Topgunz - air to air upgrade

milkcow500

Yes, I have the 7AT. I didn't do a full transmission upgrade like some other people have done. All I did was the Level Ten torque converter/valve body and the Fast Intentions flex plate.

I'm still waiting on EVO's results with that impeller before deciding which one to go with. Didn't have time to tweak my RR TC or find out my max boost yet, but I'll find out during this week.

Do you have stock cats on or test pipes?

Test pipes/stock headers. I know I'm losing some boost there, but my cats blew so fast I didn't want to keep replacing them.

How do you feel it is holding up? Did Seb add more pressure to the lines, as well? How much was the level ten torque converter and Fast Intentions flex plate? (You've can PM me if you don't want to post numbers on here.)
I'll be running test pipes, too. Going to sell my HTC, and don't feel like blowing my stock cats.

Another forum member that bought a kit off me here just blew his Cats up too so is replacing them when he puts the A2A on.

I haven't had any transmission issues as of yet that I know of. I'm on my 3rd tuner now and I can say that Seb blows them all out of the water.

The base map that he made for me had some rough shifting, but 2 flashes into adjusting the line pressure and it's par/better than my previous EcuTek tune. You can only feel the shifts/rev matching if you are hard on the pedals. If you are light on them for daily driving, you can feel a smidgen or nothing at all.

The best thing that I noticed was this really odd delay/lag I used to have on both my previous Uprev/EcuTek dyno tunes. This would happen right before the throttle kicks in, so it was very annoying and sometimes dangerous because I would get no response for 1-2 FULL seconds. These were the conditions:

Gas -> let off gas -> Get back on gas -> DELAY -> throttle kicks in
Gas -> Brake -> Get back on gas -> DELAY -> throttle kicks in

Parts + install at Level Ten were about $1500. The billet flex plate was about $1200 for parts + install. I only did the flex plate because of all the horror stories I heard.

Yea man I have a auto(AWD) so he told me o look at the racerom field on the map log, I can just drive with my laptop plug into the car. It's only on my map1 guessing a base test map, but if he get this and the launch hack I'm defiantly going the track Friday! I see if I can crack into the 12's

I'm surprised you didn't hear about it before. It was one of the reasons why I went with Seb. I know there's another G that is running 12s with FBO, but he is running on 4.08 fd.

ANMVQ

Yea I know him, LOL from here , but he is a coupe and RWD , 12.7 he ran, I hoping to get close to that, I know it will be tuff as "we" have about a added 2-300lbs for the Tcase, but our launch should make up for that

Ok so loaded the tune in this morning , went to map access and saw racerom RAW, the value is 0? I tried the cruise buttons up or down and the value didn't change? How to a test this? Since I don't have a Z I do not have a oil temp gauge?

Here you go, you can see the values on the right.

ANMVQ

Thanx man I'll look again mine was 0 for all? maybe I had missed some, like might have left the VDC on. I'll check again, thanx man!!

How is it on the 170? what happens when you dump it, with it lower does the car accelerate faster? Or just more tire spin?

It should adjust as long as cruise control isn't on. It won't matter is VDC is still on or not.

I was playing around with it and still am, which is why you see 170 as my min. I believe 140 is the lowest you can go.

I forgot what rpms I normally dump the brake at when I torque launch, so I'm still messing with it.

milkcow500

I don't recall the exact name of the parameter, but it is something like "Race Rom Controller." Mine was set to 230 from stock. I can double check later today for you.

I got my AFR/Boost gauge as well as my oil pressure guages installed last night. Now I can see what is going on with AFR.

I'm having a weird problem with idle and it could be the canned Stillen tune at fault.

With the A/C turned off, I get a hunting idle speed that varies about 1K rpm at times. It will run perfectly smooth and then hunt and then settle back down. The Boost gauge shows close to 30 inches of vacuum. When I turn the A/C on the rpm jumps up to just over 1K and the engine stops hunting at idle. AF ratio at warm idle is 14.4 - 14.6 which looks ok.

This may be stupid on my part but to me it looks like the tune has a problem with idle air flow. I have checked and the BOV is open and air is flowing out of it and I have performed the Idle Air Flow Calibration. That helped a lot but it didn't cure the symptoms.

The engine seems happy everywhere except idle with the A/C turned off. Weird.

Any ideas. The EcuTec tune is scheduled for Saturday, Hopefully that will settle things down.

Any of you that has done the A2A mod have any idle issues while running the canned Stillen tune?
