Been driving around with Delicious Tuning 8.59 tune for a few days now. Partial throttle now is very smooth and no hesitation anymore. I love the new throttle maps, map 1 (daily) is great for normal driving and map 4 (extreme) is just insane Thanks Bill

I just switched back to 93 last night. Very smooth on 8.59. Miss the power of E85 though, lol. Still really good on 93 though.

It definitely spun quite a bit there, I think it was mostly from the shift, but it certainly didn't do it to that extent on any of the previous tunes. I am running some sticky 245's (Yokohama AD08R's), too.

Oil cooler comes in today, going to make some kind of heat shield for the header, then it's dyno time.

How do you like these? They are what I'm considering getting here fairly soon. I need something because my tires are crap and I get no traction and am afraid of losing grip at a most inopportune moment, lol.

LOVE them. I was running Continental ExtremeContact DW's before, and these are much better in almost every regard.

are any of you guys running the mishimoto oil cooler and the Innovate intercooler? i'm going to be installing it tomorrow and want to make sure everything fits. @Mishimoto - can you confirm?

My mishi won't fit as the mounting bracket for the oil cooler conflicts with the upper edge of the innovate IC. If you can get yours to work I'd be interested to see how.

Crap, that's what i was afraid of. did it look like it was close to fitting? or was the fit a mile off? No chance @Mishimoto wants to use my car at mishifest to fab up a bracket for us innovate guys, is there?

thankfully i bought it through amazon prime, so if it doesn't work out i shouldn't have any problem returning it.

Its pricey, but what about the HKS oil cooler?



I am not exactly sure how the Innovate IC is mounted, but would this conflict?

I've already modded my AN10 lines to have a 90 deg elbow instead of the 45 deg ones, but even with that the mounting bracket will need to be moded IMO. It is designed to fit behind the crash bar and use the plastic clips on top of the crash bar to hold it on, you can't get it behind the crash bar with the clip holes lined up with the IC mounted.

I've drilled the clip holes all the way through the crash bar so that they are in the same position on the bottom, and was planning to get some longer bolts and some nuts to hold the mount on, but the stack height of the oil cooler mount is too tall and would need to be cut down by the thickness of the section of the crash bar that the mounting bolts would feed through.

Hope this helps/makes sense. I'm not sure what I am going to do with mine at this point.

That would work, and I may try to get some longer AN10 lines and put my mishi core over there.

Not running Perrin, but running a custom order from Mocal with all the same parts and it fits perfectly.
Only thing I'm missing is the fancy mounting brackets, which means mine mounted about 5 mil further back.

I'm running a Perrin, fits with no issues.
