SPOHN'S Journal II Track Demon Reborn

SPOHN · 12-30-2013, 10:23 AM

It's just so expensive when adding all the sensors. I do like Kevin car. It is sweet. Course when I add up what I have in gauges it's about half way. Plus it has more functions.

I don't think you can run e.g. Motec with VHR heads either, at least not easily for controlling VVEL and all that, right?

djtodd · 12-30-2013, 12:17 PM

Good question. I was mainly thinking for datalogging with aim, but isn't Vvel controlled by a piggyback unit?

SPOHN · 12-30-2013, 12:41 PM

I believe there is little adjustment threw Uprev but some are scared of it. Z1 plays with a little. But for data logging would be nice. Not sure all about the options are offered with that system. Or if it even plays a role in tuning.

wstar · 12-30-2013, 01:29 PM

Oh I was referring to Motec as a full replacement ECU hooked up to the stock sensors/controls, I thought that's what you two were talking about.

SPOHN · 12-30-2013, 03:16 PM

I believe it's more of a all in one data box for all your heads up display. Plus some.

Sh0velMan · 12-30-2013, 03:24 PM

They make both.

wstar · 12-30-2013, 03:36 PM

Yeah I was talking about something like this: MoTeC > M800 > Overview

SPOHN · 12-30-2013, 09:41 PM

Rear quarter panel windows removed. Will be replacing with lexan also. Doors fully gutted to the max.

wstar · 12-30-2013, 10:36 PM

Those rear quarters look like great places to mount NACA ducts, I think travisjb had a scoop on one of his with a NACA underneath, or something, but IMHO just the NACA opening by itself would be good and less wind resistance. I think in the long run I might put one on each side, and run one fresh air hose down towards the trunk area for diff cooler airflow, and use the other as fresh air flow for a Cool Shirt type system and/or helmet duct.

Haven't had them off the 370 but man are the doors heavy on the 350. So much to be gained there!

Mike · 12-31-2013, 10:04 AM

the 370 doors are much lighter than the 350.

They're not steel are they? Ours are aluminium.

Mike · 01-02-2014, 08:33 PM

yeah, I had to replace one after a mishap at VIR and we were shocked at how little they weigh. Aluminum FTW!
