I have a turbo, CX five. As many have mentioned when I wanna pass or go through an on-ramp with some speed, I hit the sport mode and it helps with control coming around turns or accelerating to pass people. I also have paddle shifters stock and occasionally use it, I always fill with 93 octane/30% e85 I put race fuel and noticed no difference (stock) By the way, I have zero performance mods. I plan on installing the JB4, corkboard TIP. Just waiting for a sale. After I install the performance mods above, I plan on testing race fuel/E 85,35% to see if there’s any different.
I was debating on meth injection but the car is still under warranty and I don’t want to mess with it. The JB4 and TIP are easy to remove/swap. I really wanna put a switch to open the exhaust dump before the second catalytic or even 1 converter. Also planning to put 20% to 30% with 93 octane to see if it makes any difference. When I had my BMW 335I (twin turbo) I was able to cut half a second off my time from 0 to 60 one, using Cobb tuner for 93 octane and 30% E 85.
I’m looking for 300 wheel horsepower, but with such a small turbo, it’s nearly impossible, operating the turbo or using meth injection.
Disappointment that my previous CX five GTR had a disable traction control. Wish there was a way to turn it off. I heard that running the sports mode, but there are mixed reviews about transmission problems down the lower period I did run 93 octane and I can confirm that at high speed (who will shift into fifth gear at over 100+ mph). Of course, this is all done in Mexico.
Finally, the transmission is meant for EPA best gas, mileage, not performance. I plan on waiting until the CX 60 comes out with the twin turbo 6. I heard that JB4 before has already come out with plug and play with 2 security connections versus the multiple connection to get it Connected. Planning on wait versus the CX 60. See the difference in weight.
