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

    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
    • But if you had to go bury a body in the forest, would you not put that in the boot? Most of them are >=90kg these days.
