Hey guys,

this is a question out of curiosity not whinging....anyway..

had my car tuned recently and seeing how it responds to holding a constant throttle of 3000rpm+ where my stock turbo has the potential to be @ full boost and then rolling onto throttle vs instant WOT.

I found rolling onto throttle pulled much harder intially compared to WOT which i was expecting.

However i expected using instant WOT to then after hesitating, start pulling just as hard as rolling onto boost but it seemed to pull the same all the way to redline.

So im curious whether thats just the case for turbo cars or its due to my "inferieor, peice of shit, why dont you get a real ecu, SAFC II tune"

Cheers

Pic for all the safc haters :)

It just feels like it is being more responsive when you roll on... I'm sure of you grabbed a stop watch you'd be surprised.

Could be but its quite a noticable difference between being thrown back or not.

Just had car tuned.

Still hesitates...

And you're happy with the tune?

Hesistates may be a poor choice of words.

Cruising above 3k rpm if i then go straight to WOT it will still pull, but incomparison to cruising at the same rpm then rolling onto the throttle to reach WOT, it doesnt pull as hard.

Id expecting rolling onto throttle to reach WOT as opposed to instant WOT to respond better initially but it seems going from cruising to instant WOT makes it pull less all the way to redline not just initially "hesitate" to pull as hard.

I think you're just feeling the sudden rush from the boost build up when you mash the pedal.

Like Joeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy mentioned, just use a stop watch

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
