damn you....your going to make me get a TC just to give you something to run against

 

i like to run to not saying im fasy really not just fun running with cobalts

 

hahah i feel ya man. gotta pay if you wanna play hahah

 

SPOTTED Black SS/TC with projector headlights and LED tails off of Ramsey St in Fayetteville NC. For some reason he was ******* with a Hundai Sanata...

That Sucks!

 

im really getting pissed off lately in not getting power to the ground. Happens all the time. Today a buddy of mine goes "give me a ride in this thing i wanna see what its got." i say "alright ill get on it a little bit but im tryign to squeeze all i can outta these tires"

1st gear normal take off
2nd gear i get on it. at 3grand it starts to pull till 3500rpm tires break loose till redline, shift to 3rd, get on it. pulls untill clutch slip at around 4000RPM. Tired of never feeling all the damn torque my car wants to put down. Why would i even put another bolt-on this car or more agressive tune just to feel the same ****. Im hitting a wall that takes alot of money to get past. pretty frustrating. im honestly thinking about tuning my car down so i can be faster than stock with not enough torque to give me clutch slip or excessive spin.

 

I know the feeling....happens to me with the GTI....though my clutch isn't slipping...it's that my tires break loose way to easy and lately i have been having problems with compressor surge...and bleh...

and Page 200 is Mine!!!

 

fail wheel drive

 

What I am gathering from you and Matt is that the SS/TC has clutch problems....assuming that you both are running stock clutches...they aren't lasting that long or so it seems

 

well I have a little more then 100 more ftlb's of torque then stock to the wheels. He has even more then that. Thats a considerable difference and the stock clutch just really isnt rated to much over 300 i dont believe. But i feel like my clutch is prematurely failing compared to what other people claim there numbers are and them saying they have no slip. i baselined at 240, then tuned to 334, then added a few boltons since. expect your clutch to start slipping around that number but people claim to have much higher numbers with no slip, which i just cant fathom since we all have the same car. clutch slip is clutch slip. no matter how high i shift i still get it

 

well, that would explain it then, sounds like a stg2 or higher clutch is in order then....as soon as i go higher with my power levels, i will be automatically upgrading my clutch, hopefully going to get a nice K04 swap, i am not going to crazy with this car, i will be happy with 250hp, and close to 280ft/lbs...after all my car is a hatchback haha

 

Mine slips in all gears except 1st and 2nd... but going back to stock turbo this weekend till I get my meth installed and new clutch!

 

i forgot to ask you blueberry how is the gt30 upgrade for this car i have the money for it just didnt want to get it because my clutch also already slips and is the spec clutches good for our cars whats the best??

 

have you dyno'd your balt to see what your putting down?

 

185whp when the weather is right Matt haha....

 

honestly... untill we get a better fueling option... just stick with the stock turbo.... you use trifecta so he can do some fueling changes for you.

But honestly I haven't seen anybody able to get much over 400whp with the stock fueling system.

Stock turbo at 22.5 psi 363 and 394

GT2871r at 14psi (LOL) 312 and 356 soo the power is there but with severe clutch slip and a poorly calibrated dyno it wouldn't hold more than 14-15psi while it was on the rollers

 

where can i find information on the fuel system for the direct injection fuel system?

 

don't really know... just going off personal experience

 

what pressure does the direct injection system operate at?

 

yea he can get it up to 515 wel zzp did i believe dont no how true but for every day driver thats alot to break lol

 

depends on how aggressive you are.... but I am about 1800psi or so... the system is good to 3500psi (or so I have heard)

ZZP is using a fuel pressure "tricker" like what Trifecta does. The mention exactly what they used... I don't remember.

 

ye ai believe it just adds resistance to the fuel pressure sensor or something making it think its low so it adds more.

 

yup that is what it is... so basically NO one has a fix all anyone has done is trick it...

I'll just wait for HPT to unlock it all....

 

well i dont no what im doing else to my car what else should i do any suggestions?? you all goin to myrtle beach what in feb or may cant remember lol

 

hey matt...what kind of timing advance are you running for 93 octane....i know that the ss/tc and my gti are factory set for 91 octane timing...and since I DO have software to change my timing and a few other things just wondering how many degrees you would advance....i am thinking 3-5 degree advance would do the trick....

as soon as my cable comes in i will be doing some data logging for 2-4th gear, i'll post it up here, should be similar to what you have seen anyway
