Sooo, been playing all day ......and yet the turbo line still cooks and sputters ! I am now starting to believe the i.d. of the lines I`m using is perhaps too small. 6mm.
It does circulate when hot, took the pipes off and checked, constant flow. I believe it may just need more volume..

Went to buy an Gopro 3 on Saturday but they only had the white with no accessories for stupid money !
I have asked Rezlo for one but Ill see if he is talking to me yet.. :wink: Asked for one a few months back but he did not reply.

Here she was running at 0.7 bar boost. Was very nice and drivable.

Chris`s GTr was no problem on the day.. 8)

What the additional power has done is made me aware of the suspension stuff I have in the car. It has survived a track day and some hooligan stuff but It squirms under your butt when you pull full power acceleration.
I need to remove it all and inspect the suspension stuff. Make sure if you kn :!: ow what I mean..

Spent today making rails for the Sparco seat. Sh*t ! What a job.
But then I am also to blame, you can probably tow a bulldozer with these ! That`s fine, no getting hurt if I fall off..

I`m also probably fitting a half cage shortly. You play race driver with slicks, shit can go wrong very very quickly !

Hey ! Passop vir jou ...! :D :D Kom jy volgende week ? Moet jou kar ommie baan sit .

Update.
Managed to buy a rad cap without any gubbuns in it, no spring and stuff. Just what I was looking for as I have changed my cooling system to a fully bled header tank system.
Works great , so why did my car get hot on the test drive? Said rad cap is a piece of chinky shit !!! Make s me crazy ! It tore the "rubber" seal as I put it on, thats how k*k they make these things today !
So stuff it, I grabbed a piece of ally and quickly machined a bung with a proper "o" ring for the radiator. Works a treat ! Simply used a worm clamp with bent over sides to hold it, no probs. Now my temps do not go over 82 deg C on the open road and when I start pushing her , no more than 85. Just what I wanted.
In stop go traffic it will go up to 90 deg C before the fan pulls in, if I was still running the viscous and fan she would stay at 82..Im happy with her.

Having taken the pic today I see that I need to notch the clamp on one side. These posts are more useful than what I thought.. :wink:
