If you're not modded, just do this. It's cheap and a pretty easy install.
It made a huge difference when my only mod was a Hondata with the +9 tune. I was getting heat-soaked like crazy and in 100 degree weather it was a nightmare--the grille cooled things down so much, night and day man.
As...
Flex fuel kit with custom tune, lighter wheels/better tires, downpipe, rear motor mount.
I wouldn't bother with things like IC or other cooling mods right now if you're just going for 1/4 mile reduction.
I haven't bought a single RV6 product ever, but the way they've handled this has been pretty amazing when you think about it.
1. Problem with ONE user
2. Problem identified
3. Several prophylactic fixes offered to all testers
As others have said, this is for a BETA. Some risk comes with the...
Nothing higher than 30 weight oil is even recommended by 27WON for the W1, which is a step up from the TD03, so I'm sitting here scratching my head even more. . .
This is a broken record, and totally untrue. Octane is measured differently in different regions of the world.
Long story short: Euro 98 octane is essentially US 93 octane.
Would be a waste of money getting a custom and (even moreso) a dyno tune with what you're planning right now.
If you do a downpipe or better yet, flex fuel, you'd get way more out of a custom tune.
I take cash out of my HSA, have a credit card my wife doesn't know about, and PayPal credit my wife thinks is solely to pay taxes (6 months interest free! ? ).
The highest ethanol content in E85 is really only ever 82%. The highest I've ever observed is 80%, but usually it's between 70 and 80%.
If a certain amount of E85 is going to give you over 15% ethanol. . . use less E85. . . It's really easy to calculate what will give you E15, there's even...
Well there's the rub--I guess I should've put a disclaimer that it's the one thing I recommended that could possibly shorten the life of a component of your car, but the jury still seems to be out on if it actually hurts the turbo in any real way.
Here's the way I look at it: yes, you MIGHT be...
Get a honeycomb grille for your heat issues.
Other mods for heat that are cheap are gold wrapping the turbo inlet pipe and maybe even your MAF.
Up to 70% distilled water in your radiator is another cheap and (obviously) very easy mod.
I've seen great results from Water Wetter as well.
