Accidents always look really bad, I'd start a little higher. You gotta think about what a future owner would think hearing accident on a car thats meant to go fast. It might be cosmetic, but it just introduces so many what-ifs
I just think this entire thing is an excuse to get the 1.5T engine out of circulation so they don't have anymore class action suits. The EPA stuff is complete bs
So that confuses me then. Like we were talking about before, people run just an ic and canflex and make some pretty big gains. Does that mean that a catted DP isn't as impactful as ethanol? I feel like running an upgraded downpipe is always lauded as a big performance increase. Did you upgrade...
It's been a while since there was a proper review of all the intakes, but does the infinity design one have any problems? I had read in the past that Infinity design, eventuri, and gruppem all had caveats but were at the top of the performance ladder. I really like how the infinity looks bc of...
That's where I think the that neither is a good option, would be better off doing every other mod and getting those performance gains before the big stuff like the turbo and fuel. I feel like a turbo and fuel is what you do once you've exhausted the downpipe, intercooler, canbus route
First time I'm hearing about these. Have you seen anyone running them? Im holding off on rigid collars because they're such a pain to install, though they've shown to reduce nvh in my own vehicles.
That's what I thought too about you asking him, seems kinda rude, but I also don't know him personally so don't know if he'd be cool about it. Have you reached out to @Jester04, he does a ton of these too.
And yeah fully agree.
Have you tried it without the rmm to see if it's actually doing as much for the car? I'd be curious if it's a better alternative to an rmm if it didn't effect nvh that much
Did he ever respond to you about humzas @Unity Performance car in particular? Im basing a lot of my build off of the suggestions I've gotten from him in email. Interesting that Derrick said the hpfp would be the least of it given it's the most expensive part outside of a new turbo lol.
I'd...
I was referring to one of Derricks most recent posts on that top half.
And that's news to me since he has posts of FL5s pushing higher numbers without the an upgraded fuel system. Everything is custom so it could just be what you wanted specifically was better if it had more fuel. Again Id...
Fair enough, running e85 can definitely be a pain. You wouldnt need injectors or a hpfp to hit your goal though. Look over at some tuners posts and what they say, just a quick glance at imwtuneds page shows there's plenty of cars with just a little ethanol getting to that 400whp area. With...
Big word bub, feel bigger than me 😡😡😡
Jokes aside, I'm basing my naive take on imwtuneds various posts, a lot of non-upgrades turbo FL5s and de5s are pushing 380-400 on his dyno charts. Op also never mentioned whp, so I assumed
I know op said no e85 (and like you said too about pump gas), but...
Why don't you want to do an ethanol blend? Sounds like you're goals are super achievable on the stock turbo, and potentially the stock fuel system. You may actually keep some reliability keeping things stock, just so long as you're doing supporting mods right. Also a turbo alone doesn't warrant...
I was thinking that there could be potential to offset that 4 gallons if you were to repurpose the washer fluid reservoir. Won't have as much water but depending on where the drain/output of the reservoir is, it could be pretty easy to swap it back to normal after a track day (assuming you have...
Maybe this is a question that misses the mark, but if the intent is to keep the engine performing optimally on hot lap 3 or 4 of a track day, then would it also be possible that the added sprung mass from the water would undo any gains? Have you seen any changes on your lap time? I actually...
Have there been updates on that micro tube intercooler? I feel like it popped up, made a ruckus and I haven't heard it many people running it since. Did we ever get more testing?
