Keep it coming! Love using Kevin's and your car as inspiration.

Well, I'm happy to report that there is a light at the end of the tunnel to the overheating issues. Tonight we went back out for testing with the lower scoop sealed up. A couple of rolled up t-shirts and duct tape did the trick. Another tid bit to mention is that temps were much colder than...

If it's worth doing, it's worth over doing.I was hanging out over at Track Time Performance, brain storming more ideas with my suspension guy Curt when he mentioned something that he liked to do on modified Audis, Porsches, and BMWs. There's a nifty gasket material made by Percy's High...

Wow what a difference. Didn't get a chance to log as my laptop battery died, but temps never hit above 210 according to the CEL. Able to do some back to back WOT runs without any hic-cups. Have one more alteration to the heat shield, but I think this may have nipped it. Will still test...

Lets see if this does the trick :D

I see two major advantages the Evo's front bumper over the 2Ga or 2Gb. One would be that it is taller and two it has two openings (one being specifically for the the radiator). The SSE TA Evo looks to have both radiator and IC placed at an angle. V mount setups like that found on an RX7 seem...

Love the ideas and support this thread is generating. I'll certainly give this a shot :thumb:

Sealing off the IC to rad is something Scott pointed out very early on, but just haven't got around to testing yet. I know the splitter and hood combination work as testing with it on and off shows dramatic differences in temps. Now whether or not its due to increasing the pressure zone in...

No doubt a vented hood is a deal breaker, and with proper ducting to direct air flow I believe there's a point where that type of setup will yeild those results. But with a FMIC in front of the rad, there's a huge difference on my car with the fans on and off. TWS is a fairly high speed track...

Curious if your are aiming to run in a particular class or just for getting out there to learn. If you are the later, I recommend something like a 14b or 16g. Crazy am I? Like a fox ;pOne of the hardest things for students to grasp is conservation of momentum. This is why low, under...

Based on what I've run with my car, I think the biggest difference between the 9 and 9.5" wheels will determine how big of a tire you can run. Of course offset will play a huge factor into this, but say using an offset that allows you to run the wheel as inboard as possible to keep the wheels...

I thought the same too until I spoke with my suspension specialist (his dad is a NASA engineer). Even though the air in front of the radiator is traveling faster than what the fans can move, this does make a difference. Instead of pulling the air through, what the fans do is create a low...

Here's a better pic with the IC in place. The ducting you see sits between the IC and core support with the only additional opening being the lower scoop.The splitter in it's current form is made of 1/4 plastic. I have some bracing to add to increase rigidity and will be lining the bottem...

Just for you :DI'll be sure to keep this post updated and hopefully a resolution. For those just joining:Things done: - vented hood - sealing radiator - ducting w/ lower scoop - splitter - lower temp thermostat - aluminum radiator / using stock fans (full on via DSMLink) - 100%...
