Topgunz - air to air upgrade

future370zzz · 09-14-2016, 11:54 AM

Very nice numbers. Any videos of the beast?

Are you planning on switching between E70 and 93 tune from time to time to use regular gas for longer road trips? The only thing holding me back from E85 is the thought of always having to use it and planning trips around E85 stations.

Thats what flex fuel is for.

I get it on flex fuel cars that are designed for using gas and e85 but have heard issues with seals/gaskets and corrosion from additional water on retrofits. This might just be with older cars using steel and cork materials. Not 100% sure as facts and myth are usually mixed in.

Has everyone here upgraded their clutch when putting on the SC?

Have you been able to hold the power when WOT switching from 3rd to 4th, or 4th to 5th? Or has the clutch slipped some

Yes, not having any clutch slip yet but I'm not at full boost either. Tomorrow I'm back to working on it again.

I've been real busy with having to take care of my mom. My sister will be here this weekend so I can have some time off. My mom will have hospice care starting today. My mom is not going to be around much longer as her cancer is getting worse.

Family first.

Sorry to hear about your Mom ...
Lost mine a few years ago the same way ...
Peace be with you and your family...

My Z has had 4 clutches in it but I have only drivin two of them. (Car has only 18k on it too, hahah)

The ACT six puck was not very friendly, it lasted maybe 9k miles, I would say only go 6 or 4 puck if you are just tracking the car and do not drive it in stop and go traffic. I do not even know how you would drag with one of those clutches, it sends too much power to the wheels too quickly and you just spin unless you take off flippin slow.

Bought a Z1 sprung clutch, probably the cheapest clutch you can get for this car and so far it is awesome, no slipping, smooth starts, way easier to start out faster....they say the puck clutches are better for faster shifts while moving but I cannot tell a difference....

I ran nothing but e85 for 3 years with zero issues. Any newer car has all ethanol resistant material as most gas has e in it anyway.

Saw the other vids too. Surprised you beat the turbo RSX and surprised the 335i kept up for a little bit.

What tires are you on? It's not getting swirly at 500whp? I got hankook v12 evos and they get swirly with the small amount of power I have at full takeoff. Can't image at 500whp especially on the dig run with the evo.

Im on Mickey Thompson ET Streets. Those paired with Ecutek's adjustable traction control I can take off from a dig and not spin at all. From a dig I keep the TC on around 15% and Im good. If I turn it all the way to 0% I will roast the tires off for sure. From a roll I keep it on about 5% and usually never have any problems. That is from a 40 and up. Anything lower I might have to take the TC up a little. Just depends on the road.

EcuTek options coming in handy. MT only on the rear? Stock up front?
