Flash Back - Pikes Peak Round Table
This is the week of the 2024 Pikes Peak Hill Climb, and our car and the team are up on the mountain getting ready for the race this Sunday.
With all that is going on, we didn't have the chance to record a new episode of the Podcast, so this seemed like the perfect time to go back to our Pikes Peak Roundtable from episode 30 of the Podcast.
This was recorded as we were getting ready for the 2021 Pikes Peak Hill Climb, and we had on a number of guests with a ton of experience on Pikes Peak.
We talk to:
Scott Crouch - Flatirons Tuning driver
Andy Kingsley
Stephan Verdier
Victor Kuhns
Dave Kern
It was a great discussion, and definitely worth checking out if you missed this episode.
Thanks for watching and thanks for your support!

      Trust me when I say this - We would LOVE to. The main hurdle is cost. Finding a well documented, low mileage car that would be fit for emissions testing is near impossible as they are all upwards of 20 years old at this point. I can't (and won't) say it will never happen, but the business case becomes increasingly more difficult the older the cars get. - Marshall@COBB

  • @Yknotvideos

    The expansion tank vents to the coolant reservoir via a tube that is kept in coolant at all times. This allows the system to heat up and cool down, while pushing coolant in and out of the expansion tank without sucking air back in (which could lose your bleed of the system). Since the radiator vents to the top of the expansion tank, you want it to be able to push coolant out, but not pull anything back, because it could pull air back in and lose the bleed. The recommended way to set this system up basically allows for the proper regulation of pressure and control of thermal expansion in the system while having an ambient-pressure coolant reservoir available to the user and not allowing any air to enter the system. That being said, if you REALLY fill the expansion tank up, you probably won't ever get enough air in the cooling system to cause a problem, but if you 1. don't get the tank completely full, or 2. allow air to enter the expansion tank in some way (e.g. low coolant in the reservoir), you could end up in trouble.

    Awesome video!!! I am learning lots. A related question of ethanol fuel system and the COBB hardware and software; can your gear and software be set up to regulate when an ethanol+water injection system is set to off, on, and then turns off again? I have heard from a few sources that driving very short distances, say between 0 to 10 minutes, with either E30-85 or ethanol+water active from a cold start can cause a black gel like sludge of deposits to build up in the engine and cause major problems. So to clarify, can the COBB hardware and software be set up to engage the use of ethanol+water (in the intake manifold or charge cooler) after a few minutes of initial driving after cold start, when the engine has had a chance to warm up, and then alternatively be manually selected to turn off whenever the driver wants to? Can an existing engine temperature sensor on the car (or added sensor) be used to trigger the start of ethanol+water use when the ECU knows that the temperature is in the correct window for optimal use?

    • @MR__JUSTIN

Then push out reminders to the customers that the mod is not EPA street legal, so it should be used at their own risk.

      I understand the why they hand to do it; with the whole EPA thing and all but what I find reprehensible is that they knew well before selling the flex fuel kits on the GDs that they were going to do what they did. They sold the kits anyways, and then they said, "sorry, all sales are final" No refunds. That is not an EPA thing, that is a responsibility that a well-established company that the community loves and trusts has a mandate to abide to and that is why I cannot support this company. If you are a consumer, willing to spend hundreds of dollars (which in this economy is crazy expensive) and know that you do not have a guarantee that you will neither get your product or unbeknownst to you it will become obsolete with no way of getting your money back you would think twice about supporting such a company. No company should be allowed to get away with that; not airlines, hotels, or simple aftermarket third party goods. Make a statement with who you patronize with your business and I, for one, will not be supporting COBB in any way.

      @@vannevels6758 Gotcha. Pulling like that could be a lot of things, and the front differential would be quite low on my list of possible causes. A TBD would not usually cause that. I'd guess that suspension bushings being worn or allowing more movement would be the most likely cause. That wouldn't show up on an alignment. Definitely take a good look at all of the front and rear bushings. On the Outbacks, the front rear lower control arm bushings are quite prone to failing and it would cause pulling like you are describing, etc. Hope that helps!

    Did you have to adjust your clutch pedal at all?

      Thanks for your question. No adjustment of the pedal was needed. Thanks for watching and Stay Tuned!

      You should never adjust your clutch pedal unless something goes wrong between the pedal cluster and the master cylinder. This isn't cable days, the important relationship between the pedal and master is to set it up so you have minimal free play between the pedal and master, but you are not preloading the master, which will cause your clutch to not be able to retract.

      @Levibetz I put a twin disc clutchmasters and didn't adjust the pedal, which over extended the pressure plate and warped the discs..

      @@xtingtangx Ah well yeah that's another thing to check, you'd want to setup a pedal stop for that though, the freeplay shouldn't be adjusted IMO.

    Doesn’t work for the STI 6 speed?

    • @FlatironsTuning
      @FlatironsTuning 9 днів тому

      Thanks for the question. Currently this is only available as a "Push" style clutch, so it wouldn't work on the "Pull" style STI 6-speed. I am told that an option for the STI is on its way though, so hopefully it will be an option in the next couple of months. Thanks for watching and Stay Tuned!

      We have the pull style for the STI in production now. ETA is early fall 2024. Otherwise, have to use a push-pull conversion kit. Pull style will only be available in the Track version (as of the day I am typing this).

    Well that explains why my ej257 always has an air pocket in the expansion tank every 2-3 days. I top off my coolant every other day and can’t figure out where it goes. I have no leaks and my outfront v3 block only has 30k on the build so no way it’s the head gaskets lol, I have the mishimoto rad cap on the rad not on the expansion tank. I’ll switch them out and see what happens. My car idles fine at 181-185 but when I’m driving it doesn’t ever go below 190 and sometimes gets to 210. Never goes past that. I’ll order new caps and hopefully that solves my issue.

    Ps the jdm 06 wrx 4:44 5 speed is tough but not tough enough. The bearings failed due to heat. The gears look perfect. But when the bearing fails. And the bearing goes through fifth gear and out the side of the case. With all the marbles that someone put in their before the race lol

    Make sure to mark your territory at the track day in your old car. I always end up dripping the tranny oil on the track. Even the track boss is like damnit rob. Oil on the track again. But at least he laughs cuz I just park it in the grass and go get the clean up kit. I’m a pro by now lol

    To me the smoke looked like oil pushing past the turbo seal and getting into the intake my car does this after sitting for awhile.
