MK7 Sportwagen with Unitronic intercooler and intake intake air temps around town
Переглядів 32День тому
IS38 FBO. ~90 deg F ambient. Heatsoaked for ~30 min after driving to Costco then driving "normally" around town. Hood up/fan blowing on engine bay for 30 min check once I got home. I regularly see IATs less than 20 above ambient during single pulls and between 20-30 above ambient on track. IAT delta ambient will be lower in colder weather approaching ambient at times.

    • @karstgeo7290
      @karstgeo7290 15 днів тому

      Very vague here, what codes are having? Limp mode/EPC can be from a number of things, here specifically this is due to misfires from too much timing correction due to the tune being "spicy" for good fuel (lots of advance) and the winter fuel blend not supporting it.

    Ive run alot of 200 tw tires and these are not even in the same realm. They squeal like an all season and wear like a summer tire. Easy to find the limit since its so low. No sidewall support. These need to be marketed in the 300 tw range, not even close to other 200 tw on the market. Even federal rsr which is same cost is 5x better all around. Fun for a low limit street tire thats about it

    • @karstgeo7290
      @karstgeo7290 Місяць тому

      Agree they are noisy, they wore well for me. Agree they are more like a 300 when comparing to other 200s. I currently run the Nexen N'Fera Sport R...a super 200 and yes, much grippier. I have a video of me chasing my buddy in a MK8 R at VIR and he is on these tires, he holds his own on them for sure. A good cheap way to not trash your street tires is how I look at them...I had fun on them.

      It makes a lot of sense for many. Castrol oil change all-in from Wallyworld is about $40-50 for my VWs. I've been doing this for almost 5 years and when combined with all the other maintenance/consumables I buy from FCP...I have ~$2.7K in refunds to-date so over 5 years for 3 VWs it has cost me about $2K out-of-pocket per my records. For only oil changes that are infrequent..yes, probably not worth it.

      Your factory brakes are just fine, unless you are really sending it in the mountains I wouldn't worry about it. IF you are going to do that, just get some good pad per the video and ensure your fluid is fresh. IF you want more heat management, I'd step up to the 340 GTI PP/R fronts and skip the 312s, the difference in the 288 to 312 is negligible.

    Forgot to add: Endless is fantastic. Been using it since the beginning of 2023. I only chose it over Castrol SRF for two reasons: 1. It comes in 500ml bottles instead of 1L bottles (have to crack one open to top off of bleed, you're not exposing an $80 bottle to air which needs thrown away in a reasonable amount of time) 2. It comes in metal cans. Metal cans are better about not letting moisture/contamination in. I mark all partially used brake fluid bottles as the date I opened them, and for plastic bottles I pitch them after 30 days, metal bottles I pitch after 90. after that the cap gets an X on it and is then for emergency top off only. I don't do a full bleed until winter time now... and actually in February I was running on the same fluid as the December event (oops). The stuff just plain works. I did actually start to "fade" it in February (similar to the Motul pedal sink, not complete loss of pressure, etc) but that was also on last year's brake pads as well (which were just below same thickness as the backing plate at the end of that weekend). Thinner pads = less heat isolation = put more consideration into bleeding the brakes. But early in the pad life you can get away with doing 2-3 weekends without a bleed.
