Oh I’m still active. Just replying from my personal account. The Tork tune is MUCH smoother so that big punch (which with EC sometimes wasn’t there and sometimes it was) is no more. Instead John builds the torque upward gradually so it doesn’t make you go “oh wow”, but it’ll pull that hard every single time. That’s the beauty of the Tork tune.

Yep.

I recommend running the stock flywheel unless you want to make your car edgier to drive in traffic. The SMF is a magical thing for track days.

Right on! What’s your peak boost? I think I had a 25psi tune for their chipbox from speedmotive for this video.

Hello! I rev to 3000RPM and I slip out the clutch as slow as possible (not burning it, but not dropping it either) and let the driveline load up and get the car to roll out. My shift point is as high as possible. Why? Because the area under the curve is higher after a shift, for some reason people think you need to maximize "torque" values but that is a good way of going slower and why my record (14.235) still stands.

Thanks!!! I currently have an ATP high flow, CX Racing dual cat back (similar to neuF) and I’ve added a 2.5” magnaflow round muffler. The Magnaflow really reduces the rasp and makes a big difference for daily driving. I will be adding a catless downpipe to pump up the volume, but I’m actually really happy with the current sound. It’s so good to hear the engine and tires again.

@@BrodeyDoverosx oh shit dude this is yours? why did i have that feeling? lol anyway its turbodharma :P o/

Calme toi big c une sentra

The car has been excellent. Just stay away from sticky tracks (if you get the meth tune from John). My diff exploded and that was a fun time. That said, I was chasing the first 13 second flat 500 (stock turbo) record and John and I built a custom tune.

@@BrodeyDoverosx I'm gonna be coming from a 2012 Golf MK6R with 340whp. Cars down and out for the year while it gets some major repairs. Stock Turbo finally gave its last boost, my valve cover gasket needs done, full PCV system replaced... gonna just (sadly) chuck it in the garage, wait a year, save up and build a 450+whp R for 2022. I just want something that's still as fun feeling, which is why I went looking for Abarth's. The one I'm looking at looks like its done up well. Gonna do a video about it if I get it Saturday. Might even ask the guy if I can do a video anyway, if I don't get it, to help him sell it because he's had it for over 2 months at his car lot. Its fully gutted for weight saving, only original seats are in it and the dash. Everything else is basically gone.

Did you end up getting it?

@@doverlabs yeah I did. So much fun in fact that I'm selling my golf just to pay for more parts for the Fiat. There's a video of a track day with my car on my channel. Fastest I've gone on a quarter mile I don't have a video up but that was 14.99. I need to do a front mount intercooler, and multi air springs, then I should be much better off. Tork is a bit confused why I'm not lower in the 14s but we think it's the fact that don't have that inner cooler, probably have a really small boost leak somewhere and because I have a breakup and power due to valve float since I'm still on the multi-air stock springs

Awesome! I'm glad you're running the Tork tune. With a FMIC, downpipe and Tork Stage 1 I was running 14.9 all day and 14.8 on a good pull. With stage 2 I was running 14.6 all day and 14.4 on a good pull. With Stage 2 Meth....I was running 14.4 all day and 14.2 on a good pull ;-). Contrast this to the EC Stage 2 tune (beta) with race gas where I got a best of 14.965 lol. I seriously doubt the quality of their "race testers". That's why I switched to Tork....I spent tons of money and got nowhere with their tuner. Of course they are angry about it...but the results speak for themselves. Perhaps they can get better? Learn to tune faster cars?

A rematch? I’m another 0.2-0.4 seconds faster with my 100% methanol tune. I popped my differential from the ridiculous torque and with covid19 we haven’t made it back out unfortunately. I now have an fx250 clutch and a lightweight flywheel so I suspect the goal post moving kids on Facebook wouldn’t accept the result. In any case, I had a lot of fun and the cars were closer than expected.

Ozzpocket Productions wow, so glad to see a close enthusiast of these speakers. You nailed it on the head, they definitely aren’t true high end but they have a unique sound that continues to pull you in. The lower model is the fpf-600 and the higher end model was the fpf-1600. I sold them when I moved to a smaller apartment but I’ve been looking for a pair just to see... lol

​@@BrodeyDoverosx Iol.. I forgot about the larger model...I think they stood taller and used two 8 inch woofers, 4 midrange ribbons and two tweeters...Never got to hear them as the store I got these in only carried the two smaller...and actually, they didn't even really carry them as a rule...he had purchased one pair of each from the rep to test them out. I've bought a lot of audio equipment over the years, and out of ALL of it, the only one I ever truly regretted was those...they weren't exactly cheap, and then I spent even MORE money on them trying unsuccessfully to mod them to sound better. I've thought about selling them over the years, but I don't think anyone local would buy them...I don't have the boxes anymore, and the things are pretty darned heavy, so shipping would be pretty expensive... I actually think they'd sound better if one of the mid-range drivers was turned off. It's sort of a D'appolito design, as is, which I learned a long time ago, I personally don't care for in any speaker I've heard that utilizes it. (Not saying it's bad...just saying it doesn't appeal to me). I might open them up to check...but I seem to remember the way they were wired, made it difficult to just take one out of the circuit....but, again, it was a long time ago, so I may actually check into that today. I'd be really curious to hear your opinion on them if you WERE able to find a pair (though, I'm guessing they're probably rather rare at this point)

@@Tull1996 I’m thinking I’ll be looking at a GR ribbon to get that fix. Like you said, the crossover is off, driver placement is off but if I saw a set for cheap I’d absolutely buy them.

Tunnel Vision hell yah brother. I miss mine a lot!

Leem Wills cool, I’m glad that you think it’s the case.

bodhi I used the depo intercooler hard pipe.

Unfortunately I’ve never checked. It is a useless metric for me so I’ve never measured!

Metrosexual Millwright exactly. At full throttle they are both very close. I recently checked my spark plug gaps because I was getting spark plug blow out, which may not have helped me out so much. My friends brisks were well worn so we’ll have to battle it out again. We both have recently gapped setups.

This vid is great... can't find any other direct comparison between both tunes. Thx for the upload!

It was awesome but if you know me from the forums, I was running a fully customized suspension. How did you enjoy it?

Awesome! They are stealthy fast!

Looks to be about 10 minutes :-(

sport cat 200 cpi

ryanhayn 6-7 I haven’t measured it though I should try at liskville

Natalie Smit wow, how did I not see this?
