Guest Fijneman Guests Posted 12/04/03 03:06 AM Share Posted 12/04/03 03:06 AM This boost box looks like an electronic boost controller to me, how does it control air fuel ratios and ignition timing? They keep referring to the quality of the exhaust system used as being the basis for the end power figure. Why are they not supplying there own system?

cdm Member 886 Member For: 22y 6m 11d Posted 12/04/03 06:08 AM Share Posted 12/04/03 06:08 AM Street Tuner, I gather you have probably driven this car, is there any impressions you can give us? Are you at liberty so say how well you think/know the manual will cope with this kind of power. Also, is this the vehicle that ran the 12.55 mentioned in the TSI ECU thread? Thanks.

Street Tuner Member 727 Member For: 22y 3m 29d Posted 12/04/03 07:07 AM Share Posted 12/04/03 07:07 AM Yeah, strange place for sure. Its not my product. I own the car, I helped with the development. How they sell it (the kit) is up to CAPA. The guys on the forum are my mates, have known some of them since my VX days, and quite frankly they are pretty well switched on. They ask me a lot of questions, so I give them the answers. You can see from their responses that they are enthusiasts. This forum, however, doesnt share the same general vibe, the same excitement or enthusiasm of the LS1 guys. Look at the shut TSI thread where there was some legitimate debate and over moderation. Quite frankly I dont need to justify that uniformed decision making with free information that adds to the value of the forum....and hence supports the ignorant decision makers. Understand? If not, think about it. However......This is the car I have timed at 12.55. It was not on a dragstrip, not using a Compulink timing system. An official quarter mile time will be generated on May 11th at Adelaide International Raceway. On that surface, with normal radial tyres, I would like to just touch the 12s. Either way, the time will stand. If anyone would like to assume that the car runs a 17 currently, that's fine with me Lifted straight from my post on LS1.com.au - "The gearbox has been musical from day one. Much like a three speed in a clapped out XA or similar. Hasnt got a lot worse. Hasnt got any better. The clutch is ragged. The torque can slip it in 4th and 5th at that magical 3000rpm kick off point. The rumours of the boxes falling apart the moment they got loaded were just that, rumours. The T5 is no thing of beauty though, that's for sure."
