to anyone who has done a 3sgte swap into a 6th gen...


how bad is that lack of traction now that you are making much more power? do you ever wish that you had just bought an awd/turbo car insted of doing the swap?

It's sorta bad when you floor it. I don't know what it would feel like without LSD, but my traction problem isn't too bad. I just have to launch half-throttle... then once I hit higher RPM's, I can almost floor it in first. In second, it's similar... I can't exactly floor it until I hit the higher RPM band. Once I hit third... this no longer becomes an issue.

Basically, I have to ease into flooring 1st and 2nd. I haven't experience torque steer yet. No matter what... the swap made a big difference and made my car one fast beast. Wait till I take her to the tracks... then I'll really open up and see what she can do. wink.gif

I pretty much did the same when i got used to it at the track. I all i did was bounce in 1st and 2nd, even 3rd in one occasion. So i just laucn at about 3K and feather the gas redline and feather again, but a little harder.

Now going back to what I said above, I tried testing it out again. I redlined first gear and shifted to 2nd (at 15.2 psi)... and THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO WHEEL HOP for me. Now I don't know if this is due to having LSD... or not. If I were to have shifted at about 5000 RPM, I would definitely hop in second. Again, I've never driven a high-powered FF vehicle, so I can't give an objective review

I hope to be adding a LSD soon hopefully by this summer when i start showing. But until then you will have to show me in yours Kuya biggrin.gif

Happy Boosting,
David
