Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

Took some pictures this morning on the nice camera. :) 

Is that a healthy coating of brake dust on the front wheels or a good paint job? ;)

Likely those parts will work, they're literally just blowers to shove air into the exhaust to push the cats way lean so they heat up faster. Assuming it's a failed air pump and not a failed air valve or relay or any other parts. Since it's just a motor, you can just jump fused power to the wires and it should run or not run, the valve I'm not sure if it's vacuum or electrical operation. If it's vacuum operated then it's fairly simple to check the vacuum supply, output from the vacuum solenoid, and to just apply vacuum to the valve to see if it opens or not.

Well I mean in terms of the ecu knowing it’s working correctly. 

 

He could get the right part but maybe it’s missing something and the ecu still thinks it’s broken 

 

idk. Aftermarket parts can be weird sometimes. Reminds me of when we got an aftermarket MAF for a suburban and the idle would just jump up and down from 500-1300 ish rpm really quickly. It was almost funny

It knows it's working or not working via the O2 sensors showing the exhaust pushed full lean when it's running, the pump itself is literally just a two wire blower that's turned on via a relay, the relay is likely ECM controlled so that relay circuit is monitored and the O2 sensor feedback is monitored, maybe the air injection valve is monitored or it's control solenoid. Literally this part is less complicated than a PC case fan ?

EBC Yellowstuff has some weird metallurgy with bare aluminum. They stick together for whatever reason. Lumabrite takes it right off but I'm too lazy to pull the wheel and tire off to clean my rims- and Lumabrite will eat paint like a son of a bitch so I'm sure as hell not gonna do that with the wheel on the vehicle.

Trashbags and a bit of painters tape m8

@bcredeur97 this summer I'm going to pull the wheels off and get *all* of the brake dust off. Inside, outside, all of it. Lumabrite and a dollar store toilet brush and a Mothers ball brush on a drill. Wheels are gonna be *spotless*

You think that now, 5 minutes in to scrubbing you're gonna go fuck it. :P

@Real_PhillBert @NinJake @iDeFecZx did you guys get yours yet? I actually don't know if Dan is affected by this (if it's isolated to NA MK3's)

 

Might also affect @Not_Sean but I don't think so

Are Stoptech Sport (309 compound) pads available for your application? I run them on my Celica, and while they do dust a lot the dust cleans off easily. They stop great and feel really good too, with my summer tires (and measured from an old Ipod Touch) I was seeing around high .8 G's when stopping from 60 on old somewhat rough and cracked asphalt without warming the brakes up prior. I wanted to re-create what a true panic stop would be, and you usually haven't done brake warmups prior to that.

Yeah I got mine last week. 

 

I'm not thrilled about having to let them touch my car though.

-recall snip-

Got mine a few days ago. Not happy about having to take a '17 into a shop for a recall either, and I swear if there's any damage to my fuel tank I'm asking for a RS!

Thats generous of ford to fix that issue for free. To other manufacturers that would be considered a feature.

With my Yellowstuff as long as its after the first two stopsigns of the morning you’re stopping just fine. Love my EBCs ❤️

I used to have HawkHPS that were like that, first stop or two in the morning sucked. The Stoptech 309 pads are great cold first thing first stop and just get better as they warm up. I've had them way hot with 400 degree rotors and no fade and no loss in performance after they've cooled. Sometimes the rears squeak after some abuse but it clears itself up. They're rated to 1200F intermittent, give them a shot sometime, they're less costly than the EBC pads and great for a performance street car that sees intermittent track.

I love my PBR/Axxis Ultimates. they do however make some noise when braking while reversing sometimes. or if it's below like ~45F outside.

 

they also bite. all of the time. cold/hot/whatever. But they are a bit aggressive and would dust a lot on a car that you have to use brakes a lot on (pretty much anything but a miata or other small very light car)

 

they are also quite hard to find for my car... I got them from importrp, but they didn't have them listed on the website for a 01-05 miata with sport brakes (and still don't). Had to call them lol

The Stoptech 309 get "sticky" feeling on release when it's really cold out, I run a different pad on my winter car, the Raybestos EHT. Great daily driver pad with GG friction and decent heat tolerance but for sure not a track pad. They do however make almost zero dust which is amazing for how well they stop.
