Been runnning my tt auto for a couple of months and only now have i really been able to open it up, bought it as i had a broken ankle and being an auto v easy to drive!, driving with a broke limb is an art form and i was only able to plod around when very nessessary, but now my casts off and strength is improving i have been able to do some "enthusiastic driving" and im not convinced by the performance? i ran a diag got code 55 all ok, replaced plugs, which looked new any way, i cant fault it to drive, no misfires or obvious faults, the boost gauge goes up high etc, but no huge feeling of boost, more like a smooth pick up which does increase as the revs go higher but none of the oomph i experienced in the other zs ive owned, dont get me wrong its not slow slow, just not what i expect from all those horsies, is there anything obvious i missed ? also it seems faster before fully warmed up (not that i advocate that just wanted too see) not clay cold tho!, and it seems quicker if u ease the throttle down rather than plant it??, sorry to blether on like but im frustrated!!! help!!!!!

 

thats mine... from a standing start. standard Jap auto TT apart from exhaust and air filter.

Thanks quavey, ive just sat for ages watching the two take off together and i think its mine that has the edge, its so close that its unreal, they even sound same and you can hear them change at same revs, tried to gauge it off speedo, but then did it off revs and gear change and mine gets through second just like a hundreth of a second quicker, like i might have a wasps length on you at 90 haha, at least i know mines prob ok after that so cheers, much appreciated, id love to see the same kind of clip with a tuned auto just to see the difference tho

dont u just love the constant pull of an auto and notice the boost gauge doesnt even drop :dance: .

 

not been able to open mine up yet as runnin a new tub in :rolleyes: .

no worries gavo! that video was ages ago when i first got the car!

 

I'll do another one when iv got the boost controller fitted (since that video its actually had a better exhaust and the old k&n induction kit has come of for an apexi)

 

And i've now discovered that its chipped.... lol so i'm in the market for a boost controller!

i still have that auto for sale that you came to look at if you want to compare?

std cars dont really have any turbo kick, thats why nissan went for 2 smaller turbo's to give a smoother spool.

Hi liam, yeah would be interesting, how did you know it was me, did your mate from halfords tell you i spoke to him?, have you still got the manual one too, and s-tune i think thats the problem, i miss the kick

fit an aftermarket ecu and then crank up the boost, youll get a kick then.
