Hi i have a stock b18 gsr turbo on 8 psi with a lsd s9b and i want to do a trackday does anyone have any tips for me what to do and what not to do the car is a ek good suspension and wheel and tyre setup and brake disc all around but i am not worried about the car i am worried about the engine i have it tune and for now safe on max 8k rpm because of stock valve springs it rides good but i want to know what I should do more to make sure the engine and all are good and safe...

 

First few things to consider...

Replace your brake fluid with high temp (motul 600 or similar)

Get a set of track pads

Fresh oil change

Make sure your coolant system is capable of 20+ minutes of full thrash

Turn the boost down until you are comfortable with the car on the limit, "doing a pull" isn't the same as 20-25 minute sessions of giving it hell. (if boost isn't setup to build in a linear fashion it can unsettle the car on exit so be weary of your throttle inputs on the edge of adhesion)

There are plenty more things to look for but just make sure in general the car is free of leaks and mechanically sound (check wheel bearings and wheel studs/lugs).

 

Hmmmm thanks i will look into those thing 👌🏾👍🏾💪🏾

 

this? coming from you?

 

Yes haha I have no boost. Im not going to disable all the VEEtax.

 

Whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhatttt ?
Nobody asks about driving experience and if any tracking experience?
Yer slipping guys.

Correct advise otherwise turn that booooooooooooooooooooost way down.
Let us know how many track days you have actually had what where you plan to run???

 

You got one of those half radiators? Just stay home...

 

it was obvious.... no need to ask.

 

What is your current cooling setup and where are you located?

A half rad with good ducting will struggle to keep the car cool at just about any temp, especially above 65 degrees. I know this, I did one warm track day on a half rad back in the day and quickly upgraded.

With a good tune the engine will be just fine as long as your cooling is up to the challenge. I run 10psi on a stock B16 making 305hp all day long at temps above 80-90 degrees. This is with a ducted full radiator, oil cooler, hood vent, thermal wrap on all engine bay turbo components and a boxed in intake.

 

id find another car to track or put the car back to stock
