Hmmmm.... I hope u r right about getting the pedal delay fixed. That delay is IMO a severe safety issue.

Keep us posted after a month.

still no delay for me.however running without a thermostat,the engine is staying too cool but the power is great.hopefully,the thermo i had was faulty cause i will have to put another one back in.its too bad these engines cant run cooler cause there is quite a bit of performance gained by, as i said before,keeping the heads as cool as possible.

also running without a thermo,my oil temps are struggling to get up to 180.so apparently,the rad is big enough but the thermostat is causing high coolant temps with spirited driving where as now,i can do all the spirited driving i want and not feel any power loss.so its too hot or too cold lmfao !
I just bought a Mishimoto Thermostat which opens at 150 degrees.

Should be installing next week.

You havent gotten any CEL with no thermostat?

yes,it took 3 days for the cel to pop up.if i drive the car normal on the highway at 55 mph,my dots want to stay on the 3rd one.WAY too cool.i had read that the mishimoto also throws a cel ? let me know if it does even though i will most likely be getting one light be dammed.too much power to be gained wiTH lower coolant temps.

I have only seen that CEL with the Mishimoto were thrown with non-FI 370zs.

It also depends on the location and weather.Miami is hot and humid 24/7/365

I will keep everyone updated.

well worse case for me would be to get the mishi thermo and block a portion of the rad like people do with the oil cooler so it will stay just warm enough for DD and yet still have enough cooling for spirited driving until summer temps come rolling around again.

Exactly you can do that!

I have the intercooler blocking my CSF radiator so I shouldn't see any CEL.

We shall see.

I found a fix!

I drop the clutch at ~3,000 RPMs every time now. No gas pedal delay! ;) :woot:

true that but watch out for that heat soak and clutch wear !! :tiphat:

You pretty much put a nail in the coffin... just get past the annoying throttle limiting threshold. I end up burning the tires while making a left turn, but at least the car gets moving quick. Oh, and boost didn't kick in yet either since I let off the throttle a bit while making the turn. For some reason it puts the throttle response in the "go fast" mode, but launching at lower revs put it in "grandma" mode (no offense to the elder owners).

So what does Hypertech mean when they remove the 0-60 restriction?

I had a Hypertech programmer before I went FI and noticed a huge difference in throttle response.

Is it their own tuning of torque management or something more simple?

It could depend on what kind of fuel you put in your car? Do you fill up with 89% octane (regular) or 93% octane (premium). I usually can tell the big difference. I just usually stick to premium gasoline only.

wstar 09-29-2012 02:08 PM
Usually should be always. This car should only drink premium fuel. I'm pretty sure the Owners/Service manuals state that as well.
