ItĀ“s very doable, the code is there. Just need to borrow the sensor from an FK2, pin it on your ecu and do a few software changes. I have the software part of the solution ready to test, just didnĀ“t have the time or the will to do the other part.
You are correct. The system is built to warm up...
Well, yes, most of the flow go trough the radiator but the amount that circulate the parallel systems is not negletable. Anyone who turned on the heater at the track will know what I meanā¦ it makes a HUGE difference on temperature, in my case its the only way to do 2 full laps.
The hot water comes out of the head, then it has 5 possible paths:
To the radiator, then back to the engine
To the turbo, then back to the engine
To the transmission, then back to the engine
To the heater core, then back to the engine
To the throttle body then back to the engine.
See that...
car limps over 120C, sometimes it goes all the way to 125 then limps.
but keep in mind, anything over 100 is bad. 110 is as far as I would consider acceptable.
These cars have many design flaws that lead to overheating. Keep in mind car manufacturers are more interested in making the engine...
I have some spare time this week, so IĀ“m builing another radiator to fit behind the intercooler.
But when I stop to think about this, it pisses me off that is so hard to cool down a car that shouldnĀ“t have this problem to begin with.
I ordered the hondata fuel kit also so I can run at least...
I havenĀ“t tested the latest setup at the track, but another addition I made, other then the PWR and the HEL oil cooler, was divorcing the transmission from the water system.
Main reason for that is to remove parallel systems.
Keep in mind that if you plug all parallel systems and still run a...
well.. I donĀ“t have data but IĀ“ve had multiple turbo cars and never ran a water line. never had issues.
EGTĀ“s on our cars are low due to the headifold and I also run a lot of fuel so it might live.
Just avoid shuting the engine down imeadiately after beating the hell out of it and it should...
It seems like everyone is running the pracworks manifold, including many friends of mine, but I refuse to pay 2K$ on it and I really dislike the 180 bend on the runners.
So after some research I found this...
The 1.5L ecu is a bit tricky to work with, 99% of the tuners have no idea where to start so IĀ“m not surprised. The transmission can also be in the way but there are ways around it.
I donĀ“t have the 2022 1.5T in my market so IĀ“m not sure wether itĀ“s more complicated then the 10th gen but send me...
that never crossed my mind lol.
btw, testing flatshift last night and setting some base 100-200kph times on a friendĀ“s car
this tune is our base for trackdays, will probably push 30psi on a street tune to see if it can get to mid to high 7Ā“s
Also maybe 100rpm more and we could do it with...
