What size tires are you running? I have some phat tires on the tc

 

well im not really the best example since im on stock size dirrezzas. but i went for a ride in my friend dytone's tc making 420 with an lsd, 235 wide tires, and trd coilovers, and he spins through 4th as well. unfortunately for us fwd guys we are constantly fighting physics, so there has to be a tradeoff somewhere.

 

Looks good

 

Also which LSD are you using? I am running 255/40/17 and O.S. Giken LSD.

 

dont have one, yet. but dyltone is running the quaife/trd lsd.

255's are pretty wide though. but i guess the point im trying to make is this. i believe that ptuning was running 275 wide d/r's, lsd, and some pretty stiff coilovers (wich im sure is very uncomfortable on the street), and still there best 60' was 2.1 i believe. all im trying to say is that with as much power as your car will be making, and because the car is fwd, the suspension will need to be beefed up big time if you expect the car to go anywhere when you floor it. otherwise it will just look like this...

what is your best 60ft brett?

 

1.826

 

mine is 2.6..... on snow tires. they didnt work out to well

 

what did this thing lay down ?

 

That why you tune it. I'm going to max it out on the dyno then tune for street and have a separate map for the track. I can setup the Haltech to boost by gear, speed, and etc to control traction issues.

 

Any updates?

 

Yes. Still not happy with the ECU's available. I'm selling my Haltech. I have Greddy Emanage Ultimate that the shop is installing and tuning with the factory engine. My engine is ready to drop in and so is my transmission. They were going to get a good baseline with the stock engine before installing the new setup. I have Wilwood BBK for the front and Power Slot rear slotted rotors, Wilwood 4-piston calipers for the rear. Everything is moving forward, slowly but at least its moving. I will call the shop Wednesday to find out the current status. I have been made aware of a few more options now but still not sure that I will pursue any of them.

 

Care to share your experiences with Haltech and why you werent happy?

Besides a lack of control is some small areas (not boost related) My ultimate works very well

 

Cold Start issues and random dies.

 

Sounds like emanage

 

Emanage Ultimate in and running the car fine. Shop is going to dyno tune and street tune a little more. Then my built engine will be installed.

 

GL man.

 

Car is up and running non-boosted that is! Its being broke in then will be boosted. Pics before the engine went in and of the upgraded axles.

 

when did dss stop using blue cv boots?

 

I have no idea but I spoke with the DSS and they said don't pay attention to the boot color doesn't mean anything.
