by d.g.c. on 09-01-10 05:14 PM 41.6 at last check. my b4 is almost undrivable in this heat. it turns into a pinging machine. (That's with the a/c off, ecutek2 and dyno'd twice!!!!!!!) Any incline and it's game over. Heatsoak kills it.

by thatsgoodsquishy on 09-01-10 07:31 PM Put an Electronic Boost Controller (EBC) on it. I installed mine with a simple toggle switch in the power lead for it, when it gets stupid hot i flick the switch, the EBC turns off and the b4 reverts to waste gate pressure of 6psi, and it aint gunna ping on 6psi. Its even easier than than swapping between boost levels on the EBC, which is the other easy way to turn it down. I installed the switch in the front of the ash tray behind the handle sorta bit with a black waterproof boot on it and it is practically invisible if ya don't know its there. Great way to reduce the power dramatically if your lending the car to parents/siblings/mates etc |

by FOZ13 on 09-01-10 07:31 PM If i had to do it all again I would go with aquamist and a retune. 2 tunes to flash in, one meth/ water mix and the other straight water. |

by d.g.c. on 10-01-10 11:04 AM I have considered a waterspray set up for the existing top mount XoN, but have heard mixed reactions. some people like them, some don't. I thought i'd put the money towards a fmic. Hopefully that will be problem solved. |

by B4Cruiser on 10-01-10 01:33 PM Since cutting more of my front bumper for better airflow to FMIC, pinging hasn't been an issue on boost. But considering its meant to peak at 44 degrees today in Melb, we'll see.....

by d.g.c. on 10-01-10 07:30 PM Unfortuately Walts i am serious. My car frustrates the shit out of me. It'll start pinging when it's in the low thirties. (Same mods as yours except cat back exhaust). Very annoying. Water spray, water injection, air to water intercooler or front mount - I don't know what the hell to do!!!!! Anyway, B4Cruiser. How did your car handle the Melbourne heat today? |

Bugger, Sorry to hear about the pinging
I say "drive it like you stole it, Don't worry about pinging, Then if it breaks, Fix it"

I know your pain.... Mine was a ping-machine but with the FMIC, cai and retune, car was good yesterday in the 40+ heat with a slight ping when i gave it a squirt past 4500rpm. Previously, my car would ping in 26+ degrees and go into limpmode which use to (like you) sh1t the hell outa me. Would you consider the option of a FMIC? Theres a thread from Scarles who are redoing their kit to try keep the foggies and smaller core to maybe avoid cutting the crashbar too. This woulda been good before i got it! :p |

me too. never been before actually. being someone who's not into sport, i find that anything longer than a 20/20 only succeeds at making me sleep... thankfully most sport is far better live. |

Same, Never been a huge cricket fan, Don't mind watching the aussie's sometimes, but the 20/20 is the most entertaining live. |
