Water temp stays around 180 while cruising, if I play around a bit it goes to about 195. Going to try some water wetter.


Man that's a lot higher oil pressure then I'm seeing, unless my gauge is busted .

As for water temps, those are fine, what radiator are you running again? Thing is you want your car to be around 190*F for best emissions and gas mileage. Just make sure your fans kick on at 212 and cool it down to 190's and your fine.

Running a stock rad with 1 stock fan. Also I think my home made mesh grill allows more air through the rad over stock. could be on glue though.

Fan comes on at 212 for sure, verified this with conzult, nds and nistune.

I'm going to make another log prolly sunday or monday or whatever using that other .bin, I think it has more power now then when I did that first one.

Possibly..

Oh Vadim, I was able to watch my boost gauge, in 3rd gear I'm at 9lbs solid by 4200-4300 rpms then the cam activates seamlessly at 4900.

Nice! I'm trying to crank up my boost up now myself

Yeah, my NXS boost controller and HKS bov and all that should be here next week, I'll prolly do a run before I install any of it then do an after run.

Not sure I wanna try cranking up the boost yet, but its possible..

Ok, so with a lot of hill climbing (from like 500ft to 2500ft) up an down up an down doin like 70-80 the whole way i got 25.5mpg, on the way back doing 65-70 I'm not sure on the mileage yet cause i haven't refilled to see what i used, but im guessing its pretty close to the same.. maybe a tad better.. but like i said there was a lot of hills and twisties, most of the time the gauge was at 0psi lol.

heres some pics of my gauges in action.

First pic is idle at a stop light.



Second pic is in 2nd gear at 25mph, which as long as i'm just cruising is where the gauge is at. the slightest amount of pressure it jumps to the second to last mark, and anything over 1/4 throttle i'm pretty sure is right at or over the 100, not the mark before the 100 the actual 100 numbers.
