Oh wow, news to me, thanks. In other words, greasy water.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

I'm with you there, especially in the heat down here I'd be much more comfortable with a 0W-30.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Awhile back I did some reading, and it seems like the additive package provides more protection than the hot weight of the oil. At the high racing temps, say 270*, there isn't that much viscosity difference between a 30W and 40W oil. I guess a 20W oil is a bit thin though.

Anyway, sorry to hear about your oil overfill issues. Glad they are making it right.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Good point! The additive packages these days are pretty incredible.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Sorry to thread jack about oil, Kracka. What I want to know is... how was the no lift to shift!?

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

I scared myself with it :p

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Awesome! Haha!

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

NLTS is sweet. Since it's all computer controlled, what exactly does it change when you press the clutch but have the throttle down? Cut fuel and ignition? Does it actually leave the throttle body open?

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

From what I can tell it operates similar to Tephra's NLTS on the Evo 8/9 by using a variable rev-limiter with a X RPM drop above Y% throttle and Z MPH. With my oil slightly over-filled I didn't want to mess around with it too much since I've been trying to baby it until the oil level is correct; hopefully I'll have more of a chance to mess around with it this weekend.

Speaking of throttle body though...

Weapon-X ported throttle body :)

The stock TB is 87mm but has a very large lip in it for some reason, this one reuses the stock blade but is fully ported and smoothed. For now it's getting added to the stack of boxes in my office, but it will be a good addition to the AFE intake I also have waiting to go on. I got a great deal from a local who decided the C7 isn't for him so I didn't want to pass it up. The hold-up to get these parts installed is two things:
1. Waiting to get my oil change debacle solved.
2. Waiting on Diablo to release their AFE intake OTS map, at which point I'll also order the Diablo InTune (think Cobb Accessport for domestics).

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Good shit. Would be cool to see a dyno graph of stock vs. these mods. Any plans to go get a baseline done?

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

I've been thinking about it, I probably should!

Here is what Weapon-X claims for the throttle body. Stock vs. stock + ported TB (no tuning):

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Not bad at all. Im glad i did a baseline dyno on my car, kinda cool to be able to go back and see specifically your car and how it has changed.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

I'm going to talk to Cobb, they mentioned wanting to dyno my car vs. a 2014 Camaro SS at their next "First Thursday" event. That would be a great opportunity for a baseline.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Dyno dyno dyno doooo it!

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Pretty healthy gains for just a TB and no tuning.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

The final piece needed for my nice basic little setup! They are supposed to be releasing a specific OTS map for the AFE intake sometime today or tomorrow in addition to the current 93, 91, and modified-stock maps already available.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

It'll be interesting to see what gains it will have with the intake.

Will they have anything in the future for the TB?

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Supposedly the stock ECU doesn't need recalibration for the ported TB. We shall see! This is a pretty common setup so luckily I'm not the first to try it out :)

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

What kind of gains have people been seeing from it?

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

For a stock car, about +20whp/+25wtq with just the 93-octane flash. With everything combined, we'll see once this AFE map is released :)

If I can dip out of work for a bit this afternoon I'm going in for a baseline dyno, and maybe do a pull with just the 93 map too if there's time.
