I can't speak for OP, but I can say that I also have a stage 2 flex tune from Visconti, and I've been running nothing but E50 for the last ~10 months and ~5k miles with no issues. Mine was a custom flex tune though, with probably ~5 iterations of logs and map revisions on everything from base...

OEM two-tone looks like ass, bronze is so much better

Doesn’t sport + DSC off enable the race map on stage 3?

Same here on the rear with 265/35 RT660 up front. They’re beasts. With stage 2 E50 the 295s’ll still spin in 2nd, but third locks it up and snaps your neck back. Surprisingly traction control actually works a lot better with these tires than with stocks too. TC is much more linear and...

I don’t think $40k is a bad price for the Z, the problem is how ill-equipped it is. If it came with an LSD and reasonable wheels/tires then sure, but as it sits it pretty much forces anyone who cares at all about performance to either dump $5-7k into it immediately, or spring for the...

Correct I bought from Visconti and flashed map 2 v1.0 (there is no v1.1 on map 2) yesterday. Shifts are perfect, both faster and smoother than stock, not sure how that’s possible, but no 3->2 harshness at all. My only complaint is that when you put the pedal to the floor and trigger the kick...

Flashed the transmission with xHP. I didn't want to go nuts with it, so I just flashed to stage 2 with custom shift points. All in all it was a great upgrade. Up and down shifts are both faster AND smoother than stock, and normal mode is actually usable now. I always kept it in manual mode...

Same thing with mine. I actually did change tire sizes, so it’s not terribly surprising, but yeah the traction control goes nuts on turns if it’s unhappy with the tire configuration in the infotainment system for whatever reason.

FYI - you don't have to get your car fixed in any particular way, do it through insurance, or go with any particular shop. It's perfectly acceptable to go to a few different shops, get estimates of what the repair would cost, have the insurance company write you a check for that amount, and...

Good time for a carbon hood too!

The curve falls off a cliff like that because the tester let off the gas at 6400 and so everything dropped to 0. But it was pretty flat up there anyway, so that's probably a fine time to shift.

That bolt isn't touched when doing springs, unless the installer just went nuts and started pulling everything remotely related to the suspension?

lol, that's as bad as the reviewers driving in the $55k premium Z and then using the $40k base model's price when making comparisons to other cars. I'd love to see them try to take that $40k base model with an open diff and 245s around the track. And before anybody says "BuT tHe Z iSnT 55k!"...

I'll bring the orange slices!

Peaking at 5700 is not the same thing as dead at 5700. You don't shift at the peak, you shift after the peak in order to maximize the power under the curve.

Theory vs practice. Analyzing compressor maps is great when planning out a build, but there are way too many unknowns and estimates for it to match reality 100%. You never know the true answer until you strap the end result to a dyno and measure it.

Depends on mods and the tune. For people running E50/meth you're right, the stock turbo just can't keep up with those boost levels up top and the peak is at more like 53-5500 RPM, so you probably want to be shifting before 6k. For basic stage 1-2 on 93 octane it can hold out higher though...

Here's a typical stage 2 Supra (red curve): https://www.supramkv.com/attachments/116018576_10223923560464001_9077036699959649122_o-jpg.28602/ The goal is to maximize power, which means keeping the car around that hump at 6000 RPM. We have a very tight ratio transmission, which means it only...

There are a ton of options. I originally got one of the Chinese ones from Amazon, and it worked well for about a year, but after that the internal battery died. Normally that wouldn't be a problem, it would just mean it can't keep recording after power is shut off. The problem is that the...

I assume this only works if you use Verizon for your phone?
