Yes, definitely. That was the first thing I mentioned on my initial post about the flow differences above.

doh! I should read more carefully.

I also believe that #5 runs hotter for other reasons like coolant temperature... If you follow the path, it's the furthest from the radiator and possibly heatsoaked in a way by the time it runs back there.

Engine bay temps might be worse too back there...

How about fuel temp? The rail is hot and it possibly heats up the fuel with #5 getting the short end of the stick...

I'll say this, the plugs and pistons on my last failure looked gradually worse from 1-5...

One more thing to consider is that the air going through the intake manifold has to slow down at the rear wall. This also increases pressure at the rear-most cylinders.

Now that I think of it, I've seen many per cylinder egt manifolds on cars but never any data that shows how much of a difference there is in temperature among all 5. The idea is that we could compensate for these variables in the tune...

Exactly. I will probably get an egt data acquisition package to do that on my revver.

Cant we all just get along! Anyway plan on going to coil overs over the winter and a new wheel setup. Was thinking RPF1's but leaning more towards something like this.

I love those type of wheels on the urs cars.

Id like some real Futura's but they arent 18s and they have a crazy offset.

do it! I always look at the Enkei's for weight, but really would you just look at that photoshop.

These wheels should be similar in weight to my RK's but i think they fit the car well.

That looks great, not that wheels even really matter with what you have under the hood

I think the wheels and stance is what draws people to it at first, then they look under the hood and go ohh..

Hey Guys, Haven't had an update in a while but have been pretty busy on the car. Ive ordered a PTFE based fuel line in -8AN size with the fittings i think will be ideal, pairing that with a Fuel lab 40 micron stainless fuel filter. Also went to a custom built coil over using a QA1 rear shock and a 10" rear spring, upfront is a modified housing with a Koni race strut a 7'' spring with a 25lb take up spring. Camber plates from Thomas (Thuppu). I picked up a set of OZ Futuras for the car as well, have some before pictures of them here. They've gone to have the lips and bolts professionally polished. wheel are 18x8.5 front ET45 and 18x9.5 rear Et45, I plan to run a 255 tire on them.

Coil over. Also replaced control arms, tie rod ends, rear tie rod ends.

Not hammered but plan to fine tune it when the new wheels go on.

Look at that assembly date!

Those futuras are the bees knees!
I want a ride in it!

Glad to see an update here.

I'm telling you man, get something finer than that 40 micron. Bosch themselves say particles 35 micron and larger WILL damage the injectors. They recommend a 5 micron filter. Ethanol is said to commonly have fines as small as 8 microns... With that information, I'd go with a 10 at the least. Bosch prefers 5 since that's what's in the injectors themselves and you don't want a clog there when you could stop it at the filter instead. Just sayin...

Matt what's the status? i heard you weren't at Carlisle showing this beast off!

Yea i wasn't there. They moved it a week out from following years. Going to shoot for Wolfgart this year though.

No real update just sharing some love.

Fucking eh, looks clean AF Matty
