I'd like 30 seconds of my life back, please.

Actually, since I watched it at work, those 30 seconds earned me 17 cents.....

Phil, you have to remember that the MPS3 only makes 190kW in 5th and 6th gears.

And on the blacktop you will only get up to 4th gear, so he is still 4~6psi short of full power by the end of that run...

Gav.

Umm, isn't the 3 MPS limited in first and second gear to only give 170kw, but 3-6 is full boost/power?

If your question is a quizzicle answer, then just correct me and say so. I'm only going off what the owner's of the 2 MPS3s I've been in have told me. It is possible 1st and 2nd are throttled to such a boost level, and then 3rd and 4th less so until 5th and 6th have full boost. That's all very rudimentary anyhow, as 1st and 2nd gears get you to over 100kph in an MPS3, by which time the race is more than half over...

There are other things about the MPS3 than in-gear EBC that bothers me.

I know there is a torque-limiting device in first and second only (read in multiple reviews), not sure if that is tied to the boost limiter or not.

I've only been told about the EBC limiting. But you've sparked my interest to investigate this further. Not that I really care, but Phil does, and I would hate for him to buy or not buy a car because of a youtube vid and someone's hear-say over such things. Surely the answer would present itself after cruising through a few forums.

Interestingly though, there are only 3 ways I can think of to actively limit torque, and that is by boost control, advancing/retarding the timing (whatever applies in this case) and varying an intake or exhaust feature.

Cheers, Gav.

Rev-cut could do it too, depending on the power/torque curve, which could be either timing, ignition or fuel cut.

I've been saying it for years and no one believed me.

Cars with driver aids that can't be turned off should be immediately removed from any list.

Many levels of awesome about the XR5T, except where you spend all of your time, inside the car...

after watching tiff destroy the xr5t and rave on the gtimkv, i'm thinking of saving some more, getting the apc chip, and then having the best of both worlds. and the gti is lightest.

well the mps is now officially out the door, not coming back. what a disgrace.

The Golf, yes, often overlooked. An alternative for the APC chip it is to get the Oettinger chip from APC. It's cheaper, but there was a catch IIRC. Anyhow, the $2k you pay for the chip gives massive power gains, and you maintain a quiet comfortable car. End of story really. Except you might want to look into gearbox reliability first. I'm not sure if the Golf was afflicted by any issues. Surely it can't be worse than a Sportivo, and you got a good one of those anyhow...

You have my blessing Phil,

Gav.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
