Deadmau5X: MOAR Mods 'N Stuff

[Rmondoh]

Pink pencils and you just admitted to still living with your mom? Man points dude, man points...

:D

Seriously though, when is this stuff going on?

Doesn't bother me! :D

We start on Kracka's car. Exhaust manifold goes on Saturday followed by a trip to Cobb for a dyno run.

Intake manifold and throttle body should go on next week followed by another trip to Cobb for a spin on the dyno and to get properly tuned (Kracka's car as well).

We'll probably start work on mine the week after that.

I don't think that is too uncommon, especially on a piece AFTER the turbo.

Some people have had problems on their manifolds where the coating has flaked off from the inside due to a sub-par coat job and caused problems on the turbo.

Thanks I had no clue. :fart2:

For comparison: stock VIII = 59mm, IX TB = 61mm, X = 58mm

Coating inside and out is common practice; inside to prevent the metal from absorbing the heat and outside to prevent the metal from dissipating what heat it has absorbed.

Did thread clean up just happen or something?

Ah, thank you. I always feel confused when stuff randomly disappears.

It's the man deleting posts trying to keep us down. :D

So EM swap was put on hold since Kracka's car took a xfer case dump. Hopefully it'll be good as new by the end of next week. Then we can get back to business, otherwise we may have to do the testing on my car.

In other news, I got new brake pads put on. Went with RB ET500s. Pretty simple install. No issues. Bedded in and ready to stop on a dime!

[Kracka]

Glad the pad swap went smoothly and you're happy with them!

Clutch pill removed and clutch/brake system flushed with ATE Super Blue!
