Why do you want an enclosed pod? Standard cold air feed does a fine job of keeping things cool, even with an open pod setup. And if the enclosed is for legal reasons, well that goes right out the window when you cut holes for FMIC or have two intake mods. Return flows are plenty for any usable amount of power on the street.

So a drive a Portsea today and my oil temp is this :/

Ambient temp outside was about 27

Just did an oil change of Motul 8100 5w 40 Fully synthetic

Should I be worried? What are the consequences of a really hot oil temp?

Jesus, that's high.

5w40 is bit too thin for weather like today.

Thought we told you to put 10/50 or 10/60?

I was but then someone else said my oil might be dirty... Next oil change I will do it.

Would painting my intercooler black be attributing to this? I'm thinking that's the only change I've done since I've noticed increased oil temps :/

I'm super lazy so I bought a KCI ezy wrench from autobarn today; best $99 I've spent on the car.

Instead of wasting minutes loosening and tightening the wheel nuts - it can be done within seconds; LITERALLY.

Highly recommend it, bitches. Plugs into your cigarette lighter or your battery terminals and comes with everything you need to getting those wheels off fast. Fk yeah!

    • Yeah nice idea, you mean to suction it to the gauges? I hadn't thought of that.
    • A few suggestions: Do you have the option of retarding your exhaust cam gear to bring the power band over to the left? VCT would be turned off after you make peak torque, you see the power/torque will decay faster with it left on all the way to the limiter Once VCT is turned off, you'll find the motor will take a bit more timing being ramped in Send its mum, more boost! Of course, depends on your exhaust pressure.

    • I was back on the dyno again yesterday after completely revamping my methanol injection system. I was making 440kw at 19psi. Great, this is more then I was making last summer with my old meth system at that pressure, and I figured it would be smooth sailing up to 30+psi. We continued increasing from there and by 25psi, I had only hit 455kw. Dyno sadly lost utility power at this point and I left. We seemed to be on course to hit the same power wall as last summer (477kw@27psi). This is a built RB25 S1 stroked to a 2.8. Built and ported head with Kelford 272/262 cams. Precision 6466 Turbo. Tuner last year believed the power wall is a mix of RPM limitations (Hydro lifters/Limit set at 7600RPM) and fueling. With my new meth system, we're seeing zero knock now but it still won't go up.  What else can I do at this point? Here's my train of thought.  - It's clear from the dyno graph that I would easily make power to 8500+RPM but I'm limited to 7600RPM. I could risk increasing my limiter, but hydro lifters have me worried. What are my options here besides going NEO head or solid lifter conversion? I'm rocking a 1.05AR turbine on my 6466. Would dropping down to a .84 help shift that power down in anyway? - We're only seeing roughly a 30kw difference at the top end with VCT on or off. Is this normal? I want to confirm VCT is working properly. - Should I look into other cam options?  - Should I just keep increasing boost and see if she wakes up later on? I would expect to hit 600rwkw around 35psi with my 6466.
