Project G20 Racecar: AEM AQ-1 Data Logger Install
By Steve Rockwood
My memory is horrible. Outside of which landmarks to aim for, my recollection of what I just did to nail that last corner just right is downright absent, and I couldn't really even tell you if it actually was nailed just right. Peak coolant temp on that last session? Hell if I know, seemed fine when I bothered to look at it. A/F ratios? The guy behind me said I shot flames on decel, so rich would be my guess. Intake temps? No clue. The fact is, there's a lot going on inside a racecar, and it requires a whole hell of a lot more of my attention than I can give. Enter the AEM AQ-1 Data Logger.
TESTED: Goodyear Eagle RS Competition Tire
The most important part of a race car, and likely the largest expense you’ll have in any given racing weekend, is tires. As a result, I want to make those expensive gumballs last as long as possible without going slow. In the never ending game of rubberized trade-offs, we installed a set of Goodyear Eagle RS DOT R-compound tires on Project G20 Racecar.

In a straight out rebellion against said polished piles of crap we have come up with a designation of sorts. When we find a product we like, one that is cutting edge, works well, makes sense, bests others in performance etc.... we will bestow it with the honor of being MotoIQ "Certified Legit".
Tested: Palmer Performance Engineering's DashCommand
Technology is amazing. Back in the heyday of the import scene, people who had serious setups – or wanted to look like they had serious setups – had rows on rows of gauges. The closer the resemblance to the cockpit of a Boeing 747 your Civic's dash looked, the more street cred you had. These days, however, products like Palmer Performance Engineering's DashCommand takes those rows of gauges, and puts them into a device that fits in the palm of your hand.

KW has been looking at their product line up and has made a decision to start adding some applications for some of the classic Japanese exotics from the Japanese supercar heyday of the early to mid 90’s. KW has already come up with coilovers for the MK IV Supra and the NSX. The FD RX-7 is on the R&D schedule and we helped with the R&D for the latest Japanese classic addition, the Nissan Z32 300ZX.

Fastbrakes is an Arizona company whose claim to fame is making affordable brake upgrade kits for many cars and having applications for niche models like the Nissan Sentra SE-R. Since some of us race SE-Rs as they are a cheap and sturdy platform, we have a lot of experience with Fastbrakes' upgrade kits for the car.
Over the past few months in-between other projects we have been tinkering around with AEM’s water methanol injection kit on our in-house Evo IX project car. You can read about the kit here. A few weeks ago we installed AEM’s new injection monitoring system which you can read about here.
When our friends at K&N heard that we had gotten an IS-F, they got excited and insisted that we try out their Typhoon high flow air intake system as they claimed that they had gotten excellent results in their testing.
We have been friends with Synapse Engineering's chief engineer Peter Medina for a long time, since before he started the company and even before he had the ideas that launched its product line. Many years ago Peter came up with an original twist for pneumatic controlled devices, a piston actuated control valve. Not just any piston actuated control valve either, Peter's valve had an actuator piston with two substrates, basically two individual pistons coaxially divided on one piston head, basically a stepped piston.
