Willowbank Test & Tune 23/4/14

[Rabit]

Just got back from Willowbank, Had lotsa fun. Had 3 runs, the first 15.9 with a r/t of .163 was the first time in thirty years iv'e done that and I forgot to turn off the aircon. The second and third runs were 14.65 and 14.67 which is right at what I predicted it would do. I parked it then because someone brought out a Nitro Funny and I love the smell of Nitro in the early evening. Photos of the occasion will follow.

Nice and consistent Rob!

The air con didn't actually affect your run that much, it just made it use so much fuel that you were lighter in the subsequent runs

 

[Ozyvr4]

Shouldn't the air con turn automatically on full throttle anyway. Does our Ecu have that feature.

Good work. What boost are you running?

Steve told me it was 15.8 when I had a road tune touch up last time he was up here. Our a/c seems to stay on at full throttle.

I was thinking that mabee we should have an evening of 'testing and tuning' some time in the near future, what do you all think. Only costs $45.00 to have a go, you only need a helmet, shoes, long sleeves and trousers. Its great fun.

I want to have another diff lined up before I go down just as a precaution would love to break into the 12's

 

[Rabit]

Understood, the diff is why I didn't launch it.

 

[vr4cobra]

autos are too hard to launch too much torque
when I took mine down first time was 100% stock auto with mbc 11psi did a 14.1 quarter with a bogged start

Its been a few years since the last ozvr4 qld drag meet. If I wasn't trying to sell my car I would love to have a another go.
