Here's a better shot of what we did on Friday. As you can see the MAF is right there in a good position and working as per normal. You can also see that the decklid has no back plate blocking any air like in stock form. Hence I think I'm still getting the benefits of cold air through there as it's totally open.

 

It's a pretty beefy cone with plenty of surface are and got a four inch diameter, which we tapered down to 3.5...

 

That was fun eh? I got so lucky with my instructor. He was a fellow Brit and owned a 996TT! Can you believe it? I later found out why his was the "drift king" too as he was apparently an ex-pro Rally driver!

The car scares me, as does the PSM. I actually think with the way my car is set up so neutral the PSM hinders and causes the driver more danger than anything else. Twice we had some scary moments going from immense grip and great neutral handlig around a turn to, sudden loss of brake and throttle and horrid understeer....

Anyways, I honestly think I have way more power than sense.

 

sharkster,

My guess is you are getting a mixture of ambient temp air with engine temp air. Only way to really know is to get an Andial Induction at gauge.

 

It could be yes. It's still "beta" but we were already talking about some shielding and so on... Ducting it through to the cone.

 

Sharky, well you do have a lot of power.
Looks like it's about time for me to upgrade to Kevin's turbos My right side turbo is leaking....

I had a blast at the track yesterday cept when I lost my brakes...

Were you out on the last session? I didnt see you.

Hunting a Focus

 

Hehe after going from his car to mine, Chris was like "Okie dokie then. I need more power now"....

I didn't go out on the last session. My brakes (more on this later) were fricking awesome but I kept getting a brake fluid sensor light coming on indicating the temps were too high. I suspect that this may be set to the temp for the stock fluid and with me using Motul, perhaps everything was just fine and running at higher temps but just not boiling over due to the higher temps possible with that stuff....

Kevin's turbos are bloody awesome. Even with my tuning not being in order yet, the lack of lag with the power means I don't have to worry too much about it punching in at the wrong time around a turn.

I did ride along with my friend in his drift-machine GTi

 

Ah this Focus I've got a pic of you hunting me down too...

I'm just so scared of really pushing it out there with so much traffic and the number of changes the car has lol. Oh add to that I'm a total chicken... I'm a lot more comfy on Buttonwillow but then again it's a MUCH slower track. I saw four people go off in one fashion or another directly in front of me. Wasn't pretty

 

heya man, just did Sorry I missed that...

PS Does anyone know what the tranny temps are supposed to be? The range that is.. for the tip obviously:P

 

I was testing it out a little this morning with my data logger (probably not quite as accurate) but the temps did seem normal....

 

Does anyone know the proper temperature range for the Tiptronic transmission before I hook the sensor up?

Cheers in advance...

 

oh for sure.. as long as I'm moving the air is cold I believe And I've removed all of that other crap under the wing to get more air in. The sound is just intoxitcating...

Water? LOL what's that? We don't have that in California...

 

That looks like a Florida forcast

ROFL, you guys and your rain. Come out West to Cali and you can drive around without worrying and use Pilot Sport Cups too:P
