10psi Tune And Wheelspin

[Boony_1981]

Does anyone know if there is a way that a tuner can tune the boost so that it gradually comes onto boost at around 2500rpm and then goes up to full boost (rather than all boost coming on in one big lump at 3000rpm)?

At the moment I'm running a 10psi tune with 259rwkw and as soon as the car hits 3000rpm in first and second gear all I get it a large amount of wheelspin. The stock dunlop tyres probably don't help either.

with a generic capa 10psi my kuhmo ku19's hold on (probably around 240rwkw) when it comes on boost. I actually thought the dunlops had pretty good grip, so your tune must be brutal!

yes, a tuner can fix that btw.

if its a generic, that's probably the reason, I used to have a 10psi tune at 270-odd kw that would build to around 10psi by 2750rpm with not alot of wheelspin, the tuner can change how aggressive the actuator "actuates"

I had mine tuned that way, I didn't want it stepping out on the missus if she gave it too much. Just tell you tuner how you want and they will do it, providing they listen to you of course. My tune is more progressive in adding boost and max's out at 9PSI and still pulls harder than a 14yr old school boy. It is also kinder to the driveline, although my clutch has still crapped itself but we all know what factory clutches can take.

I dont have a generic but at 268 I have no traction issues at all in the dry

You could get a soft tune to reduce power down low but then your stuck with it in 3rd, 4th ect... just learn to drive it without wheenspining... easy on the gas till its over 4000.

I dont mind wheel spinning past HSVs as they try to drag me hehe

If it makes you feel any better, I have 24psi hitting all at once at about 3500rpm.................

HAHA, nice :D

I have tried easing off the throttle until 4000rpm but it just isn't the same.

if you were to get an electronic boost controller you could use the gain control to adjust how hard the boost comes on.

mine has gain and spike stop controls, using the gain spike stop and overboost settings you can totally adjust your boost curve.

if I put my foot into it the tyres will fry as mentioned above on a 10 psi tune. I like to give it a squirt every now and then but most times ill just cruise around.
