improve 0-60 time/ more stage 0

[jblackburn]

Yes, video if you can. I would have said that did sound like the CBV, but I suppose not.

But please, change that air filter. Even a cheap Purolator one will be better for the engine than sucking in crap off the road. Mine's always full of little pine needles and gravel and crap.

Reset the computer and reprogram the IPD turbo control valve (remove negative cable, tap brakes a few times, reconnect it, then follow the instructions that came with it). You will have to be VERY light on the throttle for "half-boost" on your car, since the turbo on a GLT spools up almost instantly.

This is how I did my compression test:

Also, I think our GLT will beat my T-5R to 60. I have never timed it to 60 but the torque kicks in so low in the RPM range it's a shame.

@ JBlackBurn: Don't know why your E - S button does not make a difference on your car but it surely does on both of my cars. On my T-5R it's a big difference. Like letting the tiger loose. On the GLT it's notiicable as well. Our GLT will shift 800 rpm sooner in E.

okay. ill try to get one tomorrow, of both engine noise and 0-60. im sure theres some way i can put an accurate time in the video with sony vegas or something. Thanks for all the help!
and so theres no way to keep my current turbo and get down to 7~ seconds? how much for a new turbo? should i go with the t5's 16t? if i get a bigger turbo, what other mods should i make? i do want to be able to burn out though... and if im getting a new turbo, i want a big one muahahahaha
lots of questions, i know
(im like a little kid at christmas with this car, i absolutely love it. it anaged to keep up with a hyundai genesis r-spec on a twisty mountain road, one of the best driving roads i have ever been on. its like our little secret ) i also secretly want to beat his car's 0-60 time... about 6.5 seconds. what would it take to get my car to a real, useable, 300 hp? not kicking in at 6999 rpm, but smooth power throughout?
i feel like i should be starting a thread for each question D:

You'd need a V6 or a better transmission at the least for the smooth powerband and better acceleration.

Out of one of these engines, you've got to compromise one way or the other. Bottom-end power that drops off at higher speeds like the GLT has (where the small turbo can only wheeze up to 8-10 PSI out of it with a tune), or a crap bottom-end with high top-end power like the T5 has. It's just one of the drawbacks to small turbocharged engines, BUT they do get better gas mileage and can crank out more power pretty easily just by adding more turbo boost.

I had to get out in a bunch of traffic this morning where I had to go from pretty much 0-70 uphill in front of trucks barreling down a mountain, and foot on the floor as it started off, I thought "oh crap, I'm going to die". Then the turbo finally decided to pick up and carried me off. Virginia has great intersections

Tunes can improve your power for one setup or the other, but you're never going to have the same effect as actual engine displacement throughout the entire power range.

Newer turbo technology like BMW's x35 engines have dual turbos, one smaller and one bigger, so that there's an even powerband throughout the rev range. I think Ford does the same with their Ecoboost V6 engines. The Hyundai Sonata 2.0T has a nice 274 hp out of a 4-banger, but it's a bit slow on pickup. The VW 2.0T has a lot of pep at the bottom of the range, but only 180-200 HP and can easily be taken by a T5 over 40 mph.

That, and you've got a stupid 4-speed automatic with HUGE gear ratios. 1st gear ends at 45 (even some V8 trucks don't stretch that far), and 2nd goes to 80. That kills "sprint" acceleration times, but also keeps them from lighting up tires like a 4-cylinder Accord or something does if you floor it in first gear.

My advice would be to do stage 0 maintenance and then start looking around at performance tunes for the car. If you do go with the 16T, as I said, you will lose that bottom-end acceleration. But several have said that chipping a GLT makes for a pretty fun daily driver, a good 15-20 extra HP and lots more torque. Torque is what pushes you back in the seat and carries you away from a dead stop. You're not going to get 300 HP from it without some MAJOR surgery.

Okay. Right. Is there anyway to use a 16t with a smaller do to move the power band lower? I would like to try and balance the power band. Okay. What about 250~ with the 13g? Or should I move to a 15t?

[s70glt novice[Will]]

The 0-60 pretty flat.

now here is the sound, you can sorta hear it when i drop from 2500 rpm to 2000 or less. my car is not as noisy as it seems, the phone mic is just looking for something to pick up. Also, it wont make the noise if its in park. havent tested neutral but probably the same thing.

Why is the CEL on? I noticed in the 1st video, your car did not red line.

Not sure why you want to burn tire. Our S70 will burn tire all day long every time. No tune or anything. I have been pulled over in it twice: first by 2 state troupers that seen me spinning tire messing with a Mustang, second was when I done it one night just before I got home. Left some much smoke from the tires the second time that the police had to wait for the smoke to clear a little before he came and got me AND gave me a ticket. I really didn't know you could get a ticket from burning tire.

Never pulled over for speeding in my yellow, never pulled over in my black wagon. Only the red GLT that burns tires pretty easy.

Burning tires does 3 things really well:
1 Wears out tires real fast, not to mention makes the get out of ballance.
2 Attracts attention so you're sure to get tickets.
3 Cost you time because you loose traction instead of picking up speed.

[s70glt novice[Will]]

CEL is a mystery. and yea, no redline. however, i wasnt flooring it. close, but not. and true, i kinda want to power band in the middle, 3k and up to really GO.

[s70glt novice[Will]]

any idea what that hollow, high-pitched noise is?

[s70glt novice[Will]]

okay, looked around, found that a cheaper upgrade would be a 16t, white injectors and a t5 ecu. would i really need the injectors? what if i decide to get an ecu tune? i know id need injectors then, but would it cause any more complications with it being a glt? i like the low end power of the glt, but would like to see 250 or more HP. preferably with the stock turbo, but that no longer seems feasible. can ipd adjust the tune for a 15t?(so i dont lose ALL of my bottom end like a 16t, or is my theory kaput?)
i ask so many questions xD
