Track times after AWE COldfront install
So ever since I upgraded to the Revo pulley and hit up the drap strip I have been consumed by getting better and better times. After much research on the forums and seeing other B8 s4s perform on I decided that the two things that were missing were the DSG tune and a better SC coolant system. I was lucky enough to get a great deal on the AWE coldfront system and resevoir. I decided that i was going to takle the install with my freind, some pizza, and a few beers. So far i have gone to the track 3 times. I have posted about both of those in another thread. Here i want to compare and give my thoughts on the SC coolant system. First my “butt dyno” result. During the hot days the car just feels stronger, since the two coolant systems are seperate now the engine isnt heating up the coolant to 200 degrees right away. now for the real stuff(i am going to edit with pictures from my phone shortly after i post this.
also after i got back from the track last night i realized the date/time was all messed up since i was not on the track in the future as it says.
both are these slips are REVO stage 1+ 93 map with 93 octane. DA was very close fuel level for both runs were the same as i got the the track both times with the light on so i could fill up with some race gas. the only real change was the Coolant system. left was at englishtown in July and the right was last night at island dragway.
These next slips are Both Revo 1+ switched to race gas map. both times I had 93 103 mix in the tank. Both times the tank was about 1/2 full after purchasing the race fuel. the sheet on the left was from Waterfest. DA was around 1015 this Run. I was hot lapping and did 6 runs in about 1.5 hours. The DA last night was not as favorable and there is less data from out at that track but from Dragtimes. at 8 pm it was 2100 and and 9pm it was 1550 so i assume when i did the run at 8;30 is was in between those two times. There was nobody there so i was only waiting 4 minutes between my runs and the car was consistantly fast. the guy at the time slip both was laughing since i kept getting faster. Best time was 12.265 but the other 4 runs were just a little slower.
Once the weather is right Revo 1+ is going to be just as fast as any of the APR stage 2 cars. I am hoping to have the DSG tune done tomorrow so ill be able to get some times with that next week and report back
