Wow, what a weekend! Had some crazy trailer troubles, but that didn't stop me from having an awesome trackday and aero test.









Also had to add 8% fuel across the board to stay in a safe AFR range. Only boosted to 10-12 psi this weekend since I did not get a chance to go on the dyno to adjust for the port changes done on this new motor. Good power even at 12 psi.

 

For the front fenders I have some fiberglass units, but will be modifying them to get the desired aero effects. The rears I don't need to do over fenders, yet.

One by-passes the turbo and intercooler when the motor is under vacuum to improve throttle response and make more power. The other is recirc'd to blow charged air directly into the compressor to help keep the turbo spooled. Both prevent any surge from ever occurring.

You would be surprised how much the valve actually opens when you let off under full boost. If you have the means test it on a bench. Apply whatever pressure your running on the boost port and 30 inches of mercury on both vacuum ports.

 

Video of ORP. Didn't get a lot, sorry.

You can e-mail RE-Amemiya and they will probably help you out with information on the spoiler, very nice people.

 

Yeah, problem with that is the wing's a knock off. I'd feel like a total *** asking them when I didn't even purchase it from them.

 

That looks like a lot of fun... What was your fastest lap counter clockwise? Top speed? Did anyone ever pass you? Any plans to run slicks?

Car sounds great! Screamer!

 

I'd LOL so ******* hard at that phone convo.

ring ring ring

RE-Amimiya: Herro?

Adam: Hey I have a RE-Amimiya wing taht I wanted to ask you a few questions about.

RE-Amimiya: Can we get your information, so we know exactly what wing you are using?

Adam:`Well, actually its a JKL Racing replica, BUT IT'S AN EXACT REPLICA!

RE-Amimiya: Click.

Adam: Hello?

Adam: Hello??

Adam: Herro???

Dial Tone.................................

 

I plan to buy one from them so I can ask if you like, haha. What exactly do you need to know?

 

Down force and drag in Newton's at 160 kph/100 mph throughout it effective operating range. Also at what angle and speed does the wing start to stall. Preferably this data would be on an FD with it 16-18" off the deck. I honestly would be surprised if you could get this data.

 

Honestly didn't record lap times and those who did try to clock my time I either hit traffic or I fuel starved and immediately pitted. Top speed was roughly 130mph going down Valkyerie hill. No one passed me, but I also didn't get a chance to play with the ex-Trans AM/GT1 Cameros or Corvette C6R. Sure you wanna buy me a set?

Thank you.

 

What... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

 

 

Is it a European swallow or an English swallow?

NEE!

 

if ya aint breakin somthin your not racin hard enough go bud

sounds like a blast, if you're ever in nebraska or near by I would love to come drool on the car, but that might affect aerodynamics

 

Lol, thanks.

More video of ORP track day.

Fast frward to 6:35 on video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egXPD2PiXfI

 

^lol did that white porsche go off chasing you?

 

Nice pass! Cool Track. Know who was in the dust cloud near the end of that vid? I wanna drive on that track... or any track. Are you going to be racing at PIR Rose Cup Races June 11-13?

If you missed the article in the paper today...

Don't know, he wasn't in my mirrors by the time I got to that corner. Though at the crest of that right hander the rear end gets really light, even on my FD with the rear wing.

Not racing, don't have a full cage in the car. But I will be doing the autoX on Saturday.

 

Good article, and it's on the money. Give it a few years and ORP will be just like T-Hill. They just need to build the second section of track they're planning on doing and it will be world class.

 

that track looks fun, especially the section at 7:40.

what were average lap times and what were you running?

 

My out lap via through video was a 2:00.3 and I figure I'm in the 1:59/1:58 range. As far as average lap times, I don't know.

 

i want to be full throttle out of the bowl but damn it i was doing the same as you about 1/2 till i could actually see the turn. love that turn, so many people were taking it really slow there and then not tracking out at the top.

I like CCW better mostly cause those up hill right handers i loose so much time. keep lifting inside tire.

was doing 2:00 laps last year cw. didn't really time myself ccw. only got one video.

June 28th with Palatov hope to have the car going better. it'll be my last track day ever in the NW.

GOAL: full throttle from bottom of the bowl to the bottom of valkhrie. should be easy.......

 

Yeah, once I truely learn ORP fully it's going to be one wild ride. Same, I like CCW better, way more technical and the blind turns are way more pronounced.

Get yourself that 1 gallon catch can in place and you will be golden, lol.
