I got mine all the way to the right in one track session on a hot day, it was my bad for not noticing right away. This was mostly due to blocking air to the radiator with my oil cooling setup. Since adjusting that I can only make it move 2 dots right of center, and half a lap of cool down brings it right back to left of center. By the time I get to the pits and plug in an ODBII reader it says 195F.

Is this on the track or the street? I began to see signs of coolant temp issues on my 370Z when I had the AE Performance oil cooler installed. Since it blocked a decent portion of the front bumper opening, after 20 or so minutes of track driving the water temp gauge was reading about 3/4 hot. I can't imagine the FMIC for the supercharger kit or the supercharger kit itself will make it any better. Not to mention the oil/water heat exchanger heating/cooling both the oil and water at the same time. On the street, not a problem, but Travis' car does not see the street. Now I could very well be wrong, and it would be nice if I am but if he wants to be running 20-30 minutes at a time without issues, I see a big radiator in his near future. The good news is that no matter what, there's going to be a fix and the fact that Travis' car is a track only machine opens up a world of fun possibilities for that fix.

Problem solved! Hopefully. If not, then I say custom front radiator support that allows for v-mount radiator/intercooler.

Just ordered a "skein" of wool yarn and four Magnehelic differential pressure gauges... going to do some aero testing when I get the car back... should help me figure out where to place vortex generators, where to position a vent in the hood, whether / how to extend my rear diffuser, underbody design, etc
... and yes, I have no idea what I am doing! lol speak up if you've done this before. thanks! |

I think you should build your own wind tunnel!

I do have three industrial fans that my wife uses in her photography business... might be a way to get some quick feedback w/o taking it on the road... I don't even want to think about the ticket I will get if I take this thing on the road

Guess it depends on the local LE's. Around here if you knew them and were on good terms with them and not driving like a jackass, no problemo. Worst case if they didn't know you they might give you a ticket for no inspection sticker. (Well, assuming the car still has a registered title and some legal plates stashed away somewhere).

I would move the f over if I saw you in the rear view, you could scare a cop away for sure.

My friend Dominick is driving a blue 350Z in TTB. Said the competition is really fierce. He's a full second faster than when I was there in August (where he placed 3rd) and he's still 5th of 6.
Mid-Ohio is a real blast... I wish I could run it more often. |
