17 When I bought it. 30 now..

Add lightness and set the car up properly.

Few small updates - Picked up a billet Garret GTX2971R Fitted up mostly But I may have a new distraction

Alright it's been a while since I last updated. First up I got it tuned and it currently has 173 extremely linear hp at the wheels. Overlaying it against my 280 hp graph is disappointing. Polished the inlet manifold and added some color. If it's slow at least it can look pretty. Anyway, took it out to QR for a shakedown. Initial feel and throttle response is great. Lost the bolt which stops the throttle body over extending so that ended the day prematurely. Next up was Jamboree. I wanted to run the gas but couldnt justify the cost of a new clutch just to run it for 1 day. Threw some

Thanks Guys, I was after something a little different after my last engine gave up. It's a K20Z4 and gearbox. Plan A was a Kawasaki zx14 engine/gearbox + turbo. Was deemed too hard/not reliable enough. Enter Honda power. I've got a heap more pictures and details I'll update later. It's actually pretty involved getting one of these in there. Especially when you ram it this far back to improve the weight distribution. Will also have a 125hp shot of nos to get it moving on the drag strip for Jamboree this year,

Well it was an eventful end to the year. A very wet track was no good for PB's but I managed to be at least 3 seconds a lap quicker than zuboo and miles ahead of the rest. Another First in Class and First outright for the day. This being the 6th and final round I also received 2 first trophies for the Season. The Zuboo boys cleaned up. There is another 2 trophies from the street series too. Multiple excursions off the track, including getting beached in the rocks after turn 1. After the final session the engine started to get a be hot. Could be head gasket or could be some damage fr

Got off the dyno after a little check. Pinged coming on boost and was the same up top. Pretty reflective of slightly more CR. 192hp on 11psi. Actuator pressure brings the boost on pretty gradually. Given the stock engine, might be for the best. 7200rpm limit, stock 5efe

I didn't know any of you guys followed WTAC, I've been heading down the last 5 years with the Mighty mouse honda CRX. He managed 3rd in Pro AM. I had my doubts about how quick the sva car would be but it certainly proved itself with a 1:29 with all the obvious issues they were having. Was gutted watching the driver have to run across a live race track to get his own fire extinguisher as the car burned Andy Forest was a top guy to chat to. One of the friendliest guys I've ever met. He did absolutely everything he could to get another box in it for Saturday but it ended up being far too

1.6's mostly

I haven't been deterred. Trying to think of a way to progress in the future, I have bought a toyota paseo to keep me going in the mean time. 170 000km 5efe Auto Bolt-ons baby! It's at the dyno now for a conservative tune. Should hopefully see me out the year of racing. 11 months of updates in an Hour!!!

Last Month I headed out to the 5th round of open sprints with some new tires. Just so happened porshe had a club day on at the same time. Finished 2nd outright only to lose to a radical and 1st in class. Managed to turn 5 laps before a big end came knocking... Results: A few shattered Porsche egos. Ben came in just behind me in the zuboo racing k20 swift. http://racing.natsoft.com.au/637380663/object_995546.85I/Result?1 New 205-50-15 Yokies! 1x spun big end 3x severely worn big ends, 1x damaged crank, 4x marked pistons and bores and shredded oil pump as well.

Next up it went back to the Drags for Jamboree. I got 3 qualifying runs in. an 11.4 and 2x 11.2's with a badly slipping clutch. I turned down the boost for Sunday eliminations to fix the clutch issues which worked. We ran Chicago shootout for eliminations. I won the first 2 rounds. Final round I was against Josh where he let me win but I still managed to screw it up and break out pulling another 11.2 on an 11.3 dial in all with less boost and a worse launch You can hear the 2-step. It builds around 8-10psi quickly Clutch slipping badly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2fpf2MYFwc

