so in second gear it feels like the car bogs down? you are probably losing traction in 1st gear and shifting way too early...take 1st to redline without spinning the tires, then shift into 2nd see if it bogs down at all.

 

[mp5jeff]

that would explain why it doesn't do it in 3rd-5th, because you aren't really makin enough whp to spin 2nd all the way through...

I dunno how to explain it... Its like after the turbo is fully spooled in 1st gear and i shift into second just to "cruise" It's like the turbo has so much pressure in it that it can't handle it and blows out and stops the turbo from spinning and then it spools up again.

 

[mp5jeff]

does it do it when you are driving normal(not redlining 1st gear)?

No it doesn't. Only when i hit the gas in 1st... Then again if i continue flooring it in 2nd. Then it doesn't do it at all either.
Sometimes it will make the car jerk... Liike the turbo doesn't know what to do.

 

[mp5jeff]

it really sounds like you are just losing traction in 1st and shifting too early...

 

[mp5jeff]

try this- slowly redline 1st without spinning the tires, then shift hard into 2nd and go wot, see if it still does it.

Hmmm i see your point about shifting to early... Understood... (bowdown)
If you never need a set of hawk hps pads. Ill hook u up with a good deal. Thanks.

I was at our local track and i ran a 15.318 @ 91.660
60ft time of 2.416 (Only got 2 runs and this was my second..)

@ 2500 elevation you convert it by
Et: x .97
speed: X 1.07

14.858
98.076

I think that convertion factor is for N/A cars, but I could be wrong (dunno)

Lol is higher altitude worse for turbos or N/A?

supercharged and turbocharged cars use half factor

So turbo charged cars are affected less? Sorry I'm dumb =(

well that's what NHRA thinks, and they came up with the altitude factor.

 

[Jeff@Tri-Point]

So what would i use as a half factor then? half of the .96? so .98?

at 2500 elevation your time was 15.318 @ 91.660
corrected is:

15.318x.98525=15.092
91.660x1.01555=93.085

unless my MSP = really slow... Do you really think thats right! =( The MPH?
Jesus.
D/P/Exahust and CAI.

15.518x.98525 = 15.289
87.963x1.01555 = 89.331!!! =( No this can't be

I don't know, maybe I'm mistaking (dunno)

 

[mp5jeff]

if you are shifting into 2nd too early, that will mess up your e/t and especially your mph..

I shift at 7k without my boost up'd and stock boost.
