For loki
Tomorrow I'm GONNA install my CP-E pump and I took a few logs today with the stock pump WOT 3rd gear I couldn't find a spot for 4th gear pulls. I'll post some logs tomorrow hopefully with the new pump!
be careful with the slippery roads. I'll bet you'll have traction issues given the road conditions.Quote:

Loki,
I work at canadian tire as a service advisor, i can check for you tomorrow night if you want to shoot me a text.. pm...
Any opinions on balance shaft deletes?
Know its purpose, know additional oil volume is required, know that a baffle is a good idea, extra vibes = racecar. Missing anything?
I too was thinking about doing it.Quote:

Having deleted my balance shaft, and having seen what really goes into weakening cylinder 3 in several instances, I can safely say that at this point, with the depth of tuning access we now have with the engine, the balance shaft is the least of one's concern in prolonging engine life. Furthermore, as Mr Wilson alluded to, the extra vibes might be off putting to some.Quote:

As such, I feel it's more natural but this can be totally disregarded as my personal preference. The vibes, which are of the 2nd order, are only felt mostly when you engine brake...and those of us who engine brake would enjoy every feedback our machines give us and it's not of an offensive kind of vibe that'd lose a date.
The BSD requires removal of the oil pan. Be cautious of the associated risks of exposing the bottom of your engine, while keeping in mind the need to reform a proper gasket upon reinstallation.
Thanks Vince. Awesome response, and food for thought. One question, second paragraph, first line near the end, should it read 'Without the BSD, the engine revs.....'?

It only took reading 8 times (apparently I have dyslexia or a comprehension issues or just need to slow down) to get it. I figured with the BSD it would do the above.....but for some reason my brain was reversing it.
Fuel pump and a cobb TIP went in yesterday! It was a bit of a battle! Still running the stage 1 tune until my tank of 91 is finished and then I'm gonna fill up with 94 and load up the stage 2 tune and get some proper logs!
You should start the ride thread. Would help keep track of your progress questions etcQuote:

Racerboy (see what I did there) is correct, no downpipe yet.
