Hey guys so yesterday i tried to do a power slide, and kick the back end out. however my back wheels lost traction and it felt like the front wheel saved me. I've been told i need to make a switch to cut off the "bosch" control, which makes the car rwd? If i turn just the VDC off will i be able to kick the back end out a little or do i need to cut/make a switch for the bosch cable? 

 

Cheers

They are RWD anyway.  I have heard rumours that the VDC off only partially disables VDC, and holding it down for 10sec will turn it off fully.  I have never tested this though.

I suggest you find a suitable location to test it (private property or race track), and give it a try.

Disconnecting the yaw sensor may work too, but it will also throw plenty of warning lights.

Yeah your car will keep trying to save your life.

holding for VDC for 10 sec will turn it off so you can do cool skids. But if the car notices no loss of traction after about 30sec of turn it off some of the life saving computer power will come back on.

So hold for 10sec (VDC turns off), Do a cool skid within 30sec and it will stay off

P.S the 30sec is a guess on how long

    • Hi All,    I have my BW EFR 8474 with a T4 split 1.05 rear housing. Rear housing is ceramic coated and drilled and tapped for EMAP take off.  Supported 520awkw at 35psi through the 8HP with ~5k rpm spare on the BW 127k limit. Ran a 9.98.    Turbo is one of the first that was released but only done ~3k kms.    Asking $2800 happy to negotiate. Only selling to upgrade.   Located Gladstone QLD happy to ship. 
    • Hi is the Toshiba sceeen still available?
    • Just wondering how come the hood was grinded down? 
    • I have no hard data to report, but I have to say, having driven it to work and back all week, mostly on wet roads (and therefore mostly not able to contemplate anything too outrageous anywhere)..... it is real good. I turned the boost controller on, with duty cycle set to 10% (which may not be enough to actually increase the boost), and the start boost set to 15 psi. That should keep the gate unpressurised until at least 15 psi. And rolling at 80 in 5th, which is 2050 rpm, going to WOT sees the MAP go +ve very quickly and it has >5 psi by the time it hits 90 km/h. That's still <2.5k rpm, so I think it's actually doing really well. (I edited this from a previous version where I stated 80km/h was <2000, but that was a false memory. If I am rolling at ~1700 in 5th and floor it, it will start making boost before it goes over 2k - which is a separate "experiment" leading to the same conclusion. Which is that the boost threshold is actually quite low. It's not fast there, obviously, but it certainly makes progress towards going fast, which is not what it's been like for a long while!!) Because of all the not-quite-ideal things that have been in place since the turbo first went on, it felt laggy. It's actually not. The response appears to be as good as you could hope for with a highflow.
    • Or just put in a 1JZ, and sell me the NEO head 😎
