What have you done to your Ecoboosted vehicle today?

[ZSHO]

Hello, gang,

I had a few questions about my new EcoOwerParts hot-piped and CAI about overheating and defeating the purpose of the function of the cool air intake.

It's made of aluminum and I hope this helps you guys out. I'd appreciate the feedback.

The GTDI engines get real hot plain and simple! Glad EPP made the changes from Stainless to the aluminum version which is less prone to heat soak while stainless most likely would of burned your finger to the touch IMO! Enjoy the pipes which are a work of art. Z

Swapped out the "green" valve cover adapter (HL2ZX-6762-A) after doing the other one last week to see if it helps with idle smoke.  Mine isn't problematic but it's a TSB and it's something anyone can do themselves for very little money.

I finally received the new EPP Dual intake in Gloss Black To compliment the rest of the Hotpipes! Pics of install and fair review coming soon. Z

Ordered up some redline gear oil and some Amazon basics full synthetic oil for my 2k oil change. Did a trans drain and fill today as well as plugs yesterday

That amazon basics synthetic oil is good stuff.

I've been running it for my last few oil changes. It's gone up in price but still not horrible

Just placed my order for the Zex Safe Shot Nitrous kit.  I'll be running a 10 shot to cool the intake charge and add a middle POWA at the same time.  No need for any ice at the track and hopefully the DA won't matter ever again

Will do!  Weird as I don't worry it won't work...its nitrous...i just wonder how well?  I'm guessing less is more.  10 shot is the smallest I can do I believe.  This will go directly after the IC before the meth nozzles and IAT.  The rep from Zex said it should do exactly what I want it to do.  And bc its such a small shot it doesn't need a lot of pressure so a purge kit isn't needed or a bottle warmer.  $385 out the door shipped.

I corrected your statement in bold.

Yes haha you are correct!  You said everything the tech said and you said it first.  I just wanted to ask some questions about the jet sizes and since I had them on the phone, said to them what you said...as if it were my thoughts...they said...yeah...yup ...uh huh...

This is your idea buddy!  I think its brilliant ....on paper its brilliant....lol I'm sure it is in real world testing.

I think when you plan for a big improvement ...you can tend to get led down...for this I actually want it to work just a little...and I have a feeling its going to work even better...best thing since sliced bread!  And it's upgradeable so I can make it a wet kit if I want

I just want to see your reaction when you see your IAT's drop like a rock with the nitrous is used.

Oh man I cant wait!  I'm sure my jaw will drop and stay there.  I want to know what it will do for my car....im guess she will love it!  Poor Brad, I asked him about this and I ordered it without an answer yet but I know he's game.  My fuel trims are fairly fat with methonal ...i don't know if this would happen but it would be wicked cool if I didn't even need to change my tune with such a small shot.  Question is do I just hit it and let the meth and IC take it away or hold the spray the whole time?
