Rob_Mitchell Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Tbh mate ive never even pressed it as I think thats what the previous owner said. I will have to clarify that for sure first tho. Does your mode light flash constantly? it should do.... if it stays on and dont flash then manual mode is on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keron Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Is your car a original tt to begin with and not a na converted?? I know when you do a tt conversion on a na, the Manu light does not operate and the overdrive light flashes... Due to not having traction control and confuses the system?? Just a thought...

Kaan W Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Does it feel faster? It does a little bit and also feels much smoother now on boost than before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 It does a little bit and also feels much smoother now on boost than before. Auto's are always a pain to dyno, with your hi stall I'd imagine it will be even harder, if the gearbox seems to work ok I'd not worry about the graph.

When we had a play on the motorway yours launches stupidly quickly, we struggled to stay with in the RX and thats no slouch. They had trouble mapping mine as the wheels kept spinning up on the dyno. We need the weather to test her out but as Jamie said ignore the graph for now. Just contact Titan and ask a few questions, might be something silly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just contact Titan and ask a few questions, might be something silly I hope so but I think the weather is 100 percent the problem for me, im hoping on a nice hot day this car will transform completley. I also think as well as the tc slipping the wheels were too as you will see from the video all the smoke. Its just too dam cold thats what it is mate. Today has been a write off from the minute I woke up with the coolant pipe not turning up until 11 when I was suppose to be with Ryan at 10, on top of all this my lower oil line was leaking at the fitting and I lost half my oil while on the dyno so I was at a garage opposite for 2 hours getting that sorted. THEN, 2 crashes and snow on the m25 doubled the time it took to get home! I feel mentally exhausted after today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littler Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 How about going onto a hub dyno so you can out all the power down rather than spinning the rears? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be an option next time I suppose, im just gutted at the moment I was really hoping to come back home with a nice dyno print out.

Seems to me your experiencing a run of niggly problems that are really frustrating, I know because I have been there with mine. The car is great and I can tell you a lot of our members would gladly own it. Just get a plan together, sort the minor issues and get prepared for a lot of fun later in the year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 That's a shame, man Hope you get it sorted. Also, if you had a faulty auto 'box, you could have got a new one for a couple of hundred quid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too tired to think lol! correct the speed sensor spag have different number of teeth! so this maybe why its wanting to kick down if its a jspec box in a uk it might think its going a different speed then it is ! ask the questions feel sorry for you mate not had the best of luck with this, but still dyno numbers mean nothing and can be as much as 20% out so the first dyno might of read high and this one low Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaan W Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 Message from Ryan - The issue I had was the overdrive was not working and due to this the torque converter lock up solenoid was not engaging. Also it would never engage 3rd gear. If in 4th it would kick down 2nd always. Needs the overdrive to work and ideally manual mode. Basically it needs to run in 3rd gear otherwise it over speeds the dyno. We did manage to get a full run in 4th but only because the torque converter was slipping enough to allow the rpm to reach 6800rpm. This should not happen when the lock up solenoid engages properly. So does anyone have any idea why my torque converter would be slipping? Also manual mode doesnt seem to make a difference when im driving so I guess it dont work. As for overdrive im not quite sure what its suppose to do but if rolling down a hill at say 60mph and I click it out the revs will increase slightly. This tells me that its going from 4th to 3rd? Come to think of it, it does take ages to pick up speed once it goes over 100mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robzki Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 When in manu mode and in D it will feel sluggish pulling away from a standing start. If manu isnt working it will pull away in 1st then change to 2nd and then 3rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
