when you dyno tune, you eliminate that issue. i havent had mine dyno tuned yet, i run mine hard about twice a week

I had a similar thread where i was getting 8.13 second 0-60 sprints on my 05 5AT Coupe. Still havent had any fix to it and that was almost a year ago. I need to run a new sprint to see what my times are now... hopefully better...
I changed trans fuid, went synthetic everything including differential, got a new exhaust, lighter wheels and sticky tires but still feels the same slow @$$ acceleration.
My problem was the loss of HP from altitude. I live in Parker Colorado, the elevation is 6700FT above sea level and with air density on hot days its more like 7500FT. What im getting at is for every 1000FT above sea level you are, its 2% HP loss based on that. Plus the drivetrain loss being auto and RWD it really kills your performance.
Im going to try new cats and plenum spacer. Then stock air box with a new non-paper filter to combat the alititude. Hopefully it will help. I wonder how fast my car is at sea level lol i almost wanna take a road trip just for that.
Possibly grounding kit too in case theres a inconsistent electrical being a drive by wire car.

man thats slow..the non rev-up is so much weaker and its an AT too.. good thing I got the rev-up 6MT...
Registered User
Umm the non rev-ups also have common oil consumption sooo... id rather be VQ35DE 5AT and keep my car untill 150,000 miles lol

Oh well,,, i just got a new motor for free from warranty at 95000km (59000miles), so I am pretty happy. I am just saying the non rev-up motors seem weaker

That 1st Video didn't look like it was to 60. More like 140mph.

Yep, it's another one of those "little issues" with G's and Z's. Mine (on my '03 6MT coupe) acted very sluggish for quite a long time before it ever actually threw a code. There's 2 of the camshaft position sensors - 1 at the back of each cylinder head - and 1 crankshaft position sensor, on the bottom, in front of the bellhousing. One or all 3 could be going bad. The cam sensors are between 50 and 60 bucks each, and I don't know the cost on the crank sensor, but probably similar. Mine in particular was the passenger side cam sensor. It felt like a new car again after changing it!

to answer your question, yes, you need to push it to the limits so it doesnt "forget" about the ranges outside of your normal everyday driving. its called adaptive learning computer logic. it doesnt mean that when you go WOT that the car wont respond, it just means that it wont respond like you think it will because it hasnt learned the parameters for that throttle position. it uses the default settings programmed in from the factory, which are set based on a new engine, and not adjusted for engine wear.
Thank you Lucas, being a burnt out newbie from the 70s, it actually just clicked how the ECU reset thing works...good job.Originally Posted by Lucas
