Boosted Performance round 2 list

Joepro

How are the BP kit owners combating low gear traction issues? Anyone setup boost by speed with an EBC? One of my techs at work set it up on his neon(dont laugh 550 whp sub 11 seconds) and swears by it say it makes it more manageable on the street as well.

Not a BP owner, but you're always going to have traction issues in first and second regardless of boost control. You'll never see a lot of boost in first anyway. Even at wastegate pressure in second, you're going to blow off the tires. Boost by gear is great, but these cars have issues hooking up even before you add 150+ whp.

Get your camber as close to 0* as you can, and get good sticky tires. You shold be fine by doing those two things.

I have 450whp/420ft/tq on my DE. Camber is as low as I can get it with the ride height I have, and a set of 295/35/19" AD08's seems to be doing the job just fine. Pavement and ambient temperature will also be a big factor. Hot day and hot roads will grip much better than cooler day/pavement.

Boost by speed won't work for a BP kit. I can break the back tires loose on waste gate pressure at 80 mph with the base map.

I'm in the same boat as you. I would lose traction in 3rd at 70mph, sometimes even in 4th!! The suspension on these cars are not meant to hook up with all this power.

I have an HKS EVC6 and did not wire it to run by speed/rpm. I find it useless as some members have mentioned. However, I do plan on upgrading the LSD to an OS Giken one with a LESS aggressive final drive gear (3.3:1) so as to, maybe be able to use the 2nd gear. Toyo R888's and a more neutral camber setting will probably help quite a lot also.
