You're gunna fry your clutches often driving on the street the way you like to if you kiggly mod.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

You are the only person I've ever heard say that, can you tell me why?
Also strange because munchgsx and a ton of other people have had no issues and they have all driven a shit ton more miles than I have.

Sorry I should've said *could*. You know me n know I just started learning about autos. If Nick or Carl says differently, I might listen to them .

But I did come across this video a while back. I'll warn ya the guys camera skills suck. skip to 1:30

I just need to find a ratchet shifter and make sure that they can downshift in the same manner they upshift then i will get it done.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Now that I think about it, high power with low pressure allowing the clutches to slip too much might cause that guys problem. I'll PM Kiggly n see what he says.

Shift box?

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Yeah a shiftbox would be sweet. :)

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

I've never heard of the kiggly mod frieng clutches. High pressure shifts should be easer on the clutches but harder on everything else. if you can find the the plugs you could easiely wire up the kiggly mod to a extra set of plugds and swap back to TCU when not at the track.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Gotcha.

I just looked up the shiftbox plus and it lets you program up shifts. Instead of guessing when to shift with the Kiggly mod. Because of the shift lag, I found it not as easy as you'd think to shift when you want. So with the shiftbox you could pinpoint exactly when the right time is. Even if it's several hundred rpms early. Additionally, you can wire it with a TCU for street driving. Really sounds like the best thing for street / strip cars.

Carl, have you had problems with shifting early or late with the Kiggly mod?

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

I have my automatic setup with my maft pro. As soon as I hit a set amount of boost (curently set at 8 psi), the maft pro triggers a relay. The relay moves the circuit over from the main pressure solenoid to a resistor. The resistor acts like a fake solenoid so the tcu does not go into limp mode. Now since the tcu is no longer controlling the main pressure solenoid, I have full main pressure on the clutches above the set amount of boost. This is also nice as it retains smooth shifting when just driving around town.

Originally I had this set up with my maft pro based on tps voltage. There has to be something out there that could trigger a relay based on a 5 volt reference. If there is, setting it up this way works quite well.

Like a boss!

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Any chance I can get this shift box crap out of my thread, mods?

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Well I picked up an old Hurst Quarter stick ratchet shifter and I've got a line on some Corbeau seats.

I think that if I get those seats I'll probably take out the back seats since they are fixed back seats.

Oh and I weighed the car at scrap place and it came in at 2980lbs, not sure how accurate it is, but I don't have a reason think it is off by a lot.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Let me know if you need any help wireing up the kiggly mod. I have one of the 2 plugs you need for it. if you can find the other you wount have to hack your stock harness.

Was the 2980 with or without you? my damn 2g (and driver) need to do on a diet so I can keep up with you.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

2980lbs without me
3140 with me

All weights with about 1/2 tank of gas.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Sounds about right. Mine was 3200 with a full tank and me.

The previous owner painted it with some crap, I think I'm gonna get it blasted and do it in some crappy black spray stuff for this year and next winter get it coated professionally maybe, unless I can find some good deal on ceramic coatings this winter, but I'm out of the loop on ceramic coatings.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Looks like it's cracked and been re-welded a few times.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Is that the one from Humes' car?

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Yeah, but I was showed it doesn't leak and I have a welder so I'm not worried. Plus like i said it was cheap.

Nope.
