With multiple days of running around in temperatures, in the 31C (mid 90's F) range, one of my intake system hoses has split open. (a big beafy piece made by Mazda originally) After 7 months of reliable operation, I have to replace this piece, and re-assess how it can be made more durable! This is one simple, rubber hose... not a whole system. I totally get the challenge!

Wait, I'm confused. Is this still for the Camry from Hades or another make/model?

BTW: those who missed it (like me, my page was cached) the 6AT E85 1.5dump tunes are available. Clear your cache if you don't see them!

Stoked to get back on the corn...

You will be pleased

I'll be in the area of Pikes Peak in a month, who wants to send me an ESC to test? LOL

You would probably have to pry it from the cold lifeless hands of its current owner lol.

I know I wouldn't give mine up lol. One day for dealer visits is almost too much..

Seriously though. I switched mine off today just to be reminded what my car used to be. I only lasted a few minutes that way haha.

Can we run E85 if were still on the ESC 1.0 with a stock header? There's has to be others besides just me who haven't upgraded.

LOL! This is all I need to know!!!

But the analysis and breakdown is equally excellent. Thank you!

I think that should be the phantoms new tag line.

Took my car in to repair an exhaust leak (aftermarket), but before I did I removed the compressor and the wiring to the battery because I didn't want anybody in the garage screwing around with the system.

About gunk in your D.I.s. I have not read about this issue yet on the board. I'd love to hear more about it though.

The DI for #3 was so fouled that I was basically running on just 3 cylinders. I'd enter a hill at 70 mph and by the time I got to the top I was at 50. When this started, fearing that I'd blow the car up by activating the ESC, I simply removed it until the problem was diagnosed and fixed.

So I sent out the DI to one of those outfits that clean your DI's for $25 a pop. He calls me and says "Sir, what the hell did you do to your DI? Did somebody put sugar in your gas tank?" Whatever the process is for cleaning - boiling, ultrasonic sound waves, whatever the piss they do - didn't work. He couldn't get the DI to spray at all.

Well, sugar in the gas tank apparently is mostly an urban myth, so I'll rule that out. Some logs I did showed that cylinder 2 was starting to act up, and from that day forward I've been putting nothing but BP gas (93, as always) in the tank. I can feel the gradual improvement, to the point where I don't feel even the slightest shudder at idle, unlike before. BP is a "top tier" gas, lots of detergents.

My son has a friend who works in a lab where the gunk can be analyzed, to some extent. Maybe I'll find out what it really is.

Do you believe this due to e85 or just crap gas? Just a heads up, I worked at a petroleum transportation company. They get all the gas from the same rack.

I think there's an ESC e85 package of maps in the oven. Still, this question is best left for @Shiv@Openflash to answer.

FWIW, you should be able to run single dump ESC set-ups successfully with the OTS 1.5 dump maps. It was just the other way around that was iffy
