Re: My Winter Upgrades
Well got to drive the shit outta it this weekend since it was beautiful out. I've got about 200 miles on it now since the rebuild. So far it's running pretty damn well. I used to have the FIAV/ISC blocked off. I decided to reinstall it all, so I could have an ISC again to help the car idle better. I did still leave the FIAV blocked off though since the car isn't driven in real cold conditions. With the ISC installed, the car idles 100X better then it was in the past. Just start it up and idles right away. It still hiccups every now and then, which I blame on the large injectors and cams. But I don't need to worry about it almost dieing or anything. I think I'm really going to like having that ISC again.
One issue I am noticing is that after a good bit of driving, the car likes to push some coolant into the overflow. And if it gets too full, pukes it out the overflow drain. So I bought a 1.1 bar cap from O'Reilly's since they have them on the shelf, hopefully that'll help a little. I still may buy a 1.3 bar one from MAP though. And I still need to finish building my scoop underneath to help direct some more air into the radiator.
Oh and I also wired in, and am now running, an Evo8 MAS. I used the plug n play airflow adjustment numbers off the DSMLink Wiki, and they appear to be working pretty well.
All in All, I'm just happy I've been able to drive it around for 200 miles, and for the most part it's running great!!
