Hey DV8, do you have any dynos with your setup?

I cant wait to have the manual ecu chipped by bayou, it will give more torque to help in 1st gear and even more topened that seems so plentiful already.

track soon i hope.

Questions, concerns?

I want to know what your powerband is like. At what low RPM do you start making enough torque that when you hit it, it just throws you back into the seats? And where does the power start to fall off? Does it lose steam after 5k, 6k? Does having the 3.5 reduce your ability to rev high like the Type II or reduce your redline? Where do you shift at? REAAAAALLY wanna see a dyno chart, then track times.

DV8: My car definitely developed a raspier exhaust note when I swapped too. Maybe it has something to do with the IACV?? My car has two different sounds, a cold sound and a warmed up sound. Another thing that changed is the fact that my car wraps out gears faster than the tall geared AT did, that adds a urgency to the sound of the exhaust.

My low end torque and overall power is great, no problems. If I do a rolling start in 1st, the car will always spin it's tires the moment I hammer it, even when at very low RPM's. I also take off in 2nd usually. My car starts to pull really good at 1200 rpms or so in the first 4 gears if I am shortshifting thru city traffic. Power comes on hard at 3000 rpm, and tapers off around 6000.

Is this for manuals only or can autos upgrade theirs as well?

post some dynos and track times bro...cant wait

Rather than trying this ECU and that ECU, why not go with a new engine management system? The new Electromotive TECIII gets fantastic reviews.

Cresap · 01-12-04, 05:05 PM

now that I read my last post, I see that it looks like a statement when I really ment it as a question as are you going to?

Why don't you put up, or shut up. Where are the twin turbo's?

This is exactly what I'm talking about with this kid... Talking to people like that, can't even type correctly, making claims.

94LegendCoupe-

You are a loser, plain and ****ing simple. If I ever see you in person, I'll tell you to your face. You will never perform anything remotely beneficial to that Legend, and you will never have any respect from this forum. People who post here don't GET respect, they EARN it... and while some have said that I am harsh, and a loudmouth, I still come in WAY under you, because I can back up what I do/say/accomplish...

You suck, plain and simple. More than one person believes this. Take a hint. Get some skills, and get a ****ing life.

p.s. - DV8 - glad that you are working on your car, and that you have a goal and know were you want to go in accomplishing that goal.

nah i dont need to spend useless money at this point, the chipped 5 spd should be sufficient.

LegendaryAcs · 01-23-04, 04:40 AM

Just wondering Dv8..how do you get all the cash to do this stuff? Hook it up! hahahaha

LegendC · 01-23-04, 03:21 PM

Any road results on this? Should any competant tranny shop be able to perfrom the upgrade?
