Thanks for the comparison.
So seems that for track usage where the car is always under load... it is not making the IAT cooler.
Only cools down faster when after some fun, you cruise along :)
I hope you can make it. Maybe by october... COVID19 lockdown again in Europe (numbers aren't looking that good in whole of Europe due to summer season)
We will see which restrictions the lockdown will have.
On-topic: Let's see those "before and after"-numbers people haha :)
Optimal oil temperature is around 100 degrees celcius (so around 210 Fahrenheit).
Taking into account that this temperature needs to be reached during normal driving in traffic, means that under track conditations... 260 Fahrenheit is normal and not such a big deal (always cool your engine down...
Those temperatures can be normal on a trackday. Depending on the weather, session length, "abusage" of the car :).
Keep in mind that every car is made to drive on the road. Meaning they are configured to get their temperature up at a normal level as fast as possible.
If it would be running...
Well yes that is what I was referring to.
Your baseline is 65 degrees as a 'normal heat condition', so you should compare it with that number under the same stress.
I don't care about numbers under normal driving. Only about what the temperatures are under heavy load (race track) or during...
Wouldn't that sound a little bit odd?
I mean: a sensor should be a sensor :)
The point where it is measured can be different, but I assume that a sensor on a car... is at the correct place to make sure the engine is not overheating.
Curious about the reply. As the ECU will take into account...
Hopefully not indeed, because:
In the rear you are ok: +0.4% compared to standard
But in the front, you are way off: +2.7% compared to standard
So the car will receive information that your rear tires are spinning faster than the front ones.
The result could be that the car thinks the rear is...
Would love to see the difference in temperature under load as well to compare stock vs csf :)
You are in the right country for that. Heat and humidity :)
With just a downpipe and standard stage 2 ECU map, most tuners end up indeed around the 480HP level (for our American friends, it is also engine HP for Litchfield). You can further stretch the standard turbo till around 520HP on 93 octane, but that is the upper limit.
I can compare perfectly...
I don't think an exhaust would increase the HP with a big jump. Still running on all EU cats besides the one in the downpipe.
Using it as a daily drive, last thing I want is a noisy exhaust. Maybe one day I will fit one, who knows :)
I love the fact that which just a downpipe and turbo... those...
To be honoust, not an expert in that matter, but indeed it is to increase the offset (read: space between hub and wheel, making the wheel go more to the outside)
Perhaps another member has a more in-depth knowledge.
Personally, I would never run spacers, even if they are made from good materials.
I am running the following specifications on a car lowered with HKS springs
Wheels: BCforged MLE81 - Fronts are 19x9.5" ET22 ; Rears are 19x11" ET35
Tires: Michelin Pilot sport 4S - Fronts 265/35/19 ; Rears 285/35/19
No rubbing at all. Perfect fitment due to the adjustable height of the HKS...
