Twin Turbo Problems
Ok the weather dropped to low 80's yesterday and today here in vegas(it was in mid 100's since i got the car)and my nittos 555r are going up in smoke at 80 MPH in 4th low RPM
which they NEVER had traction problems even in first gear.With the cooler air the car is unreal.
I have 3 setting 7.5 psi , 9psi, 12psi w/meth.
On the first setting my car blows the tires without any issues 3rd setting is even more stupid
I want to congradulate APS(AND LAPD) on building a monster setup. the car is really and truly an EXOTIC PERFORMING MACHINE!!
Car feels and Drives like it came from the factory until you get on it and the all hell breaks loose.
The Kit delivers
10/10

Peter,
there is no plans for traction , unless you have some idea
Im running the best traction tires for my street setup and that cant even hold the power down..
I am getting used to modulating the power with the gas pedal..80% then all out in each gear seems to work a little better.
there is a great chance i will be at LVS (las vegas speedway tomorrow)
i will have issues as the tires will not hook that well and i DONT want to break anything with a HARD launch.. im really intrested in the MPH ..that will tell the story
I hope traction permitted i can get 135+ in the vegas altitude and DA , IAT wil be up there for sure...

Will 2 cans of torco help ?
and when i go back to LAPD , i might have them install a wideband.

Sam, LB has a point here. If I were you I would really invest in a wideband so you can always monitor your air/fuel, especially since your fuel system isn't upgraded. It only takes one bad run to lean out and kaboom! It's worth the $400! Give me a call if you have any questions, you should still have my number.
