Yellow... for sure it's faster; I read that on the internet. Yes.

Exactly! And Lord knows I need another distraction

I decided on yellow springs and calipers. A buddy tells me in I have the springs blasted and ready to pick up Wed morning, he'll grab them and drop them at his buddy's for yellow podercoat. Now I'm pretty sure Yellow PC is another 5% over just yellow paint alone so last night I pulled the rear springs and took them to the bead blaster....and they just laughed at the blaster. I wire brushed and abrasive wheeled most of it of then back to blasting......I'm going to switch to sand and see if that's better but however it happens they will be ready in for pickup tomorrow morning

Yellow caliper paint is on its way too.

I think my HF blaster is just completely worn out...but I just the springs cleaned up with a wire wheel and a selection of abrasive options. It took forever but I now the extra speed I get with yellow will make it all worth while!

You know what you must do...

The yellow caliper paint will be here tomorrow

In other news I just got the case for the new ecu. About the same size as the old AEM/EL


LOTs of pins, I can't even imagine running out of anything


And nice sealed, locking, and covered wire connectors


Now it just needs an actual ecu board

Haha, I was too quick on the draw and posted that caliper pic before seeing that you had decided to do springs and calipers. It will be money well spent without a doubt!

Lots of exciting developments here. The good news is that this is making me feel so lazy that I'm gonna get cracking on getting that simulator stuff up and running in an IDE. Looking forward to having something to contribute.

I also have a question for you about header design and modeling. I want to do a 6-3-1 for my bike - do tools like Dynomation and PipeMax let you model specific exhaust layouts like that and experiment with different primary, secondary, and final length/dia? I paid for a design consult with an engineer but some of what he came up is hard for me to reconcile with the bit of theory and practice that I know, so I'm looking for a second opinion. Something I could play with and see curves going up and down would be ideal, provided the results could be trusted...

I had an old copy of pipemax, it will spit out what it thinks is the optimal tri-y, which could be 6-3-1 or 6-2-1, kind of doesn't matter for flow but will change sound which is what you're after.

Kind of the same with dynomation but while dynomation will make a suggestion it runs whatever you say you have.
Pipiemax doesn't understand the tri-ys i build from the burns stainless design, dynomation doesnt suggest it but has no problem analyzing it. Pipe max did tell me 2,3,4 harmonics stuff that helped me understand stand what Burns did.

Long story short, I can run a few options for you.

He can just do what I did on the Dune Buggy and just make what fits and looks nice and then plug that into Dynomation and watch every change he makes loose power.
squirrel and all that.

I think the coating Ferrari uses on springs is some of the toughest stuff around. It is also on the throttle pedal.
