I need to do a bit of testing for my boost control, and there is only so much i can do on the roadso was looking for a track session - Blyton is on tis saturday (10th oct) so If the weather forecast holds out I plan to be there. Not going to book before thursday though, as I want to keep an eye on the weather...
Looking at the entry list its mainly Alfa's that will be there, so should be a good day.
Just posting incase anyone else is interested......

The idea will be to work on the boost control - not maximum power! The Engine is mapped to 200kpa and I wont be going past that, not even if the Skyline wants to play! I know it will handle 240kpa, so I think that should be enough safety....Originally Posted by LM mic
No problem Bob - its a very last minute thing anyway....
Ok so change of plans....... I wont be at blyton on Saturday...
I have decided to do a test day on Tuesday 13th instead. Makes more sense to book a test day so I can do what testing I like rather than to try and fit in the testing around other users on the track...
Neil this is amuch more ... "professional " decision ; so you could compare variuos settings and do all your test one after anothere musch more significant that going into a crowdy track day test !!!
yes definitely more professional- originally it was just me, so the track day would have done, but now I am taking my 'tuner' to do some proper testing- so it had to be a test day
Had a good time testing yesterday at Blyton, there were only 2 other cars there, so basically when I was on track there was only me there, so I could do what I wanted to
It was wet in the morning, so that was a perfect opportunity to start testing the Traction control, naturally that involved a few spins, but a few adustments got that sorted, and its working well. Initially the control was done by ignition cut & retard, but found that controlling the throttle worked better & the ignition/fuel cut was left in only if the slip wasnt controlled by the DBW throttle changes.
It was also seen that the exhaust was flaming far too much (even for me). I had actually noticed that it was flaming a little too much when I had been driving the car at night- the flame was visible in the mirrors!!! The Over run fuel cut was adjusted & the flame size was reduced to a more reasonable size
It was dry in the afternoon and we got the boost control set up really follow the target perfectly. Also added boost trims by gear.
Very happy with the car now
Hello Neil
well done !!
That's a really good improvment day and result is at the level the work you did !!
There are a few tweaks left for me to do, like setting temperature related rev limits for when the engine is cold or too hot, but thats just a case of filling in the tables...
Also I found the oil temp is a bit high (135-140C) so need to improve the cooling & 2 of the EGT thermocouples have failed, so I need to look at some better quality ones....
OH! and the rear tyres are now without tread!
Checked the plugs today & they all look good....
