No Problem, good luck, and if you think there's room to improve your profile, but you're not sure what to adjust, post up your setup [gearing, profile, motor temps, and where you'd like to improve], and I'll see what I can do.

Ever since the whiners won and got boosted classes eliminated from racing, I've had to run non boosted. Problem is, when I go to blinky mode, I get NO drag brake. I've tried it on 4 different tekin speedos and it's the same on all. Is anyone else having this problem?

HarryLeach

From what I remember, the gearing required to run non-boosted really puts a hurting on brake power.

How much motor timing are you running? More motor timing seems to hurt brake power as well.

Glad there's still boosted racing at my local track.

running a duo 1 with middle timing. I think it's 10 degrees. I mean, I get NO drag brake. I have it set at 40 and...nothing. Car doesn't slow even a little. regular brakes are fine. It's just drag brake

HarryLeach

That's kinda the nature of blinky when the pinion and spur are so close in size.

Maybe someone else has some idea, but most guys I know don't use drag brake.

How high have you tried running the drag brake setting?

I've taken it up to 40. I'll crank it up to 70 and see if I feel a change

I'm trying to remember if the timing settings in the hotwire setup directly refer to the degree's of timing or not.

i.e. is setting the the main timing to 50 with 10 turbo, giving 50 degrees of timing with another 10 added in turbo?

Thanks

That's my understanding for a sensored profile, yes.

For sensorless timing advance, it's a percentage. How many degrees 100% is, I don't know.

StevenOlsen

if I remember correktly 100% is 30 degrees. but cant find it anywhere :-S

timing advance is 30* max

What's the best way to determine if the sensor wire is bad?

Does it smoke, have tattoos and use foul langauge?

Well if you have an RS or RS Pro you can use the sensor tester:

Randy thanks, and I was told the only way to tell was to replace the senor wire with a new one.

Does this method also apply to the Rx8 ???
