i think its an increase of 2-3 degrees in boiling point per psi of pressurized coolant. is temp an issue during the first session? any idea how much your oil/coolant cool off between sessions? i use forscan between sessions to run the fans at high speed while idling.
you can only stack so many heat exchangers infront of one another. If diff coolers with a fan work without being in the front why wouldn't an oil cooler underneath work? Might need custom length hoses.
If someone wanted to do an experiment buy a cheap arduino computer that can do 4 thermocouple...
i haven't got a overtemp issue during any sessions, granted RA is much more demanding than the 2.5m course i've drove. No cooling mods other than driving with the heat on :cwl::shock:. hopefully those vents help get hot air created by the turbo out of the engine bay.
I'm switching over from...
i ran stage 1 91 on 93 for three 20 min sessions. the tune seems to be able to adjust to high post IC temps (140F), high coolant (230)/oil temps(275). if you have an AP you can definitely record for 1 hours worth at least. Here's two charts i made from a log. Ignition corrections seemed pretty...
That's commitment. The way the weather is now it might still be reasonably cool at the end of the month. Are you going to record your sessions? Haven't seen any videos of ecoboosts at RA
good work. would be cool to have some logic based programming so that it's not its not activated when your foot is on the brake while at a stop. Maybe even having it activated while coming out of a slow corner while accelerating hard
oh good maybe i'll have an easier time selling my 4 pots now. Assuming the new ones are direct replacement for old style ones? Got a P/n for new rotors? I'm a little surprised there isn't a QR code on them.
i dont know if the intake is worth it. more area on a filter is good but i don't think the open element is as good as a closed box. could spend that money elsewhere. maybe a better flowing tube from the airbox to the turbo would be better.
these are all the PCM parameters on my ecoboost that i can control with forscan. you can manually set the rpm to any level. Not very practical to hook up a laptop every time to get a quieter start though. Use at own discretion
if you have forscan, or know someone locally with it you can control the fans. If you command the low speed fan off and it doesn't shut off then there could be a relay problem. i use the high speed control when sitting in the pits between track sessions.
