It was a gorgeous 90 degree day at CTMP just outside Toronto yesterday, and being at the track is always a blast. That said, I’ve had trouble the last two times I’ve been. I’m losing power in dramatic fashion, and sometimes in as little as two laps. According to the car’s own horsepower meter I’m making somewhere near 450hp (on a BM3 tune, stage 2, 93 oct) when everything is working just fine, but at some point during every session the car suddenly shuts off the power and I’m stuck with 260hp.
Sadly, I just don’t know what the issue is. There is no warning, no error message, no dash lights. The coolant temperature had never been an issue, but I swapped the remote radiators between track days for larger Koyo rads with the futile hope that would help, which it didn’t. The oil temperature was also well within reasonable tolerances. At my first track day of the year I didn’t have the tune and I also had no issues at all, so I see the writing on the wall here, but the truth is that I don’t want to give up the extra power if I don’t have to.
I’d be happy to hear any advice from someone more knowledgeable than me or somebody who has experienced a similar issue.
