Or are you saying you dont want to have your daily driving timing advanced for to long?

Yep! You are safe to drive daily with a +2 timing advance, just make sure you use 93 octane gas.

Btw the speedlimiter setting worked, I was able to go over 110mph.

im more then interested in this..i should be ordering in the next couple weeks for the 6speed 3.5

AWESOME!!! i'm glad i read this post beeeeeeecause a friend of mine WORKS at turbochargers.com and is actually trying to get me to buy some of their coupe parts. if they turn out to have this programmer then i can see if they can test out my 2.5 cvt. fckin A!

Im sure you do but i hope you have after market wheels, i dont feel safe doing 90 on my conti's...

im not gonna try to go over 100 i just want the extra power you know

I was more refering to d roll about going over 100 but i agree with you, i want the power. I want to squeeze everything out of my 2.5.

yes try it out on your cvt and let me know how it goes. like I said before Im really interested in this but this stupid CVT transmission always scares me.

shoulda just waited the few extra months for the 6speed.

mikegtr06 wrote:what happened to

i was skeptical at first too... but now i want to try it alot !!!!!

Well i already have a trust/greddy emanage blue piggy back ecu so i doubt this would benefit me, but will be interested if i'll be able to squeeze out some more power.

+1dealer kept playing with my emotions saying they wold get one but never happened!

Waited 5 months for mine bitchez

i didn't wait a day. went to the dealership and liked it so i took it home.

I went to a the dealership 5 miles from my house and all they have was cvt's and 3.5 (was poor then). So they tried to pull a trade with a dealership in nj, and the guy from the other dealership said no dice. i figured i was done, but to my surprise the guy game me the number and the name of the dealership.

80 miles away and 1.5 hour drive. I got my 6mt thank god

I don't think changing ignition timing requires a change in octane rating because your compression ratio is still the same... Maybe even less since the piston has 2 degrees worth of time LESS to compress the a/f mixture (obviously, this is on a very MINUTE scale... no need to get all worried). Thus, the pinging in this case would be caused by simply premature detonation and not by the compression ratio igniting the mixture through heat, no?

!Someone correct me if I'm wrong! I LOVE (yes, I've tried it before) the idea of getting to use premium fuel, so don't mistake me for trying to point out the economical view. And if you're worried about premium having more detergent (hence "better"), imagine a high-octane tank and a low-octane tank at the gas station; you're simply getting a blend and that four octane difference will not yield a significant greater amount of better detergent from the high octane tank.

Yeah bro I have the Bridgestone RE050A which are "W" rated so i am good up until 168mph I only pushed the coupe to about 120mph just to make sure I was able to go over 110mph. Mind you I was in 5th gear with 1 more gear to go

Haha, what rpms were you at in 5th gear?

i wonder how fast the 2.5 goes.

one more gear is alot.

Was the car smooth at 120, i bet it was.

i tried out 150mph on 3.5 stock rubber and suspesion and i could have swore i heard an air traffic controller say i was clear for lift off. floated all over the place and it was a pretty scary ride. since installing the eibachs and wider/lower profile nitto invo's 150mph really isn't that bad.

Okay i def want this now...lol So why is it we never heard anything on this while it was in R&D? it just kinda popped onto the market..lol

Any update on this?

I believe the rpms were around 5500 when I went over 110mph, it was very smooth as well. She wanted to keep going, but I had to let off the gas.

So id say 135 140 seems like it would be the top speed?

id love to drive that fast, im sure id get caught and loose my license again.

Yeah I know the feeling. Fastest I got the coupe was about 145. She felt solid and was still pulling when I let off the gas. But if you think 150 is fast, you should try 220 on a bike where you only have about 1/2" inch of contact patch between you and the road. Now that's scary!

U did 220 on your bike? R u crazy?

Whats a half inch? My pedals are atleast 6 inches off the ground.

The fastest i went on my bike was 110. The bike had a ton more left.

i was on the turnpike heading to a party in philly. As i am driving a bmw passed me when i was doing 105. I sped up to 110 and couldnt catch him. He was prolly going to rough his wife up or something.

i think the 1/2" he was talking about was the amount of tire thats in contact with the road

Probably ... but like you im not trying to get pulled over.

haha, rough up his wife.....good line, did he look mad in the car??

JDRosenberg07 wrote:i think the 1/2" he was talking about was the amount of tire thats in contact with the road

That's correct. At those speeds, everything is a blur and progressive looking is the only way you'll survive.. One second with your mind wondering someplace else is not a good thing and could end up in a bad situation.

lol i couldnt tell if he was madd or not. I had a helmet on and was already doing about 100 mph when he flew up and by me. I couldnt really see anything at that speed... All i could tell was it was a Caucasian younger dude...
