Haven't got the trans cooler hooked up yet, but have been working on some sound deadening on the doors. Just finished both the front & rear doors, then added a layer of MLV to the trunk.
Basic process for doors:
Remove door card, set aside
Carefully pull off vapor barrier (if you want to reuse...
Alright talked to Claude-
Basically sounds like we could still have fun with the drop-in turbo on the CVT. Would still tune to limit torque at low rpm., but the the hp boost would make the power band longer and more linear. This could actually reduce stress on the transmission while the...
For CVT would you assume they'd keep the torque limited around 260, and powerband in the 4500 - 5200 range (even with the drop in turbo)? Running Phearable 1.5R now with full bolt ons which does this.
I just saw the charts pushing torque past 300, and have generally seen 260 referenced as the...

I'd love to bolt this on but think it's a no-go on the CVT Lol
It could be worth refinancing if your interest rate is high- local credit unions usually carry the best rates on that. But if you got a promotional interest rate, that's probably the best available right now.
Wild! The switched inlet on the CVT wasn't really on anyone's radar. And that it comes from the ADX... even more interesting.
Feel doubtful that PRL and others would make a new inlet just for the 2026+ CVT DE4 unless they were planning on mods for the ADX.
The ADX has a L15BE engine while the...
Was able to check the intercooler outlet and confirmed no boost leak. Will have to do some more max boost testing because I've only seen it hit 21psi flat so far. The tune on map 3 is supposed to be 25, but they may have limited it to 21 on the cvt.. perhaps.
While I had the bumper off I "pre"...
Might be too out of the box, but could crowd source to get 1 of each then they float around from person to person for controlled tests. After the first person, there shouldn't be much of a break in period.
Off topic, but have been discussing a custom DP blanket with PTP. Was thinking about...
Yes less wheel hop and it makes it feel like you're sitting over the front axel more
But generally feel like its tough to compare RMMs. How many people test out more than 1? And with break in... Just tough to compare.
I feel ya - just take a peek at your current harness for the positive and negative terminal and compare to pic. You just use an exacto to cut the sheath and then reroute the wires.
Here's a slightly different angle
You probably wouldn't need to split it without the battery tie down.
The...
So all of their installs (and most companies) instruct you to do that for any install.
But, actually, on the front strut install the wiring harness for the battery may not fit under the strut bar. What you may have to do is splice the negative and positive connections from the wiring harness...
