Last weekend noticed that the other fuel pump feed to the fuse was warm on the "B6284T". It has a bigger wire from the relay to the other fuse and this one is a short split from there. Didn't ever check where I connected the AEM pump and seems like it was behind the smaller wire. That pump just uses so much more current than a K-jet copy. Swapped the wires and that got fixed. Because of this I had to redo the whole fuel map, there is so much more fuel now that AEM has good power.
Had an alignment done the first time just to see the numbers. Up to this point I've done it myself. We set 1? of negative camber, now the adjustment on the strut is maxed out and there is only little left on the body side. More(1.5?) camber might mean grinding control arm bolt holes or such.
Installed a 13-row oil cooler for the power steering. Only suitable place(and fast to install to) was laying longitudally left side of the transmission. For now it has only two corners supports. I'll take some pics after I've done at least one support more. It could use a stainless net for protection too. Gave a quick wash on Friday evening before going to the track.
-92 camber has been in the factory spec after alignment and adjusted some more on the body side for the track. Might adjust the strut side too but feels ok to drive.
Both survived track day on Saturday and also got a list of things to improve(besides the driver).
Positives first.
I'm happy with the suspension on both, didn't even do any adjusments. It was a lot to take in driving both being so different, getting the hang of things and the track after ~1.5 years. Have to take these to the track again to get better laps and a better feel.
"B6284T" feels so much better and responsive in the corners than before. Lower seating position and new better supporting seat feel more natural than before. Low boost(1.7bar) was enough for this time and pulled nicely. No breathing or losing coolant.
-92 mainly needs only more power and I wasn't yet able to take it to the limit in the corners. Brakes felt really good all the time and could have braked way later. 205/50/16 semis are good for this power to weight ratio and "Sunday driving", no limit reached yet.
Negatives and needed improvements.
I cracked the power steering reservoir return on the "B6284T" while installing the oil cooler and it leaked. Put a rag over it with a cable tie and as the level had gotten lower there were no more disturbing leaks. Needs new brake discs before next track day, they start shaking bad when warm. Though I knew this already, now it's really bad. And the grip of the brakes does not give a good impression. -92 has much more better feel on the shifter and this needs revising. Driving both after one another caused a couple of misses just because of the difference.
There were times when on left turns AFR stayed lean when giving gas and the car felt like it was sucking air from the tank even with a full tank. And with less fuel in the tank some times in it didn't. I'm thinking of a wiring gremlin. First time this has occurred above half tank and with a feed pump and surge tank. Logged the last stint but there were no issues
-92 has a pretty short list. On the first drive I had engine oil topped off and it puked out of the breather. With lower oil level there was nothing in the catch can. Something funky is going on with the ECU, Map or such. After three laps of WOT the engine goes really rich and stays there. After sitting a while it's good to go again. Naturally didn't come to mind to check with the laptop when it's on. It doesn't happen on the street even on long drives.
