I did one mid last year after having it for almost two years and the results were within the running averages of other cars. Little to no traces of chromium and aluminum in the oil.
3 years. 30k miles procharged @14-16lbs. Tons of track passes and no OPGs. No failures with the power plant except the drivetrain. Broken axles and trans. Went BC3 and upgraded axles. However I will be doing upgrades to engine starting with head studs and since itās already torn apart I might as...
I agree with @Roush05 and would also add a 3 jaw puller for the crank pulley and a balancer install bolt to make it easier to reinstall the new balancer. Youāll probably need some new coolant also or just dump it all into a clean bucket.
You get used to the noise to the point where I barely notice it sometimes. Iāve had my stage 3 for about 8k mi. I donāt think it really quiets down. Itās not as loud as everyone thinks it is, well at least I donāt think so but then again my corsas kind of masks over everything.
Or find one used.. these āstreet carā drag racers probably still have their ac compressors sitting on a shelf somewhere. Thatās what Iām doing because mine went out also.
Unless you want to bring your laptop everywhere. Thereās a button on the box that you can do on the fly adjustments to your settings.
Iām lazy and just tuck mine into the glove box so that when Iām adjusting setting I can reach over and grab it to press the button.
