Corky's latest book "Supercharged" link

 

You seem to have gotten alot of the same mods as MaxHAx. Anyone else thinking what i'm thinking?

 

Anyone else thinking what i'm thinking?...

No not really... Track model and 12SecZ has been around for a while...

 

Could you post a picture of your instrument setup in your car? I curious on what brand name, color, and orientation you chose. Thanks.

anywayz......ATI Procharger, how about that buy-back?.....I know you want to square this up with your customers......this sounds like a great way to do it

side note: MaxHax doesn't have the Injen, or a wideband O2

 

You have to be an idiot to know that isn't MaxHax. See the little search icon.. Click it. It is obviously him.. WHy are you fronting in your posts that your engine never blew? That doesn't make sense. It obviously did.

 

Oh ok, so its not the same DB supercharger z with the technos and PE injectors. Thats what he claimed in another thread. There must just be two of them

I dont see why a person who has stated that they hate this board so much would still come over to the EB.

 

I was asked by Admin to hide my identity for this very reason. I do not understand why people would not want to hear the success story of someone who lost an engine, overcame it it and is posting how he did it. My car runs perfectly and I paid for all of it myself with my own money. Thanks Del350, I hope you feel real good now. I am not trying to hide, I am doing what was requested of me by this forum. I cannot win if I post my good experience or my bad so what is the point? Why do I have to pretend to be someone else? My car runs perfect with the ATI setup. I will save my comments though if that makes you and others happy.

 

I for one don't care who you are as long as you post the truth. I think who ever you are, you have always been honest with us so you are welcome.

I appreciate any info that is going to help me go faster and at the same time keep my car safe.

 

He always provides useful info, opinions and is willing to try things other people cringe at. Let's let it go and move on.

 

OK bottom line "ATI"

what should we do to insure we don't have any engine problems ?

you are the experts ..... so if we don't change the initial setting of the FMU, don't mod our car so it gets any additional boost, change our plugs even if we have less then 10,000 mile to the colder ones you recommend, disable our traction control so it never comes on, make sure that we only use the best gasoline available (in my case 93 octane, never hit the rev limitor (not sure that is possible), plus add a bunch of safety items ( please tell us which ones), and make sure the car is always going straight so that plenty of air enters the radiator ...... then and only then can we feel safe ???????

One of your customers who hasn't blown up yet.

 

the bottom line is don't go FI

 

Well, there's a right way to do it, and a wrong way to do it......we've seen some successes here on the forums

I think the burden is now on ATI to either provide a source of timing control, or to buy the faulty kits back

 

uhhh huh! sure....

 

You may be waiting a long time for that... It's clear to me
that ATI thinks their kit is reliable (from their explanations)
as long as you:
- don't corner alot when under boost (for intercooler)
- don't feather the pedal (once on boost, stay on boost until you
are completely done or until your pants are soiled)

Best thing to do now, if you have the kit, is to address the
perceived problems yourself and move on. Even if retarding
timing under boost does nothing, at least it doesn't hurt.

The only thing I want ATI to follow through on is CARB
certification, because that I cannot do...
ATI... where are you?

thanks,
rob

 

Yet none of this was highlighted in any of their ads for this kit........to say "after the fact" that this kit can only be used gingerly was a misrepresentation on their part, and needs to be reconciled somehow.......a PR statement is simply not enough to make them no longer responsible.......granted, i can take the kit off of my car and be out $5K, but if ATI persists in doing nothing except tell people not to drive their sports cars like sports cars, they will eventually be dealt with by the powers that be, and will probably lose a lot more than a measly $5K

 

I have to say....I've been trying to keep people from jumping to conclusions and bashing ATI for no reason. But, the above quoted recommendation is, to be blunt, ridiculous. How can you expect that someone is going to drive their car at WOT constantly any time they start to get into the boost? If ATI knew that their tuning solution in conjuction with the stock ecu would cause problems when modulating the throttle, then I'd have to say that ATI is at fault on this point. I don't care what kind of racing or driving you do, throttle modulation is a part of driving the car. I just can't see the logic in this statement made by ATI. So, do ATI kits for other applications have this problem too? I'm beginning to lose faith ATI. I don't have all the facts needed to make a judgement right now, but statements like this can definitely sway me to the side you don't want me to be on....

 

they say tech help is only a phone call away ,,,,,,,,,

however after two 15 minutes on hold only to finally get a voice box and then waiting all day for the promised return of call is not what I concider help

 

Let me ask you all this since I have no idea. When the other SC's that are on the horizon come out, will they too have the same recommendations? (don't drift, don't use traction control, don't hit rev limiter). I would think that the new SC's are going to make the same recommendations would they not?

 

that's still uncertain....if the injectors cut off completely when they go into rev limiter or VDC mode, then everything should be fine.....even on this kit.......as far as drifting goes, they can recommend upgraded parts as ATI has recently done........but i will be surprised if any of these future superchargers suggest that "rapid use of the throttle" should be avoided.......that would just make it straight-up useless and impractical, and kill sales right from the start
