Hey guys and gals , I don't know what it is but my car 07 hr has been feeling like its bogged down , especially from take off at a stop , my mods are invidia Gemini exhaust ,art pipes and a uprev tune, spark plugs are new, I cleaned maf about two weeks ago, tires only have about 3K miles on them.

I decided to turn tsc off and the difference is day and night . Throttle response is better , take offs are smoother the car just feels totally different, I'm just curious as why my car does not feel this way with tsc on.


I know this is not all in my head lol. Any one else experiences this with their z. I would prefer to drive with tsc on like I always have but the difference with it off and on is just to great .

 

From a dead stop, you may be breaking traction a bit when you take off. TCS would step in to save from impending doom.

The harder you try to launch, the more it will fight you.

 

Thanks ,right I expect that from a stop , I know if I floor it the car is gonna bog and tsc will kick in .the car just started feeling like this about 2 weeks ago , when I got the spark plugs changed the car felt great , the way it feels when I have tsc off now . but now it just feels so sluggish with it on.

I did reset the ecu as well and drove more aggressive, hoping the ecu would adapt to my driving style before I started turning tsc off.

 

the tsc cuts power that might be your bog in power

 

Thanks , Went out tonight and car drove better with tsc on this time . It was cool outside . Maybe the car is experiencing heat soak during the day . I'll see how it drives tomorrow afternoon.
