Never Dyno’d, but must be something round that. Street tuned by myself. Was disappointing night all round but every one was struggling with the track lol.
My bro was telling me my launches were garbage 🤣. But it’s a fine line between crawling off the line and just spinning first two gears. Wednesday did a 12.3 @ 123mph and a 2.2 60ft @18psi. Last run was 12.1 @124mph 2.2 60ft @ 20psi. But spun all way in to 3rd. I’ve got the baby gtx so it spoils quick when walking off the line. Stalling above 1.5k not worth it with my tyres lol.
it’s done a 11.6@124mph before when tyres were newer and the track wasn’t so bad. But Wednesday was a skate park.
Tried to keep it sleeper, still has crossover pipe as well 🙃

Hahaha yeah that was me. I think I was literally behind your race.
-
Saw you down there. First time I’d been in years. I was the other xr50. Think we can all agree that motorplex is dog sh*t for prepping tracks on WAW nights.

Decided to lap the valves in the turbo. only took a few hours.

Wow, looks good. So to change the flapper you grind it off and weld the new one on?
Yeah, pretty much. They come with a "bulb" that slides on the shaft of the flapper that you can weld on.
That may be a little too large of a gap to not worry about. You may as well get a flapper and take it out to the max while you have it off. Leave a 1mm seat like me. Cost you all of $30-60 depending on where you get it from eBay.
-
Here's min. I did replace the flapper with a 37 or 38mm of ebay too thou.

They came with a picnic blanket as well... I have 2 sets still in their boxes. dont know why I've held on to them for 11 years :D

Nice to be able to get good amount of driving done on a tank while also having the option to haul ass.
The beauty of flex fuel is that if I want more power with out going full e85 can do e40-e60 and still get a decent chunk of kms while the tune sprinkles some more timing over the map :P

what's your kw and fuel economy for this?
Think atm of the top of my head, with an avg speed of 35kph im averaging around 15L/100. When I was doing longer freeway driving with average 40kph closer to 12L/100. And on longer country trips, still the same as stock as it's mostly off boost and cruising instantaneous sits at 7-8 when doing between 100-110.
But the thing is, once you mod, you stop caring about fuel consumption. it is going to be one of your lower costs on this journey even if you're paying $2/L for E85 like us over here in WA

Or is this me dreaming and I'll need to live with 25L+ per hundred?
I get around 23L/100 on e85 @ ~420kw
Anything over 350kw(maybe even lower) you struggle for grip. Even with 275 Bridgestone RE050 and soft rear MCA coilovers setup, I struggle.
I dont know what people are considering fast these days (assuming 10s w/ slicks @ 135+mph from the comments above)... But in street trim, 300rwkw should get you a low 12s at 115ish, 400rwkw will be a mid 11 in the 120s. On the street one of these will be hookup better than the other. and unless you regularly drive over 130kph you wont miss the extra power.
I drive mine as a daily, have several tune levels. low(15psi) mid(17psi) high(19psi) both in 98 and e85(high 21psi). The one that gets used the most is the low boost 98 tune. Even ramp the boost in slower to keep traction on the street.
Having said all that, once you start with more power you'll want even more... til the budget runs out/becomes harder to justify 😄

Just because of your name :P
-
You swap from the ZF to the 6R80 or the other way? If it's too the 6R80 I thought the 6R80 input shaft was supposed to be stronger?
Not that im going to do it. I'm a long way off the power, ~400kw. But just curious. If it does go bang at some stage its something I'd look at.
PS this thing is off chops. good work man!

Yeah you might as well go the 6R80 especially since you are changing the convertor anyway.
Is this just a matter of switching your ZF TCM to the 6R80 or more to it?

No issues with it in closed loop? Doesn't shoosh (that's obviously the tech-a-nogical name) on and off like they used to do back in the early days under half to three quarter throttle?
that's only if the wastegate DC table isn't aligned with the Desired boost table. Puff isn't an amateur like arron

Nice work. I've yet to do a flat out 3/4 shift.
If you have hassles with 3-4 shift hanging/torque reduction issues hit me up. I can help you out with the zf tune. also it's reasonable that you've not tried this as its about a 170kph shift 😄

I see... I would think it would be well past making power by the time it starts knocking then
-
I still haven’t used my tuner need 😂. Being sitting on the desk for 8 months 😬
Question thou, would you expect to see any knock on e85? Will a car knock at all on ethanol?

Just to piss him off I might display RPM On the Dyno hahahaha
Finally we’ll be able to read your charts
Actually looking forward to some trustworthy data.

Take a read of this might give you a bit of an idea around other considerations that go along with the choice.
