Took the car out to Portland International Raceway with a local group of FR-S / BRZ Owners. This is the first time I have ever been on a track. Session 1 was raining like hell, but each session thereafter got better. Running BFG Comp2 ultra summer tires 225 front 255 rear 18". The videos below are as follows:

Session 2 (Ok Run - Look at the MAF and compare to next 2 videos) - NO ESC / Traction Control Fully On (Totally Blows) / Wet Track No Rain / Koni Suspension Setting Soft to Medium / 3/4 Tank of Gas at Start.

Session 3 (Pulling It Together -Look At that Hot Orange Plastic dip FRS at the start, Digital Assassin ) - ESC Activated / Traction Control VSC / Damp To Dry / Koni Suspension Setting medium hard / 2/3 Tank of Gas at Start.

Session 4 (The Hot Shit) - ESC Activated / Traction Control VSC / Dry / Koni Suspension Setting medium hard / Full Tank of Gas at Start.

ENJOY!

Looks like fun! Thanks for the video

Used the torque video sync computer program. Look up torque app on wiki and it will provide the tools and guide on how to export the video. In addition to the gauges you can overlay a map with the GPS data being recorded. Be advised the wifi device recording the video should be very close to your router. If the video download tends to hand. All videos were made using a Samsung tablet note 2. I found a phone mount capable of handling a tablet on complete accident at autozone.

So how did you feel it performed on the track? Looks like you had plenty of power down the straights!

Thanks for the vids and testing.

How did the battery / recharge system hold up during your sessions. Did you have boost available the whole time, part-time? Details please.

Thanks!

I wanna go on a track! We have no track.

Based on that pace I think he should of had full boost, especially if he has the dual charge system as well.

Speaking with Rob regarding the session. I used the boost strategically, but I think my engagement switch had shifted giving me at times a false engagement. Checked it last night and the bolt was loose. All in all it met my needs. Going to work with Rob regarding the heat generated on the aux battery booster. Outside of those item the unit performed as advertised. The only cars that passed me were a Shelby Mutang and Rx8 refitted with an ls2 v8.

Great to hear. Caught in testing, these are pretty minor issues. What ideas do you & Rob have in regards to fixes? You definitely seemed faster than most everything on the track at the same time in your 4th session. Great fun man.

I just complain and beat the hell out of the equipment. Rob diaappears for a few days and problem solved. A beautiful relationship.

So thats 17.4 psi @ 5523 rpm. 12.2 AFR 97.8% load 210.2 Deg F oil temp and 192.2 Deg F coolant temp.

I'd love to know the post compressor air temp.


Edit, I'm not sure if that's 17.4 psig or psia. I'm guessing it's psia which means it's about 4 psi.

There is a calculation you can do with input temp and boost to get compressed temp of the charge.

Not sure what it is but it shouldn't be hard to find.

It's the ideal gas law. But it's called ideal for a reason, it only works on paper. In the real world we have to add in various other heat sources. In the end, the forumla is basically useless for what you're talking about.
