What about "Turbo Hiccups"? JT sayed that his was fixed, does a better ground wire kit USUALLY help this? Like I had said before, I installed the Pettit kit and I still every once in a while hiccup at 3k rpms. If I didn't already know about that being practically normal on FDs than I'd be worried. Basically I'm hoping to smooth my idle out, I mean sometimes it is really rough and I get really paranoid and freaked out. But from what some of the other rotorheads before have said, it seems like that is becoming a common problem as well..... Ugh small problems, big headaches....

 

I also went the cheaper route, but actually sanded a little paint off where it touches the body and put on some conducting goo. No amazing affects but no bad ones either

 

It's not a turbo hiccup, its an ECU hiccup 3K hesitation

 

I think they chose the car with the worst grounds ever to do the dyno run on. Then when they upgraded, it made a big difference LOL.

 

if you have a sequential setup...... then your turbos are supposed to hickup at 4500rpm.....



the 3000rpm hickup is an 8bit ecu thing

 

atually they seriously did pick the worst car ever...it was a DSM that had an engine bay fire...ill look for the magazine its around here somewhere, it was hilarious they're like "we gained back 25HP from GROUNDS" well...DUH they were all FRYED...god i hate import tuner.

 

Well Import Tuner is practically the biggest ricer mag out there, and mags like that usually do things half assed, or don't take things seriously. Sport Compact all the way!!!!!

 

sport compact and import tuner are sister companies

 

I know this. However, Import Tuner's editors and writers are nothing more than 16 year olds masturbating over asian chicks, dreaming of altezza taillights and custom making dual exhaust on their Civics (two mufflers = double the hp gains ). Sport Compact on the other hand actually has really good tech info, way more professional layout, and they actually answer questions instead making lame, stupid-*** comments to real tuner's serious problems.

 

i have a ground wire kit on order off e-bay... heard mixed things about them but better to safe than stupid..
