I absolutely didn't read torque and instantly thought OFT.

Is that mode included in the ESC kit, or did you wire an extra switch?

I asked Rob for it when i ordered, he wired it in for me. I dont think he throws it in with every kit by default.

Given the scenario, if I'm at mid-corner on a long sweeper @ 5000rpm and I'm slowly squeezing the throttle to WOT, does the ESC activate like a fully-on/off switch? Would it yield peaky, turbo-like (eg.single turbo supra power curve)??

I know ESC is designed primarily for street application, but I'm just concerned it might change the linear, predictable on-limit nature of the twins.

I take my on-ramps full beast mode lol.

At 5000 rpm you'll get about 2.5 psi of boost. It's enough that you'll know it's there and help you drive out of the corner, but not enough to upset your line...unless you want it too (just a bit of opposite lock and you'll be drifting).

Where are you guys reading your boost from. I take Intake Manifold Absolute Pressure and subtract Barometric Pressure (as supplied from the ECU). I never see 4.0 psi and I think it has to do with the lag in the reporting rate. I'm reading/reporting at a very slow 1Hz rate, making it hard to get detailed info.

Just for shitz and grinds,have anyone tried their luck at the 1/4 mile drag strip?
What kind of times are you posting

Nobody has tried 1/4 yet.

You would think that it should get low 14s easily seeing as how the frs was pulling on the ap1 in your videos

Low 14 will definitely be possible with a good driver.

Shiv's car (TQ250 dual dump + e85) would be in the 13's i believe....We are expecting to be in the high 230hp with e85 and dual dump

Update your oft and look for the Act Boost channel instead of MAP channel.

Worst case scenario you would go from 100 percent na power to like 130 percent power with boost depending on rpm. It has never been enough to upset the car in 3rd or higher gear. In first or 2nd you can get the back to step out mid corner if you time the boost right....its a lot of fun

Supra would be like 100 percent power off boost and 250 percent on boost lol.

Right on. Pairing up with header/reflash presumably help the partial power delivery when ESC isn't activated...brilliant

I'm interested in being able to run in non-boosted mode. I'm not entirely sure why, but I am. LOL.

Ordered all of my batteries today! Total of $182.21 for the 5 batteries required for the 1.5 dump pack.

You do everytime you create a negetive pressure between the charger and the throttle body.

His mode just lets him go WOT without the boost. In standard mode drag reduction will kick in and give you the NA feel.

I LOVE drag reduction....any time you tip into the throttle the charger adds just a bit of boost to get you going.....im tempted to call it 'torque fill' but then mclearen might sue me

Drag reduction really is the crown jewel of this whole system.
