Too much power, please help.

HKe82 · 08-02-2010, 03:47 AM

Got the jb3 a few weeks ago and what a transformation. Using map 7 but waiting to install the Forge FMIC so that I can stick it on map 8. However, I find that there's too much wheel spin when I give it some. Believe that the Quaife LSD should do the trick. Is this true? Or are there any other alternatives. Please help.

I would upgrade your rubber, and if that dosnt solve ur issue then look into a quaife or wavetrek!

escobar929 · 08-02-2010, 10:13 AM

I would do rubber and lsd. Also I wouldnt run map8 with out meth.

Get an LSD, you'll put the power down through two wheels instead of one. It made a huge difference on my car

onefastman · 08-02-2010, 06:51 PM

Or you could get a lsd

Get some sticky wider tires, I recommend the Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star Spec or Bridgestone Potenza RE11.

If you still can't hook up, then you might need to find a prostitute.

<< stage 2 no issues... hehe

moveswiftly · 08-02-2010, 10:29 PM

^ Stage 2 is running the boost that our map 3 is running lol 11-12 Psi
map 7 or 8 i believe runs 16-18 psi.

BUt Besides that I don't recommend running map 7 without Downpipes and an intercooler. Go back to map 5, when you have intercooler / downpipes hook it up to map 7. Once you have meth run 8 or 9.

My boost gauge consistently shows 14.5-6 psi with my stage 2. I have dunlop direzza star specs and have all sorts of traction issues in 1st and 2nd gear. I drive with traction control off. TC seems to just kill the acceleration in the first 2 gears. No fun at all.
