I should be around the 290-300 mark.To answer the question, I didnt feel the difference. If it was going to go quicker it would be only as a result of my wallet being lighter.

boosting Member 31 Member For: 16y 6m 19d Gender: Male Location: sydney Posted 13/08/09 05:05 AM Author Share Posted 13/08/09 05:05 AM good point Gregor, I havent even mentioned the fact that after the current tune (325rwkw), my gear changes under heavy load in normal and performance modes are very very very drawn out and slow (stuck in gear). In other words, I cannot effectively race my car unless I shift gears in sports mode. I mentioned this to Con and he said "..it doesnt change gears because its making too much power for the gearbox to handle".....hang on, didnt have the problem when it had 339rwkw...!!!

If he has the sheets he can compare the conditions and parameters on the dyno and see if he got a legit increase or not.Oh so now your box is slipping and changing slower and you wonder why your times havent improved...seems a little of a no brainer then fix your box and go run some times. And while you may have not had that issue at the higher power level its called wearing sh*t out it will happen when you up the power, you could take it back to stop and blow it tomorrow if the damage has already been done.

Same dyno, 3 days later.Slow gear changes are in peformance and normal mode. When I race I only use manual shifting and always have. Gear changes in manual mode are fine.In regards to just "fixing the box"....the box was fine when I drove there with 339rwkw, I waited for the tune, then drove off with 325rwkw and crappy gear changes. Ar eu saying the box got worn out at the shop??!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know whether this is normal for a ZF box as I have never been in another car. Under manual mode, the shifts are nice and quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What boost you running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best bet is to go see con and the boys and talk through all the issues and discuss what could be changed or tweaked to deliver the result you want.Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
