Questions
Hello all,
Read most of this thread and just want to clarify some things prior to SC install:
I should mention that this will be a track only car, I instruct for a number of clubs in my area, so there will be a lot of track time, and once the car is sorted, a cage will go in for W2W. My previous race car was an E30.
1. Since I have a 2020 MY, it seems that all I need is a longer sleeve to connect to the air box and possibly a new filter (Blitz seems to be the recommended brand)... can I stick with stock or is there just too much restriction?
Is there anything else that is required for 2017+?
2. I am leaning towards Jackson dual rad/oil cooler, some people in this thread mentioned that they are using it, just wondering if anyone with a SC is tracking with this set-up, and if there are any cons?... I will be venting the hood too, mostly for aero, but should help with keeping the temps down.
3. I should have more than enough power for the class I am aiming for with this SC, all I care about is reliability, so with that in mind:
a) Can I keep the stock exhaust (don't care about sound)?
b) Not because of power, but just to avoid any knocking issues, which octane?
I have easy access to:
91 no ethanol,
93 and 94 with about 10% ethanol,
and almost any octane non-ethanol race fuel - 94, 98 and 100... it's just bloody $$$
4. Please see attached picture - is this normal or just loose? Couldn't really check it at the time, and now the box is buried behind a bunch of crap (just a little paranoid).
5. Engine oil - leaning towards 5w30 to start, will monitor temps and pressure.
6. Got a catch can, just because it makes me feel better.
I am sure that I will have more questions, but that is it for now. Thank you all!
