secondary boost slow after hodling to 6000 RPMS
I've noticed that in 3rd gear, while I get 10-lbs of boost at WOT, if I drop and hold the throttle to 6000 RPMS, and then nail it, I only get 5-lbs of boost and then about 3-seconds later 10-lbs. of boost.
Is this normal ?
If not, what could be the problem ?
BTW: vaccuum is good at (-)18, and I replaced all lines with VITON.
Thanks,
Neil

M104-AMG, do you boost 10-8-10 in all gears? (even after you do a WOT run in multiple gears)

I will boost 10-8-10, if I start at about 3000 RPM, in all gears.
Here's how I normally drive autox:
Hit first and second hard at 10-8-10.
Back off the throttle while in second, and modulate around 6000 RPM through the corners; then WOT out. Here is where I have poor boost, more like 5-6 lbs then 2-3 seconds later, I'm up to 10lbs, but too late for that section, so back to modulating the throttle around 6000 RPM.

I also just tested both vacuum chambers, and each hold 15-lbs of pressure and vaccuum.

Maybe this is just normal for a stock non-sequential ?

It's obvious that no one here goes to the track anymore...sigh.
If you are hitting the throttle at 6k rpm, there is NO lag. Period. Even on a stock car. On the track, I am in non-sequential mode the entire session and there is never any lag. Anywhere, anytime. Even with the stock cat.
There is something wrong with his control system.

I vaguely remember how it used to be, and I am glad you said there should be "NO LAG PERIOD".
Time to do it by the book and very methodical. . . .
When you say control system, what specifically do you mean ?
BTW: would a clogged cat cause this problem, or running too rich with the M2 Stage III ECU?

I just replaced BOTH the charge control solenoid and the turbo control solenoid. Both solenoids were tested with 12VDC and a pressure test to 15-lbs so there should be not sticktion.
I also just tested both vacuum chambers, and each hold 15-lbs of pressure and vaccuum.

Are you willing to present data that negates this? I am not trying to contradict what you are saying, but I just want to clarify your statement with some proof.
So yes, if you go up to 5k rpm boosting and then let it drop back down to 3500 rpm, there will be some lag (much less if you are full non-sequential and open exhaust) when you nail the throttle. However, at 6k rpm, there is no lag, at least not in MY experience. Certainly not to the extent that M104-AMG was describing. If your car works that way, there's something wrong with your control system.
M104-AMG was even stating this occured in 2nd gear! I don't know about you but if I nail the throttle anywhere above 3000 rpm in 2nd, it's immediate and hard acceleration.
I have runs several dozen track sessions, all effectively in non-sequential (due to the behavior noted above). I have never noticed any lag except for when I wasn't driving properly (or in a few cases, due to the track condition) and was below 4k rpm -- with a stock cat. Then again I am not MASHING the throttle on the track, but SMOOTHLY going WOT, which may hide the "lag" a small amount.

The biggest source of slow/laggy boost is the solenoids - Dave Disney developed a little test that shows solenoids which are sticking under backpressure. Next time you're in there, take them out and bench test them with a Mityvac according to his test.
Another 'slow' control component can be the CCA. I found that disassembling the butterfly and linkage and cleaning/regreasing it keeps it moving nice and snappy.

I'll have to re-examine and play with the butterly and linkeages, but they "look" clean and feel snappy.
Yes, I am MASHING throttle not slowly going to WOT, since this is in AutoX.
So far:
I have tested chamber "B" of the charge control actuator (http://www.autosportracetech.com/RX-...leshooting.htm) and it was not holding pressure or vaccuum. This was replaced with a tested one.
I also found the vaccuum lines to the charge control relief valve and the double-throttle control actuator were slightly pinched. These we re-routed with new VITON lines.
Although the check-valve for the vaccuum chamber tested good (vaccuum & pressure upto 25 psi on both sides), I replaced it with a new VITON one from Dave Clark.
Test drive feels better, and better response as well.
We shall see . . .
