Spring Dyno Day Results and Pics!

As for the sidemount issue..try going with a supra sidemount.they are slightly thicker and bigger. Also, ducting some air straight into the sidemount will allow for the air to be a bit cooler..I've even seen a few people but a 4-6" fan on the sidemounts to pull air through them..not sure if it really helps, but i don't see how it could hurt it.

I never said the sidemount was an issue. I'm keeping it. I never have had a problem with it even when it's hot out. Actually I ran most of the summer a couple years ago with no intercooler at all (just to see how it worked) at 20PSI with 95 degree temperatures outside with no problems.

Didn't have a problem or didn't know how bad your intake temps actually got

Didn't knock, but yeah you couldn't even touch the piping from the turbo to the TB. No knock is no knock and nothing ever happened to my engine. E85 is awesome.

The knock display on your SAFC is about useless.

I know that the actual number shown doesn't correlate to anything, but from what I've seen if the number doesn't go up more when going higher on timing, leaner AFR, more boost, or higher outside temperatures -- you should be good knock wise. Especially since OBD2 logging sucks so much.

The stock ECU will normally retard timing from extremely faint knock before add-on knock devices can even pick anything up, 4G63's do not knock all that loud compared to some other motors. You can log knock on 2Gs nowdays. E85 can be so knock resistant though that you can reach a point where you don't gain power from leaner or more timing, yet it might not be knocking.
