Race Tracking Your Supra - Information exchange

[Kiske]

Y'all have talked me into a 777 hood vent and an intake manifold. Thanks a lot... :/

Where do u guys put your suspension canisters/reservoirs? Front n back. Looking for ideas and to cut the least..

Like 1/2 way down is a decent solution for the fronts. There is tons of places in the rear.

Just make sure you get the CF version, the abs version warped from heat the first event for me. Many others have had issues with it as well.

777 have great ideas and marketing, however the build quality and materials need some maturity.

The vent works! I got to do a couple of afternoon sessions at a track event today, it was just over 80 degrees out. Today is the first time since owning the car that I could do a full session without any power cut or oil hitting 300F, both of which would 100% have happened before the vent. It's also the first time I've actually seen the oil temps recover after getting hot without taking a break. Always nice for work to pay off!

EDIT:
Looked back at some data, so basically, here:

Pre-vent
Ambient temp: 72°F
Within 6 minutes (a few 1.8 mile laps):
Oil: 302°
Coolant: 237°
IAT: 138°
Obviously, power was cut, a lot, cooldown(s) required or exit session early

Post-vent
Ambient temp: 80-82°F
Entire 20 minute session, 3.1 mile course, no traffic, full send
Oil: maxed at 293°, but would actually bounce around between that and 275°, which is a first
Coolant: maxed at 235°
IAT: maxed at 135°
No power cuts!

Between these two track days, the only thing different is the Triple Seven hood vent. All else is the same. Stock tune. Other relevant mods are an AMS Manifold and CSF Hx, aux rads, and trans cooler

Are there any apps that I can use to monitor oil temps, IAT's, coolant temps, oil temps, etc with if I'm not tuned? I do have an OBDlink CX.

You can use the BM3 app to log even if you don't have a license/tune

Do I need anything other than the app and the OBDlink CX?

You'll need a wifi dongle for most of the tuning apps like BM3.

For OBDlink, you could use Bimmerlink for some of the normal datalogging items.

Oh summit. Go there a lot. Who was your instructor ?

Quy took me out the first couple sessions, then I did the next 2 with Mike. Didn't catch his last name, he drives a 5 series wagon.

I did, it was awesome. Thanks for the advice you gave me, I contacted you on discord via the SCCA a while back (ArrrrMatey).

My PB there was 1:30 in my WRX, I got a 1:27 in the Supra, which I felt good about. I know you and Quy can do a lot better I'm nervous about turning off TC; I ran with it full on the whole time. I definitely felt it cutting power a fair bit. I figure I can pick up at least another second once I turn it off.

Too late! [Sigh] they shipped out the black plastic on friday.

It's okay for now I suppose. The price difference will work for some trial and error testing. I'd love a full carbon hood at some point but, I am not dropping 4k until my ecu is unlocked and the engine is taken care of.
