What’s the part number off the belt

Hmm interesting, in industrial applications all the belts either V or timing belt (like gilmer) etc. have a spec given by the manufacturer of the belt for optimal performance. It’s often tighter than you would think. The spec is given in Hz normally, there are apps which use your smartphone mic but the best is an optical freq meter.

Wonder if…[Read more]

So if you tension it to the correct spec for the manufacturer of the belt it will be loud?

Ah cool, thanks. Never seen that mod before.

probably didn’t help that I was thinking normal 6PK type pulley haha

do you have any pics of this mod?

Btw the E40 was a cross over between LS1 pcm and the E38 ECM (has same processor as the LS1 but rest of the architecture is more like an E38) from memory the E40 talks on the VPW bus where as E38 is CAN which is why the VE would use a E38 as they are all CAN bus.

actually I’ve found the E40 to be way more picky than the E38. E55 which is the small Alloytec ECU fitted on the cal head is by far the worst. Whoever thought it was a good idea to mount an ECU filled with tiny hairsized wires to the head and subject it to all the vibrations of each running engine really needs a recalibration…

some E38’s end…[Read more]

Thanks guys, good to know a source of the pipe and bends.

Awesome stuff! Got any pics of the fretting?

BGF tyres look real tuff on a commodore haha.

where do you get 409 from? My local steel shop only has 316

So you machined in the castor/camber correction you wanted into the top adapter and cantered it in the strut plate? Not using the adjustable setup?

Are you keeping the urethane top mount and adjustable strut top plate?

Federal 595-RSRR is what I have from St George tyres, RSRR looks to be what Ian has too. They ‘feel’ soft and kinda sticky to touch. Haven’t driven on them yet.

Any reason for the split brands?

well not even ramping, just holding at a certain load point till it stabilises to get a reliable reading at the tailpipe. Unfortunately when you do that at higher power levels things start heat soaking rapidly etc. so its a moving goal post.

Its not really a closed loop, as the feedback isn’t used for any input apart from determining a…[Read more]

you would also need to factor in timelag if transient state, also response time of sensors and controller as well as output filtering (filtering transitent signal). Some of this can be removed if testing in true steady state but then you also have analogue offset in each wideband controller as well as the measurement device. Everything has to be…[Read more]
