the cool part of it is that they located who did the welds of that exhaust at the factory, and found out that 4 other exhaust welded by that person that week failed. So they recalled all exhaust and fired the woman
I had to locate a titanium welder once and take him to the track to weld a brand new GT3 akrapovic exhaust the blew one resonator cap at the track. Next morning he had to go again to weld the other side. lol.
Interesting. I do notice the car overload the front end sometimes, but it feels like it has too much grip on the rear. Maybe running bigger tires on the front could help launch the rear a bit more.
On street tires though, the car behaves more natural
In regards to the main topic:
Progress is not as fast as it was before, but always moving forward. I have implemented flex fuel in my patch, using ECT2 as analog input as Hondata did on the fk8.
I never had time to integrate the reflex+ via can, but I ended up makin my own board to control a...
I have both.
The EK can take a lot more beating and its a lot of fun, it´s not a K24 yet but it has a boosted F22 that does the job quite well. Can do around 500ish but it´s been detuned because otherwise it would be too much fun lol.
THe R runs on A60 tires, sticky pads etc its not an...
Well, lol, not on a straight line.
But it´s not just a matter of cooling the engine... The tires overheat, the transmission overheats, the brakes overheat, the bushings will soften, even the shocks... Any car that can keep the same pace for 10 laps is not going as fast as possible.
Of course I...
Well, the PWR seems to be a nice radiator and I have proper airflow to benefit from the high density track core.
I could try a different intercooler and maybe it helps a tiny little bit with airflow but I doubt it will make any sensible difference.
Also have you ever driven a 500hp on big ass...
along with a PWR radiator, an engine oil cooler, transmission oil cooler, low temp thermostat, lots of ethanol and many fueling mods to run a very rich tune and a catless downpipe, no.
lol.
But It's a lot better then stock and I put down over 500hp.
I can do like 1 lap with full power on a F1...
either 8100 x-cess or 300v, both on 5w40. And acdelco syncromesh on the transmission.
Unfortunately there aren't many good options in my country and even the trans oil has to -allegedly- be smuggled trough the border lol.
The one thing I can tell you for sure about oil is that a new cheap oil is better then a worn out expensive oil.
For this reason I change after every track day or 2000 miles of street use.
My car has 6000 miles and about 10 oil changes lol
I live in a very hot climate, my car has a lot of power and I track the car a lot.
0w20 is some emissions bullshit. Most cars on 0wXX are having many lubrication problems. Bmws are scratching head journals, even type R´s have a bad rep on the nurburgring because not only they overheat but they...
