SI Drive thoughts

[Ric]

...
Hmmm...in a broader sense, Roddez might be right Phil. While it doesn't have anything to do with wastegate control, the SI drive does alter boost - easy way stick a boost gauge and see what max boost you hit on a certain gear in I, S and S#.

Well it does control throttle opening, which will indirectly affect how much boost you get!

lol..

Hurry up Phil and get the EVC V installed man and some defi gauges :p

then we can see xD

[MY07GT]

Hahaha yes yes Adrian. I would love to. My car is the R&D car for PHAT MAN!

Will hopefully get those goodies soon.

Phil.

Oh and Roddez, the 07 GT Spec B does have AVCS.

AVCS?

A Very Cool Soundsystem?

Advanced Vehicle Control System?

from driving my bro's car a fair bit.....this is what i think.....

[I] - crap

[S] - not really responsive unless u plant the petal - in which case the car accelerates quite hard

[S#] - really responsive, but if u plant it, it doesn't pull as hard as [S], but sort of sits there and revs its tits off

this is with an 07 3.0L RB, so not sure if its the same thing in the GT's

i personally think an option between [S] and [S#] would be ideal

[viriix]

That sounds about right brendan.. funny enough..

but revving the tits off things is fun right? :p

I think i have VTEC in my car.. Very Tall Engine Coolant.. you know.. I engraved STi into my compliance plate.. makes it lighter and faster with hp bonuses! :p :p

just put an ST[i] and it'll feel fast

[brendans225]

not when your not going anywhere fast ........

[viriix]

it's ok if you have a BOV.. and u can just annoy everyone around you :]

auto &manual = soft
tiptronic=smart...LOLOLOLOL

[viriix]

Phil, mines manual.

You do notice a difference in s#, it loves the revs when revs when driving, and when you're putting the foot down to overtake or something and you're in [S] it feels like it's just missing something..

If you're accelerating and hit [S#] you feel a small kick in the car :]

Jimmy, tiptronic is crap if you're at the lights and forget you're in gear 5 :p

Exactly - even if a boost guage shows less boost - it can still be done through regulation of the throttle butterfly.

I accept I mode would perhaps introduce some control of the AVCS, but S and S# feel sooo similar - just at differing levels of right pedal

MoGT - what do you mean no full throttle on S#???

The throttle does not open fully in any mode can't remember exatly how much it opens but from memory the max it would open in a std car was around about 75 to 85%. I'm no expert but this is one of the adjustments that ecu re-tunners make.
