Mapping Rains car...



Well, Today we had a nice dry day, so we put the plates on Rains car, and took it out for "live" mapping. Houdachi driving, Isono san mapping and me sat in the back filming (video coming)
本日快晴につき、謎の富豪ライアンさんのエンジンにプレートを打ちつけ、セッティングに行ってきました。
First impression is.....OMG
後日動画でも紹介いたしますが・・・

Second impression is OMG....why does it pull so well?
トルクスゴイ!

Differences and problems with originality:
The full counter engine with race head doesnt sound like any other RB I have heard. The engine has almost an N/A tune to it, not too disimilar to the sound of the straight six BMW had in their flagships saloons....but then the turbos kick in and your reminded (and quite quickly I might add) that there is 2 industrial hairdryers blowing alot of air into the engine :)....bloody hell the car is fast and thats with 3 people.......and It gets better....and worse :( .....lets do the worst first....
We mapped the car on different boost levels, 1.1/1.2/1.3/1.4/1.5kgm
Every boost setting up until 1.4kgm was fine....then when we tried we couldnt believe it, a little clutch slip, which we were shocked as Nismo quote 670ps and 84kgfm of torque, perhaps the clutch is over rated?
So....
Isono san wanted to get the data at 1.5bar (the movie will be uploaded tomorrow) but the clutch slipped alot.
Other parts that may not help the nismo clutch is the R34 GTR transmisson coupled with the R32 final drive ration of 4.1 makes for a very responsive car, and very aggressive torque delivery from low down RPM,
The good news was, I couldnt believe this is only a 2770cc engine......even at the boost setting of 1.3bar, the car pulled like a train,
RAIN san also has the privilege of owning the very rare R34 GTR Z-Tune......which we set as a bench mark and today I feel we beat it. We got the data for 1.5bar boost, and the car will go for final setting on the rollers at other endless shop.

ブースト1,4kgくらいまでは非常に快調に飛んでいくんですが、1,5kgになると滑りましたよー、nismoのカッパーミックス!
お客様たっての希望で(反対を押し切られw)取り付けたものの・・・やっぱりこのくらいの車になると、トリプルくらいあったほうが良いです。
それでも2,7lエンジンとは思えないほどぐいぐい引っ張ります。完成が楽しみな一台です!


QUESTION: Why is this so different from the others cars we have made?

ANSWER: Rain wanted everything that is found one of our wild race cars.....then asked us to tame/muzzled it and put in his daily driver, its not something thats done very often and I feel we pulled it off well......but it still has bite, which the Nismo twin clutch found out ;) here is the spec of the beast...or be it tamed beast.
