2254 Miles, 19 laps of the Ring, Loads of fuel and beer and general awesomeness!

Spent most of my laps around the 9 min mark hustling stuff that shouldn't be passed by a Fiesta LOL.









Was very wet on Friday night so i braved it for two laps too see how little grip there is LOL



Saturday was drier and the track was open all day but we did get a couple of closures due to accidents. Still managed to do 6 laps though which is good going considering how busy the track was.




Sunday was a little busy in the morning but it soon quietened down and there was only one closure. Done 11 laps and got a couple of them on my Go pro

ST? lulz


Got it on 2 Wheels coming out of Kleine Karrussel on one of my faster laps


Got some air at Pflantzgarten


Couple of my Laps:

9.14 BTG

9.15 BTG

Thats the fastest i got on video, Did do a 8.58 according to my GPS timer though, will do Sub 9 min laps all day if there is no traffic etc so I'm very happy with how it performed, Really annoyed some Clio 1*2's/197's/200's and a few M3's/Porkers :laugh: ]]> Motoring Chat -Jamie- http://www.sxoc.com/vbb/showthread.php?529798-Nurburgring-9th-15th-May-Photos http://www.sxoc.com/vbb/showthread.php?529797-Has-anyone-put-a-different-seat-into-a-micra&goto=newpost Fri, 18 May 2012 12:00:09 GMT Im loving the K11 ive bought off pete.

Seems to be some debate between the common 0.625 and 0.7 size. Also people fitting them and it being no more powerful than the standard one?
Anyone with any ideas?

Is there a hard and fast guideline as to how much of an air gap I need to leave around the unit? I've seen figures of anywhere between one and 4 inches!

I'm new here and I was just wondering if anyone could help me with this problem my car has just developed!

Sr20det s14
Hard piped fmic
Turbo mani
All 3inch eggsauce system
Hks filter
13psi t25

As the car warms up to its normal operating temperature it starts to miss when boosting.
The warmer it gets, the worst it gets too!
I not sure on what could be causing this.
My first thoughts would be plugs, coils?

Just wondering if someone could point me in the right direction :) ]]> Technical - S14 Matfurio http://www.sxoc.com/vbb/showthread.php?529785-Missing-on-boost-( http://www.sxoc.com/vbb/showthread.php?529784-Weird-noise-on-startup&goto=newpost Fri, 18 May 2012 07:28:20 GMT Hi!

So the case is the following:

- Big end was rebuilt 1350 km's ago (new oil pump, big end bearings, etc.)
- The egine is ran in now
- Changed the oil and filter about 300 km's ago (10w50 Fuchs titan pro s, during the run in period it had 10w40 motul semi syntethic)
- Engine is stock

After the oil change (can't remember if it did it before the rebuild, or during the run is :S) the car started to make a weird noise on startup. I made a video yesterday, but the mic couldn't really record it well, I'll try to make a normal one later today.
So the noise: the car produces it mostly when the engine is cold, and I haven't used it for a few hours at least. If I didn't use the car for days, the noise is louder, and happens for about 2 seconds. If I used the car that day earlier, but let it cool down for a few hours, the noise is still there, but not as loud and not for that long (circa 1 second).
Somehow I think it is in connection with oil, oil pickup, or oil starvation in the head, and it takes a while to build the pressure up there. Oil level is on maximum.

I'll make a proper video later today.

Thanks in advance!

Cheers

Now my small 83mm CA18det is running 2860RS @1 bar .

Wiseco 83.0 mm Forged Pistons
K1 Forged Rods
ACL Race Main & Rod Bearings ( 0.25 )
ARP Head Studs
Cometic Head Gasket
New Oem Oil pomp
New Oem Water pomp
Custom exhaust manifold
XS racing turbo elbow
Garrett GT2860RS-5 .64ar
Port polish
Aem 80mm Dry Flow Filtre
9 liter Front Mount Intercooler
Walbro 255lph benzin pompasi
550cc DSM injectors
NGK BCPR7ES Sparks
bronze Valve guides
HKS SSQv BOV
76MM single piece straight exhaust pipe
XForce Varex 76mm Exhaust
Nismo Type-A Fuel Reg.
Splitfire Coil Pack

Power FC

etc..



Now my 1st pistons oil valve seals are dead. so i'm going to open up my engine head. And want to rebuild / tune my head specs for my needs.

Goals : Faster turbo response / more Mid-high range torque . Also capable for high level boost.

Now i'm running with stock valves , hydro lifters with stock cam shafts ( 4 port head )


As my researches , there is a 2 main roads to follow .

1- Stay with stock lifters with HKS/Tomei 8.5lift cam shafts with customisable cam gears.

2- Solid lifters , new set of valve springs retainers seats . with more aggressive cam shafts like tomei procams 9.5 lift etc.


Thats my first head design , so please be gentle and suggest me brands and datas.


i'm using car for drifting only. So faster response and mid-high range torque is my main goal ..

Budget is not limited , but i'm not planning to pass over 1500 $ or so .
