Heh, no problem. Good news mirage man received the hub today! He said he'd try to have something for us soon. Hopefully we will be able to use early mirage calipers and rotors, or even lancer rotors...

Ok, after playing with the MAF scaling I think I have something that will help the auto guys getting lean

Keep in mind that I have 440's and the later afr's set to 11.5 but that should put you at about a 11.7 WOT but at boost threshold youre still going to be a little rich. Just play with the 600-800 range a little more.
Im still tuning a little knock though. Im wondering if its from the early 10's though because Im seeing it around the 70-80 load range which is weird.
For those of you more interested in the rotor swap Mirage Man emailed me over the weekend. He said he's been kinda busy BUT he has confirmed that the early 90's Mirage and Galant rotors fit our hub perfectly! And that we will be using 1G DSM calipers. He told me he is going to the yard this week to start to get something fabbed up for us!
Can't wait! This is going to look good!

Yeah, i saw his posts a while ago. I was just going to widen the hubs like Pete did but talking to MM I looked and saw I could get a hub to him cheap. Might as well make it easy for the rest of the guy's here. What I didn't know is having to use dsm calipers though.

Ok, something I've been pondering for a few weeks. Living in Panama city. It's already in the 70s here. It's bound to get nice and humid and hot here soon! I've been running into issues of elevated temps over the summers so it's time. On top of a new radiator I need a tranny cooler.
I'm thinking of using an evo oil cooler and mounting location for the tranny cooler. My concern though, since the cooler is not exchanging temps with the coolant in the winter is it harmful to to have the tranny temps too low?
Thinking big time, what about if I add a cooler on the other side for the coolant for the turbo? Would that help with temps there or would that really be fruitless?

definitely looking for someone to chime in on this one. I was thinking the same thing the other day. I don't think the cold temps will be bad though since the cooler is to keep the temps down but then again...
