Yes. so far its been very consistent, its just a matter of getting the right amount of torque requested to be useful for a good launch, but not enough to grenade anything.
That sounds like it’s going to be a pretty nice feature. Is shift line pressure on the tcu tune customizable on order or just standardized for everyone?
as far as I can tell, its standardized, I haven't even thought to ask about it. What I do know is that the car shifts fast and smooth.
that my car does now too. very happy with that
I’m looking forward to it. CPI is getting installed soon and then just have to wait for ek1 lite to come off back order.
$500 is cheap for an AWD dyno tune (used to work in a tuning shop with an AWD dyno).
Yeah I assumed as much... from my understanding then I'd basically be purchasing the Weistec tune as a base tune and they'd continue to add to the tune as they have it on the dyno. Not sure if that would be done with their in house tuner or through communication with a tuner at Wiestec.
That sounds similar to what we did. You would licence the software and a bunch of baseline maps from a company, then do tweaks based on dyno results or logging. The positive was that company (alientech) had a very good support net.
my car will run 11.8s with No launch (just slam on the gas) with the sxth tune I have currently, which is suppose to be a carbon copy of the tune @AWDGT2 has. with a 5lb launch using the brake snip, I ran an 11.64 with a really bad 60 foot time (1.86) at 121mph 1/4 mile trap on the street, and I spun at the start and top of 1st. that same launch should net a high 11.5 on the strip, which is more or less what I am aiming for right now for the IFO bracket, but based off trap speed alone, if I had gotten a good 60 foot time on that run, it should have been an 11.4. Darren has shown me his logs and has been launching on anywhere from 11-15lbs of boost on this tune, which is netting him those low 11s high 10s.
Got it that makes sense. Still great times for the investment.
once you hit a certain point its more about weight removal and traction. the better the tires, the more boost you can launch under.
Got it. That one dude on FB I don’t know if he’s on here, Brandon is hitting mid 11s map 6 jb4 only somehow. Dragy verified. That’s crazy.
I know who you're talking about. He is launching with lots of boost and going downhill. You can see it in the draggy runs.
Ah ok thought his dragy had some positive slope runs but I might be mistaken. I definitely won’t be launching my car with high boost and am looking more for solid 60-130 or 40+mph onward times.
I don’t know for sure if the TCU is different between the GTS and other models. I mainly know there is a difference between the E and H shifter, but for both ECU and TCU for your calibration ID, there is a free “stock” flash file to return the programming to.
Well, based on that you can just plug and play a LSD from a RWD car into any of our AWD cars, the difference would have to be in the programming somewhere. Logically it would make sense if the extra programing just told the front diff to not engage, as you can get the same effect by pulling the AWD fuse when the car is not on.
