Decades ago we would have been all over picking up 25 horsepower here, and 14 there.
Now everybody is like, "That's nothing. What a waste of money. Just bolt on a whipple and do 875 hp."
🤣
Not sure what to tell you.
I had to let more air out after the second session and again after the third session, each session I was learning to pick up more speed as I learned the track and listened carefully to the excellent instructor and did everything he said. By the third session he was...
Oh, sorry. I guess I should have been careful to communicate better. I am not seeing any fluctuation. None. Zero.
The fluctuations I posted where what I expect hypothetically a plus or minus 3 psi issue would be in the real world.
My gauge is steady. Needle gives me a reading. I press...
Are you saying that there is a 6 psi swing in tire pressure? If so, wouldn't I notice that when I check my tire pressure with my handy-dandy cheapo gauge? It shows 35, so I lower, check again, and it shows 40, lower, check again, and it shows, 29? What? So I check again and it shows 35...
I know you are probably joking, but the GT3RS is one of the best track cars ever developed by any company anywhere in the world. It is way out of my budget, but if I was a ultra-wealthy, I would probably own one.
Or worse life choices! This is the most expensive car I have ever purchased in my life. I could have purchased a $5k beater and invested the rest! LOL! 🤣
I found this discussion (2jz forum) where an engine builder is mentioning that you can tighten the ring gap a little using E85, but it depends upon boost and power level, as more power = more heat...
The most reliable coolant temp reduction from E85 on track I could find was one poster who stated 3° C (going off memory, so I could be wrong). Mainly I found lots of speculation, and, like you said, coolant temps just cruising around on the street, which is not particularly relevant to...
I also found a track guy over at TrackMustangs running turbos and seemingly solved the heat issues. I am going to ask him some, but his car is a full on trailered track car with lots and lots of mods, so I am not sure how much information can be useful to my more stock application. There is...
True, but the heat in the chamber and cylinder wall and rings will continue to build over that 20 minutes. It just is not the same as drag racing. E85 will limit the heat build up on the rings. Lower boost will also limit the heat build up (a sort of obvious statement, but, well, there it...
I have driven in Italy, but never in Greece, so I will have to take your word for it.
Generally speaking, in Europe drivers try to get out of the way of faster drivers, especially in German, where I lived for two years. It sort of spoiled me and perhaps drives me a little more crazy in the USA...
