He beat me last time in mid May! Tonight it was my turn!

I chucked on the 15 Inch Oz Racing Chronos and shitty 3mm tread tyres and did a bit of tweaking on the ecu tune before I left and also took the laptop with me to the drags.

I left late after dinner and a quick tune and drove straight up to scrutineering with no line up in sight this time!

Weather conditions were ideal and freezing for Townsville. (under 20c) yeah I know.....

Rolled up and reeled off a 12.7@108 with crappy launch, 34psi in the tyres and missed 2nd gear!
I was surprised with the top end and thought it was going to be a good night...

Second run I rolled off a [email protected]! Which broke my previous PB on the second go of all things!

Next run I got a [email protected] which was enough to beat Allister's (SLOGSR) STOCK BOTTOM end 1.8L GSR in Australasia time of 12.42@106mph and knock him off third place!

I started to get excited about low 12's so I started dumping air from the tyres and upping the boost level and the boost cut. But previous to that, I was also logging the runs to see how the boost was holding up. I found out that I wasn't hitting the boost targets for that I was expecting and still nowhere near the boost cut I have on the street! The 1 sec overboost was set at 230kpa (130 gauge or 18.8psi) and hard boost cut at 240kpa (140kpa 20.3psi). I was only hitting a max of 220pka occasionally.

I set the boost cut figures 10kpa higher (240/250kpa) and then twigged the wastegate settings on the EBC 5 points higher on each 500rpm in the 4000-7000 rpm range.
Unfortunately the inverter plugged into the cars cigarette lighter wasn't enough to keep the laptop going and that was the end of that tune....so I just went for runs..

Next run netted me a [email protected].
From there I just kept lowering my tyre pressures and getting comfortable in my launch pattern/60ft times and gear shifts.

Best run for the night was [email protected] and the highest MPH for the night was 110.29
The GT4 ran a PB of 12.36@112mph and we were both chuffed!
So 3 milestones for tonight:

PB ET
PB MPH
Took 3rd place in STOCK BOTTOM END 1.8L GSR in Australasia Record(OZ/NZ)

I also took time out tonight to use my thermocouple to test out my cooler piping in 3 key locations.

J pipe over manifold, pipe just after the cooler and just before the TB.

After a few runs with the bonnet up and car parked and engine off, I was getting 50c for the top of the J pipe over manifold near the silicone bend, 22c-25c after the cooler (very good considering the ambient 18-20c in the air), and a spread of 35-40c before the TB. I assume a bit of heatsoak with those temps slowly rising.

I am looking to set up a few permanent sensors in those locations and a digital screen so I can check the temps just after a run and have it switchable between the 3. I will also be looking at heatwraping the j pipe again and possibly the last of the pipe from the gearbox to the TB just to lower temps further. Then there is the water/meth injection kit that I have:)

Pic of timeslip below and Ill have to get the videos of the runs put up somehow!
Enjoy..............

[bazeng]

WOOHOO!!!

Congrats buddy!!!!!!

[3zercrowd]

Thanks guys!

Looking at semis now, or something close for both drags and the sprints/hill climb.
Probably KU36's at the price they are ATM! (also deciding factor will be asymetrical tread, not directional)

Also need front bushes for the entire setup.

[brisvr4]

Nice work there Dane! Well done mate

[GSRWRC]
