  1. What do you run for oil?

    HPL (high performance lubricants) 5w40 or 0w40 HPL Euro Or the super car variant. Very high quality base oils and add packs. Fleet use pushes these oils out to 20k+. Few individuals on bitog taking the oil the full distance with oil samples to 30k+ on one change. Several report heavy track...
  2. Injector Flow Calculation [Advanced-ish Tech]

    Thanks for sharing, solid info. On the Cobrajet they force the min pw high enough that it's always using the hi slope with the dw95's. Gen2 this needs a bit of tweaking if using stock pump control/basket. Gen3 probably not as much. Dw data is horrible imho, at least for these injectors. Would...
  3. Ben Calimer Stage 4 MT-82

    Seems reasonable enough if it shifts well. Local shop charges $500 for all the brass bits and full carbon synchros on an mt82. $600 labor and then extra for what ever sliders or gears have damage. A new in the box from tremec T56 XL is $3500. Believe McLeod came out with a bell housing adapter...
  4. T56 magnum xl swap

    Hows that trans compared to the mt82?
  5. Ben Calimer Stage 4 MT-82

    At that price point I don't know that I could keep the mt82. $4500+ $750 for the SVE driveshaft and your running a brand new t56. Lot more options for rebuilds and upgrades later too. At least you have the clutch spline ready if it doesn't hold. Hopefully the popping out of gear doesn't keep...
  6. Question about a Tune on a 2015 RS2 Roush

    Doesn't sound like roush naming. What's the warm idle rpm or redline when doing a pull? If no cats, no cels and no o2 cheaters, likely not stock. Roush stock is 625 rpm and 7000 rpm.
  7. My Custom Hellion Turbo Kit Build

    In wouldn't consider any of that needed for a waste gate on a street car and highly debatable for track use. Sounds much more like marketing that everything has to be a benefit. The coking has been an age old selling point for anything that might cool the turbo, remember turbo timers? Nothing...
  8. My Custom Hellion Turbo Kit Build

    Cooled gates must be newer, was never an issue in decades past so long as you had a quality brand. Turbos have been tracked for decades. I wouldn't want a stable 600+ degree temp differential being fed into the cooling system for a street car. That just seems dumb. Wonder what the real...
  9. 2017 GT - Odd Ticking

    Give it 500 miles and see if it reduces or goes away. Would love to know what's causing it but mine does the same for the first 500 or so miles after an oil change if I don't put ceratec in. Even using costly HPL oil. Penn ultra plat is supposed to be one oil that for what ever reason, the...
  10. 2017 GT - Odd Ticking

    Was the oil just changed? Sounds like the BBQ tic
  11. ESS actual needs vs wants?

    For a "mild" (6-700whp) pump gas car to be enjoyed on the street and wanting to know and feel the supercharger at low to mid throttle a PD setup is the answer. You just can't beat the area under the curve which impacts 90-95% of where most people drive. You know it's there, you can feel it every...
  12. Having a significant amount of knock after supercharger install *fixed*

    What happens next? Reconnect power and reflash? Or more indepth recovery? I didn't think a bad write/ flash was possible.
  13. Boost by Gear with OEM Logic

    This method is better than air load alone, will let the PCM use it's normal logic path to decide how. Tb(air load) reduction, spark, enleanment etc or combination the three as needed. Benefit here is small reduction using spark is far quicker than reducing moving air.
  14. [Yet another] how do we make cats live thread...

    Nice find. I wonder what the gt500, hellcat and z06/zr1 cals do with this parameter.
  15. Having a significant amount of knock after supercharger install *fixed*

    Use 3rd and start with a 2500 to 5000rpm range. Check it's getting fuel and timing then go for full rpm range. 1/2 are usually to short to get meaningful data points depending on channel selection and rate. 4 or 5th would be better but speeds can get into go to jail levels at some point. You...
  16. Swapping Back to 93

    This. No point in flashing until the fuel trims show the 20-30% swing. Poor starts would be avoided everytime. I drive all the way home and load the tune there. Usually 10-15+ minutes of driving depending on lights. Drive it like a Camry and it won't matter. From e to 93 or 93 to e.
  17. Tuning advice for 2015 Roush RS2.

    Should pretty easily. 80mm pump 93 and tune with moderate timing should be bit over 600-640 whp. Id add just a tune for what you have on the 85mm and pulley down after. You may be content. Very reliable at that point and keeps the timing higher on pump gas. Having to pull timing pushes more...
  18. Weird cold start up

    Benefit of this for e85 is easier initial starts the colder it gets. E85 lights off easier closer to TDC until some heat is in the chamber. The low or negative timing really helps the first 5-10 seconds on a cold start I'm finding with e85.
  19. PCMTEC Power By Gear MT-82

    I struggled getting above the 748ftlb limit on the DD tables once Wot was requested with throttle settings similar to the Ecoboost. Tq limited via tb just fine but would no longer request enough tq to open it 100%. I was going to hack the tq tables a bit but figured I was missing other...
  20. COUPLE ISSUES- LOCKED CAM ESS SETUP

    What a pain, Somethings feeding the ECU a reason in the block chain to reduce fuel. Assuming no bad sensors or mechanical fault, wonder if there's something off with the ratios/ final drive or even speed limit settings. Wonder if there's any abs or speed sensor readings that are not as they...
