yep very impressive

read a review where they say the extra 40hp feels like 100, and theyre probably right

ill look into swapping my '10 for an '11 when it hits the showrooms

ill have around 10k kms on it by then

Really? I would just get a tune on an 09 or above. it will feel faster than the new one easily.

as much as i want to, and would have already done so by now, i like being held tight at night with a manufacturer warranty

ive been down the void warranty route in modifying my M3 and it was no fun when things (inevitiably) go wrong

it will be a drainer to have to repaint/clear bra the sills, re-dynamat the rear seats, and swap over a few other bolts on, so ill drive it when its available and see if it's worth the hassle

quick note on that vid, seems theres no axle tramp when using the LC like all the series 1 LC vids

what i really want to know is if they've gotten rid of that 0.5 seconds of no-mans land jumping on the throttle from standstill

It really appears that all the difference besides the extra 40 HP (which would account for all of maybe 0.2 second) is in that initial jump. Other than fine tuning the launch RPM what else could they have done? It would be interesting to observe the boost gauge on the new model to see if they have managed to get the turbos spooling up more with foot on brake and accelerator so that more torque is available instantaneously and more smoothly at lower RPM without the monstrous RPM shocking the drivetrain as was the case with LC1. Has anyone played with the new Cobb Accessport with the TCM module and launched at the preset 3300 or 3700 and seen what difference that makes to 0-100 times?

Very impressive nonetheless. I wonder if the quarter mile has improved significantly?

Yeah i agree. On it's own - compared to common mods most of us do (exhaust, tune, e85, etc) it's nothing specia really, but as a full weight STOCKER car (a fraction of the cost of comparable vehicles) if they are running 0~100km.hr in 3.04s then that is seriously impressive.

Yes but Domino that would be a false economy spending all that cash just to for the sake of maintaining your warranty and be doing sub 3's. You'd be dropping $40K by selling your current car and then having to spend another $20-$30K extra (if the rumours are correct) on the new one. You'd probably be able to buy the AMS or Switzer 1000HP packages for that kind of money and have some left over for the "inevitable" breakages.

However to be more sensible I'd go down the Cobb, Midpipe, E85 route and get Martin to upgrade the trans to take the extra grunt if you're really concerned. Warrranty is worth something but not that much!

the change over wont be a deciding factor

will wait to see how/if it drives any different

as much as i love this car, there are less tangible things i value in the new model - the uprated interior materials, improved paint quality, etc that i will wait to assess in the flesh

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
