Street tuned and dyno tuned if we must. But I would prefer a street tune and I think that is the way Kane prefers it as well. There are lots of good spots around here so it shouldn't be a problem.

 

Next time I want both done. Great update on the first post. Should help anyone thinking of bossting this car

 

Thanks, I keep re-reading it to see if I forgot anything

 

Nice update! lots of great info.

 

Only correction I have is that the turbine wheel stays the same size, they don't upgrade that just the compressor wheel.

 

I think will is the appropriate response

 

Lies. My turbine wheel is a special Ubantium 72mm unit. You just can't tell in the pics



J/K. Nice catch.


I wasn't sure if you had gotten your request approved or not

 

oh yea...cause kane is friends with her step brother

score....now if I could just get tint....its getting hot outside

 

, Okay cool. I am just waiting to make sure his leave is approved for those dates before we buy the tickets, etc.

 

 

cool, like 3+ weeks?

 

Yep, shooting for July 21st.

 

sweet...we can chat sunday

 

Here is a crappy cell phone pic of my PLX multigauge. I am running AFR on it now but plan on running boost, EGT, and IAT on it as well. The third slot will be another Prosport Volt gauge. I will be adding the visors for all three, i know it looks weird with only one on

Update:

With the new FAL fans my IAT's seem to be much higher in traffic. But also it has been over 100F here lately too so that definitely does not help. But I do think a shield is needed between the fans and intake piping. I am going to experiment with some plastic shielding and see if it makes a difference.

 

I think you should wrap your piping a bit better. Like the cold air intake wrap by dei.

 

do the gold dei wrap

 

Yeah I played with that stuff you have a bit but it's a hassle to wrap it and secure it properly and it looks like **** in the engine bay.

I have the MAF and MAF housing already wrapped in DEI Cool tape. It helps, my IAT's are/were generally pretty low but I guess the fan push much more hot air onto the MAF housing than the previous setup did.

 

i just went through the same thing.

 

Same what?

 

increased iats due to fans being more active and the ambient temps going way up--it will be 101 here in Ga on Friday!
I had to add a little more shielding over the fans ( clearances between the fans and shield is the same) and finally moved my air filter outside the engine bay as my homemade "ram air" set up wasnt working anymore. The fans are stirring up to much air in the engine bay.
If you will notice iats will also depend on how open the throttle is! More throttle the more air flow and that results in it cooling off.
We just need to drive "flat out"!

 

Yeah my filter is out of the engine bay and before I would stay within 10F of ambient but now at slows speeds and when stopped they shoot up to 30-40F above ambient. At speed they drop like a rock. I am going to try and figure something out this weekend.

 

HA-- I dont have that intercooler to worry about!!
Welcome to the FI club--there is ALWAYS something to do..........

 

Yeah the inter-cooler may have to be moved at some point so I can use the bottom portion of the MS/AEM intake and the much larger filter.

 

I like the intercooler cooler idea.
