In July I replaced my stock MAF with a Translator Plus and an LTI MAF. I didn’t have the extra leads, so I didn’t connect the spark timing functionality of the T+. I went to the drag strip with the T + adjustments base at 3 and WOT at 0, expecting to take care of my low MAF readings (238-242 max), but was disappointed that the LTI MAF didn’t make a difference. Performancewise I turned a best of 11.94@113.14 in the ¼ mile and 7.611@90.36 in the 1/8th mile. My Turbo TA typically has a mph between 113 to 115. Given it was a hot day, I felt that the car was performing OK. What did turn up was that the IAC counts were way off, so I adjusted the minimum air rate to factory specs.
In the meantime I installed Global West subframe connectors, Spohn adjustable torque arm, lower control arms and an adjustable panhard bar. Additionally, I purchased a “plug and play” adapter so that I could connect the spark timing functionality of the T+.
I went to the drag strip yesterday and ran the car for the first time with the new suspension components and also set the T+ to 3 for MAF base, 0 for MAF WOT, 0 for spark base and 0 for spark WOT. The PROM chip I have is a Caspers Ultimate 7 position set on #5 chip. The best time I could record was a 12.20@109.2 in the ¼ mile and 7.87@87.05 in the 1/8 mile.
While it was a 60 degrees and humid the track wasn’t prepped very well, so traction was somewhat compromised. I am perplexed on what I could have changed to cause such a lackluster performance. It appears that I lost 40 hp somewhere, part of it maybe due to atmospheric conditions, but it can’t be all of the reason.
I hope that I have the correct setting for the T+ mode switches. I have as follows
Switch 1 ON
Switch 2 ON
Switch 3 OFF
Switch 4 OFF
The #3 switch I am not sure of. The instructions I have from Ramchargers has quite a few typos, which makes me somewhat skeptical that I may not have all of the right mode switches set correctly. Should switch #3 be set on or off for a TTA not running an extender chip?
I have complete Turbo Link runs recorded and available for viewing if needed. It seems that something isn’t right with my setup for T+. One thing I am going to do is replace my heated O2 sensor. It is 2 years old and has been subjected to leaded racing fuel for the past two seasons. If anyone can help me, it would be most appreciated.
