Couple Of Issues...

Morning all,

in the past few days i have noticed when in 3rd gear driving along normally, slowly increasing speed, the revs would drop by about 300rpm (ie: would just hit 4000rpm, then the car would drop to 3700rpm and have a hard time going back up)

Sorry i cant be more descriptive :)

any ideas?

also, the car is a auto, when im in tiptronic and shift to 3rd, it seems to take ages to actually disengage 2nd and engage 3rd, and when it does shift, it is quite rough.

again, any ideas??

Thanks a bunch!

I'd be thinking along the lines of the shift solenoids making rough changes...but the uresponsive changing could also be the electronic lock-up torque converter that the M-ATx box has. Normally it's completely disengaged when you're running tiptronic mode (you can see that on the highway going from D to 4, the revs will increase slightly)

I'd run a diagnostic of both the ECU and the transmission ECU and see if any codes are stored.

In 3rd gear lockup torque converter is not meant to engage.... :)

Correct me if I'm wrong :)

Ive lost my torque lock up at speeds over 80km.

will engage at lower speeds. but once i get above 80 it doesnt engage.

My de-acceleration seems to be a bit heavier as well. like theres more drag on the engine.

      The spray cans were in the "Kiln" room whilst I was preping the parts,  so probably around 2 hours to get them warmed up, the kiln room has 3 small ovens running at 100°c, 3 medium sized ovens running 100°c, and the large one I used running at 80°c, the room itself was about 28°c, I also spent a bit of time taping up the parts in the room as well, and by the time I was done I would assume that the parts were around that 28°c As for power, I expect a couple of Killerwasps up high would be achievable with the current mods, I'm still running the MZR 2.0 intake and throttle body, and there is a slight mismatch with the 2.0 intake (smaller) and 2.5 intake ports (larger) on the head, this intake is matched and specifically designed to fix this issue with the ports mismatch, the throttle body is also a couple of mm larger, OEM is 65mm, the Bosch is 68mm In the end it will look "prettier" than the molded plastic thing that is the OEM MZR 2.0 intake As for the LSD, it's the OEM Torsen which works fine for what I use the car for, plus, basically no maintenance apart from the occasional oil change

      Mate , I have the same issue right now with the exhaust noise , if you can tell me what your local guy did , I'll talk to my guys and see if they can do the same. Power is good but it just too loud when put it down.

      The other trick I've found with wrinkle black is to put the can in hot water for a bit to warm the paint up, and to pre-heat whatever you're painting. It'll be interesting to see if you pick up any power with the intake, following with interest. Got a proper lsd for this?
