Planning oil change. And mount Ptune oil distribution block. Oil pressure and oil temp sensors. Plx gauge. Stainless steel oil return line. Extended throttle pedal. New front brake pads.

Any reason for the oil distribution block? I hadn't though the F20 series had any issue with oiling. Also, going to tie that into the factory system for illuminating the check engine light?

Since I added the turbo the car oil gets hot so I want to monitor temp and pressure while driving.

Oh I didn't know you turboed it. I'm rarely home anymore to check forums :/

I was just in Utah looking at a huge centrifugal steam compressor that was burning up its oil. It was uh...fun stuff.

Anything else you're planning to do for the oil? Larger sump, oil cooler? etc?

Well, with that distribution block you could also do some oil filter research on which one is the best for length of life by looking at the differential pressure and pore size (micron rating).

Already added an external air to oil cooler. I also send a sample of the oil to black stone for analysis.

And you're still running hot? Damn dude. How's your coolant temp fairing?

A tad high. But I think my gauge needs to be rescaled I think it's reading high by 8 degrees.

Installed a new fuel pump. The walboro 255 started acting up at low rpms and was making some disturbing noises. I got about 5-6 years and close to 50k miles out of it. Installed a new AEM 320. So far it hasn't given me any issues and is a lot quieter than the walboro ever was.

Finally got around to cleaning up the mess in my interior from the dragon trip. I love the smell of a freshly zaino'ed interior. Their leather cleaner and conditioner are awesome. There was so much dirt and leaves inside, it looked like I drove it top down. The sad thing is, I cleaned it right before the dragon.