Trip to the dyno in August. Installed a 3 stage switch for boost selection and a 2-step rev limite + steering wheel button. 3-way switch on dash lets me selet what the button on the steering wheel does. It's either a 2-step rev limiter or an overboost button which reverts to the highest map. Was interesting... Boost controller died, tps died, spark plugs died, clutch slipped, injectors maxed, turbo pretty much maxed. Last time on that dyno actuator plumbed directly to turbo it ran 184hp on 14psi and 242hp on 20psi. Im guessing it was a little low, it was on semislicks and also ran

I re-did my center console and added 2x new switches for 3 stage boost control. Also added a button on the wheel for a 2-step. Also got carried away with heat proofing my radiator and added a panel to the head. Doubt it will do much but all the time attack cars seem to be doing it New 3" side exit exhaust and gold reflective heat shield. New 205-50-15 Yokies!

A little video from April. Still sorting the setup out a little but was running smoothly. Clutch was getting hard to disengage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sxh4Oz7lyTk My efforts from June. New Springs had sagged as they settled in causing all sorts of issues. My driving was terrible all day. Car had big oversteer issues from the start of the day. Was dragging the splitter really bad down the straight so had to take it off. Removed the rear wing to balance it out. First flying lap, lost it at the apex of turn 1 and went sliding into the center of the track. Cracked the front bar in ma

It's been a full on year for sure. My Son was born January 21st so racing had to take a bit of a backseat. I focused on winning 1 sprint series for the year with 6 races. There's only 1 race left for the year and I've won 5/5. Here's whats been happening New sideskirts finished. Lighter than stock and help channel air away from the front wheels.

Just read from start to finish The attention to detail is ridiculous and nothing but purposeful, tasteful mods... I'm very interested in the modifications made to your rear diff to shim camber and toe. Any chance you could pm me some more pictures and info? If you have any plans for your baffled sump I'd be keen too. I run a sump that is welded around 3/4 the perimeter of the plate but have just lost a forged 5e due to oil starvation through corners. Is your sump effective or did you still find you had to consistantly run more oil in it? I'm looking at the morrosso accusump setups at

Thanks guys. Weather is almost always like this. After Jap nats, I've rebuilt another gearbox + new seals and bearings. Got the clutch checked and master cylinder checked. Also had the clutch slave cylinder sleeved down one size to increase the throw on the clutch. Ive always had trouble with the clutch never fully disengaging and this seems to have solved it. Also finished the dive planes on the front splitter. Replaced the rubber trim on the air dam with aluminium which saved about 1.5kg and also allowed me to shave another 40mm off the lip while keeping the same size. Cannards are very

Went out on fresh Tires yesterday. Taking it easy scrubbing them in saw the car go a second faster than previous PB. The car now has horrendous understeer. I think the increase in camber and stiffer front springs has stopped the car rolling over as well. The car felt extremley stable though. Pretty happy with the aero. Just needs a few more suspension tweeks. Unfortunately the dash decided to reject the 2gb memory card and not record anything. Updated the firmware and put in a new card. Should be fixed now Zuboo had a steer in session 3 and knocked another second off the lap times, even w

Since Jamboree I've been busy converting the car back to circuit spec and working on some aero. Ill be out testing at Queenland raceway this saturday and again next wednesday night. The splitter clips onto the under body brace and then 4 d zeus clips hold it on. I can stand on it so it should hold a significant amount of weight. Rear wing is a 2d 57" carbon item. If testing issuccessful, Ill duplicate it in carbon. Data logging should show how much speed I loose down the main straight with drag vrs any increase in corner speed.

Jamboree came up last month so I decided to change it back to drag for a day. I made the the quarter finals but a worn 2nd gear synchro saw me knocked out. I got a shared light of the night with a 0.001 second reaction time. Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LB4I7aDU6-M&feature=youtu.be

Been working on refining the setup for time attack lately. Finally finished the front of the cage and painted the interior. Stripped more wiring and installed proper headlights for night racing.

Brakes finally arrived. 280mm discs with willwood 4 pots and carbon metallic pads. Buddyclubs and slicks. Decals removed ready for new graphics!
