Already Posted them before. Chased down a modded S2k from nearly a half a lap back Passing new 2010/2011 Mustang GT (didn't pay attention to which year it was), Miata's, Roush Supercharged Mustang GT, EF Civic, EG Civic w/B16+bolt ons (EG not in the video cause I ran out of space)...etc. Again, that's when I'm not even on Boost. On Boost it's like this: 8lbs of boost Against my own 350z Against my boy's MS3 pushing 280whp At 12lbs of boost Only this time when it's goes back on boost, it will be faster at the same PSI because the car weighs 2550lbs vs 3000.

Why would I only change the front tires? This isn't drag racing. |

Let me clarify, I meant cause that's your drive wheels, and those are the ones that would be diff widths, unless you plan on running two diff widths In the rear
Ps not bad for a TC, one of the faster ones ive seen, but I had the same problem with traction I'n my civic, sucks when you take a turn and go to power out of it and instead of continuing the turn you start to go straight

Yeah that's what was mentioned a few post back. It will be on a staggered setup with 275 or 285/35/18's up front and 255 or 265/35/18 in the rear. Same compound tires though (Rcomp). Thanks, I have an LSD in the tC along with a specific wheel alignment to aid in grip. You have to know the limitations of your traction and apply the throttle at the proper slip angle. That angle will increase once I go up in tire size. |

When I get it back on boost, ultimately would like to run a boost-by-gear setup.

As for boost by gear, I heard ViPEC standalones are some of the best value for dollar. I'm trying to figure out whether to go for a Haltech Platinum Series or a ViPEC V88. For your motor the V88 would be the way to go, as it can tune full dual VVT-i whereas the Haltech only handles intake only VVT-i (all I need with my VVT-i 2JZ head...)

The FT-86 won't be as modded as my tC, so it's all good. Looking to do just a few drift events here and there with it but that's about the jist of it. Don't know anyone to tune a ViPEC standalone, and I've never heard of one being made for a tC. I probably will have it setup through my boost controller. I stick to what's been already proven to work on my platform. Don't have to resources or time to be testing new applications. |

The big deal with a standalone is that it will handle more than what a whole bunch of piggy-back systems, in a much cleaner install. So in one box you get complete fuel and ignition control, complete boost control, 2-step, flatshift, traction control, individual cylinder trim, valve timing, etc... Plus stuff like dual injectors, staged nitrous, etc... if you want. Should look into them for your next big step with the tC.
