Iām assuming youāre running E85? Keep in mind alcohol needs heat to vaporize properly so you donāt have to go crazy with cooling. Agree 200+ degrees is not right. What intercooler pump are you running?
You should work on improving the efficiency of your engine so that you can get your boost number down. If Iām not mistaken your blower uses the Maggie/Eaton 2650 rotor pack, and that units efficiency drops off after 20 psi. Your obviously outside of that compressors efficiency island with...
FYI a deer strike is covered by comprehensive insurance, not collision. It shouldnāt result in any rate increases for you so might be worth taking a look at that.
Disagree. Brake fluid is hydroscopic and absorbs moisture. Any semi serious performance car should flush the fluid at least every other year. Otherwise that moisture corrodes components internally and lowers the fluid boiling point. No bueno!
Griotās Garage Track Spray is great for getting rubber slag off the car. I use it on the rear quarter panels of my Camaro after returning from the drag strip.
My wife is EXTREMELY detail oriented. Sheās a silversmith who makes jewelry from absolute scratch (shameless plug for The Striped Cat Metalworks if you want something nice for your lady friend haha) so she has infinitely more patience than meā¦and it still didnāt come out 100%. Itās better than...
Yes, I did it on my Mercedes. Itās a real bitch to get it right and hours of stitching. I suppose if your a Chinese girl that does it for a living it can come out mint. If youāre just a regular guy youāre going to hate life installing it. I had my wife help on mine and itās still not...
Apples to oranges. Not everyone drives EVs and EVs have zero impact on the supply chain. Meanwhile oil drives our entire economy, trucking & supply chain, and defense. Lower oil prices help people heat their homes in the Northeast. Those lower oil costs keep the cost of transporting food to...
Definitely not! Itās really just removing any residual water that the blower didnāt remove.
If itās been six years, get some Griots Garage engine bay cleaner and a soft brush to gently scrub it down first before rinsing and wipe down.
Yes, followed by blow dry & wipe down with a microfiber. The engine bay never has anything more than occasional dust or pollen so I donāt need anything āheavy dutyā to keep it clean. :)
C&R Tire in Worcester has the Hunter Revolution ātouchlessā tire mounting machine and the Hunter Elite road force balance machine. Theyāve done all my wheels and tires for nearly a decade on every car Iāve owned. Ask to see the guy who does the actual work (believe his name is Lou) and slip...
