They've been 'getting close' on stuff for the X for the six months that I've had the car.  I'm sure it's tough work to reverse engineer the ECU. I'll certainly send a few bucks whenever something is delivered. |

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
NLTS is the best thing ever! I would run a second slower if I dint have it! NLTS makes it possible for anyone to drive a car fast down the 1/4 mile.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
NLTS can be a little tricky at first if you have never used it before,Kracka and schiedes witnessed my first attempt with it. But after some practice, its a very fun mod.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
It drops the RPM's by a user-set amount. I personally have mine set at 1000. Clutch in at 7500, RPM's drop to 6500; clutch in at 4000, drop to 3000, etc.

I believe 800 is the default, but I generally set it to 1,000 on any car I install Tephra on. It really doesn't matter much since the actual RPM drop is ~1,500 (varies depending on gear of course); you'll only notice if you're a slow shifter. The only time I actually bounce off the limiter is doing a NLTS into 5th gear; I baby 5th so I don't get the common grind so so many people have developed.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
Well my car goes through 1-4 gears beautifully.
However, last night doing a fifth gear pull (freeway passing)the clutch basically opened up completely, meaning slipped horribly.
It slipped and bounced all the way off the rev limiter. I let it cool down and its back to normal but the new clutch will coming soon now. I was thinking about doing a few things before it because it was holding up great. However I don't want to have to think about it anymore. So new clutch will be coming.

No need to now, well there wasn't. Enough power in fifth to pass. When you are going 80 already, the gearing on the X is such that you are already building boost. So fifth gets used a lot for passing, at least for me. |

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
Passing? I'm always in the right lane. 
I hate 5th gear...at 45ish it is at a lugging rpm range. |

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
Haha with my DSM I never downshifted from 5th to pass. 16g FTW!

Yeah, that would be a part I would wait for the price to drop on, I can see that thing being about $3-400 in about 2 years

Id rather invest more in my head or even drop ins, rods/pistons, and rev the car out to 8500-9000rpms. Then get taller tires if need be. That way I wouldn't need this. |
