Changing Gears In A Manual T

[YOOT]

I have torque tags turned off so its not them - no whats your theory? I still say turbo lag or throttle body.

[F6 UTE]

mm, interesting..

I have had the Tornado chirp 2nd whenever I'm quik on the changes, and I've chirped 3rd twice now, both times I chirped 3rd, I was really trying and had sweet changes thru the gate, but remembering you land the 2-3 change in the 4200rpm sweet spot, it's bang on power as soon as you change..

As for the drop in boost, I hardly noticed much 1-2, and seeing as revs only drop 700ish rpm per change, I find it hard to believe that it's lag.. The 'original' map I test drove months ago in the typhoon sedan lagged badly after 1-2 change and 2-3, this has been improved with the pcm upgrade. I mentioned this to my rep whan we went for a squirt in the foon firstly and the Tornado, even he agreed it didn't suffer as much after a gearchange with the pcm upgrade.

I have an edit, needs a fine tune, but I can't comment on if the boost drops because the map in there now is completely different in it's delivery. To save injector, boost comes on late. Once the map has boost dropped in the top end, and brought on earlier, I'll let u know how it goes. I really think there won't be a boost drop when it's finished..

Being fly by wire, anything could happen, maybe it holds the tb shut momentearily after re applying the pedal, making sure everything is moving and meshed together to sustain driveline integrity, makes sense..???

who knows..

The XR8s chirp 2nd easy. There is one that does it out of the carpark at work all the time. Takes off slow in 1st, the bang, grabs 2nd with a heap of spin. I love it.

Just read the "motor" mag rematch....They expirienced the same problem with the gear changes.

This gear change issue is the reason the F6 didn't break a 13et and also why it didn't totally hose the HSV.

I am very pissed off.

Yeah, I read that too. Isn't it funny how the Typhoon is only managing to get the times that the XR6T Series I cars were doing two years ago? AND the Series II XR6Ts are nearly half a second slower than Series I?? Something smells very fishy at Ford ...

[turbocorty]

My car feels way faster than a 14 et.

I will race it one day just to make sure.

[turbocorty]

Good news.

Just heard info that new S/W for edit gismos gets rid of the torque tags when changing gears. Has been available for a couple of weeks??

Lets see!

[Hazey]

So if torque tags have been added between gears and we remove them via edit whats the effect of this on driveline, clutch etc

hmm...

I dont know heaps aboutr turbo cars but if you were to give it WOT in gear say 3rd and then back off for about a second and then WOT again could this not test lag. cos if it did not lag you would know for sure that it is something electronic

[turbocorty]

It is not lag..100%sure!

It is electronic protection for the drivetrain.
