I had the same problem on my Gen 1. It would pop out of 2nd during hard braking at autocross events. I put the Cobb shifter weight on, and replaced the OE PMM and TMM with Damond ones (already had the CS stage 2 RMM) and the problem seems to have gone away (although I've only done 1 event...

I guess I could see that, just figured you would be able to find the leak still before it escaped past the valves. Learn something new everyday!

It sounds to me like we have two different types of tests being discussed here, a boost leak test and a leak down test. For a leak down you'd want to make sure all the valves are closed on the cylinder you're testing (piston at TDC on compression stroke). But I've never heard of the valve...

That's a fair point. I probably don't need to worry about excess water nearly as much as I think I do. However... Today was the day of reckoning for the speed, aka, compression test day. And after seeing the results, I don't think I'm going to worry too much about trying to extract the full...

Oh yeah, we're not looking at typical computer fans for this idea lol. I've been doing a bit of searching, thinking about trying something like this out: www.amazon.com/Bgears-b-Blaster-140x38-Hi-Speed-5200RPM/dp/B07FHM5DJZ/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 5200 rpm, 300+ CFM, and I would...

Now there's an idea I hadn't considered! I'd thought about buying a portable, battery powered fan just to throw on top of the TMIC while parked in grid, but a small computer fan or two might make even more sense! Plus as you said, they don't draw much power and could run all the time. Very...

Welcome! It sounds like you're on the right track and have been doing your homework! I'd definitely check on that HPFP and figure your tune situation out before you drive the car too hard. If you just want an OTS Freektune, you basically get it for free if you buy the accessport from his...

That's kind of what I figured, I just wanted to make sure there wasn't some super secret way to more effectively ice it down lol. Yep, it's all there, the underhood ducting and the intercooler cover. And I cut the mesh part off of the cover so I can set the ice directly onto the intercooler.

Well boys, we have AC now, and it's blowing real cold! Considering the northwest has been in a perpetual heatwave all summer, this will be a welcome addition. The next autocross event is this weekend, but I'm in a dilemma. The highs will be 100 one day, 95 the next (38 C and 35 C for our...

Maybe it was just a one-off where he got a bad batch of gas? Or maybe try the regular, ethanol containing 91 next time instead of the mystery 91? Shitty situation no matter what though. I know I'd be skeptical about filling up there in the future if it happened to me but your other options...

Oh man, living that VTEC life now! And I see the picture both times, don't know what's going on lol

77% throttle position is normal for WOT. I see anywhere from 77-80 during my WOT logs. It doesn't actually go to 100% as some might think.

Finally got it out. I ended up having to drill it and use an extractor on it. What a stupid, stupid place to strip out a bolt head lol. Of course, I took this opportunity to buy a new tool. Never pass up an opportunity to justify a tool purchase, that's my motto. So far in my pursuit of...

Yeah the significant knock in that one seems to come after you're already letting off the accelerator. Is this a pump gas tune? If so, do you have any e85 near you? You could try adding some of that (wouldn't need much I'm guessing, maybe shoot for an e20 mix?) to the tank to raise the octane...

He said near the trans, not on the trans. It mounts to the frame (near the trans). Have you checked out the instructions for it yet? They're pretty detailed and tell/show you exactly where to mount it...

Were these pulls done on a smooth road? Once I was logging on a road I'd driven before, but never at speed, and I hit a pretty rough patch while at WOT. Sure enough, looked at the logs afterwards, and KR had shot up to ~6 at that point in the log. Something to consider. Side note, I was...

I hadn't considered trying to jam a flathead in there as is. It's worth a shot though! I had to walk away from it last night. I went into town and picked up a couple straight extractors, a spiral extractor, and a couple cobalt drill bits. I'm hoping I can remove it by jamming one of these...

Dear diary: It happened again today. For the fourth time in as many months, I found myself standing there in the darkened garage, blood dripping from my knuckles, fuel door open, watching the match slowly burn towards my fingertips. I wanted to drop it in there. I really did. I imagined the...

Thanks man, that would be awesome, I'd appreciate it! Good luck at your next event!

A TR8 and the cx piping is probably what I'll be going with, so I'm definitely interested in what your temps are if you can look at them this coming event! My BATs on the street vs autocrossing are wildly different lol. The TMIC heat soaks bad, and after the 1st run of the day, I basically...
