for giggles, try two 100 mm EDF units inline to stuff the intake, might give you 4 lbs of zero lag boost, that wont upset the ECU. rough potential of 30% more power at whim for under 200 bucks?

@Drunken_Hamster 5 ай бұрын
Look into giving it parallel steering or even reverse-Ackerman in order to possibly reduce understeer while on power and at high cornering loads. Formula 1 uses reverse-Ackerman in order to turn harder since a tire with more load can withstand a higher slip angle before losing lateral grip. It's also better while in a drift as the trailing tire will not cause drag on the vehicle, and will point more into the direction of travel, hopefully pulling the front end (in the case of FWD) towards the direction of steering in a more stable fashion with less chance of overcompensation since reverse-Ackerman functions as "toe-in while turning."
