I converted after 9 months of sequential problems, now i am at full boost all the way till redline, the only problem is the damn boost creep up to 14-15 psi, that sucks, i cant really get on it, but the way it is now it seems 10 times better than ever before... Does anyone know what stuff i can get rid of now? Vac hose wise?

 

Sweet man, :1party: I just converted too because of sequential problems. I havent driven it yet though. Did you do the "poor-man" conversion. If so what all did you do....

-I pulled off the TCA - plugged lines
-Wired the door open
-Pulled off Charge Control lines - plugged
-Pulled off Turbo Pre-control lines - plugged
-Pulled off Charge Relief vacuum line - plugged
-Switched the Wastegate solenoid line to the Turbo Pre-Control solenoid (For boost control with the Power FC)

I just wanted to make sure I did not do anything wrong.

will switching over to non-seq. effect the 1/4 mile time

 

I am running squential...and just got my motor rebuilt w/street port. But when the vaccum lines were put in... I am not 100%
sure they were put back correctly.

The car seems to have decent HP but I still think I might be missing about 40 HP.

I too was wondering about 1/4 mile times with non-squential?

Thanks for the replies.... jc.

 

I ran 11.74 on non-sequential, so no it won't effect your 1/4 mile times, negitively anyway. Anthony from T&R went 11.1 non-sequential!

 

And I know someone that runs 11.7 sequential. He went non-sequential, and now he wants to go back. He likes the low end power.

I think it's just a matter of preference. It's just a matter of if you want to deal with the sequential system or not to keep low end power. You go non and you gain top end. You stay seq and you get to have low end.

 

I realize it can be done sequential, but he asked if going non-sequential had any effects in the 1/4. Also, if you can get by without having the lowend, the other positives, IMO, outweigh the negitives going non-sequential. The one main reason for myself doing it was the elimination of the selanoid rack and vacume lines.

 

[cough cough] get it right man.... 11.6 @118

 

I don't neccessarily agree with this statement but I don't feel like arguing.

 

There is no doubt you lose a little low end going non-seq...if you dont notice you need to turn up the sensitivity on your butt-dyno. There is nothing like driving a properly working seq.system..the car is a absolute joy..

 

newbie question......what is boost creep?

thanks.

 

boost creeping higher and higher becasue of the wastegate not being able to vent enough exhaust.

 

I agree. I don't think there is any top end to be gained by going to nonseq. In theory if you gut the turbo manifold then you will pick up some air flow. I don't think it would be very noticeable on a dyno. The advantage nonseq has is in the midrange from about 4000 to 4500 rpms. The biggest differnce I noticed is much smoother accelleration pulling out of turns on a race track. For the street I think seq is the way to go. Of course this is just my personal opinion.
