Super ! Are you using a glue in a start zone? 14,8 - very good result with a standart t/charger. Do you have a problem with 2nd gear, when shifting? (I have a sort of stall/delay for 0,3 sec, thinking to install A/T computer, may be this could help).

You refering to track bite(Glue)? No i don't. Yes there is a slight delay on changing to 2nd gear, but not too bad. Will the A/T computer take this away? A better oil might also help, will try that first. It doesn't spin of the line but when the boost comes in it looses grip and then I lift a bit and plant it again. I have a set of semi slicks which I only use now and again and then I don't get any wheel spin.

I also see that it kicks over harder(jerky) to 2nd and 3rd gear if you manual change gears below 3000/3500rpms. Do you find the same?

Hi guys, haven't been here in awhile, nothing new on my side but what have you guys been up to?

Did you guys advance the timing on your cars, well if you chipped your car? Did it make a difference? I want to advance the timing 1 or 2 degrees at the top of the rev range but only if I run her with decent fuel though.

I think it is better to change the turbine
you have a EGT sensor installed?

yes going to upgrade the turbine at a later stage. I don't have an EGT sensor installed why? My tuner will be able to check that on the dyno while setting it...I would think?

EGT the gauge can tell much, and concerning corners of ignition the same
And the turbine works already on the verge of the possibilities, the further experiments are dangerous, it is possible to ruin simply the motor, such cases already were

cool thanks I understand. I would think the YRV's ECU should advance the timing automatically if I have racing fuel in the tank but not sure if it does though, I think the water/meth injection might already cause the timing to advance and when I use racing fuel it doesn't advance further and so it doesn't make extra power.

Into the account of work ECU you are right, but there were cases when ignition was not rolled away.
