Testing for the FITT transmission tuning challenge help at Grand valley east.
Track grip set to real, ABS 1 all other AID off.
Base lap with stock 5 gear transmission 1:07.184
Bonus lap stock FCT S set to 290 km/h 1:07.027
All transmissions tested with the stock 5 speed transmission ghost loaded at the start of each set of laps, all tunes got 10 laps or till I felt I have gotten all I’m going to get from the transmission. Difference is to the 5 speed transmission.
@Otaliema Tune here
Lap time;1:05.713 DC;7.9 Difference;-1.0471
Impressions; This was a quick transmission, as fast as MrGrado’s but a little quicker on the uptake at the low end, this also made the car a bit twitchy and I had several good laps go out the window because of this. In hindsight I made 2nd too short and 6th a tad too long.
@DaBomm4 Tune here
Lap time;1:06.586 DC; 9.0 Difference;-0.598
Impressions; Good pull out of the low speed turns, good acceleration at top end, didn’t upset the balance of the car in the chicane or at the tunnel. Well done.
@Lionheart2113 Tune here
Lap time;1:06.765 DC;7.5 Difference;-0.419
Impressions; Solid transmission with great acceleration but the limited top speed hurt it on the start finish straight, being about 12 km/h slower than the stock transmission meant I was playing catch up till the tunnel where the acceleration at low end made up for it. I lost about 0.300 seconds of my lead from the tunnel to the start finish line because the acceleration just came to a grinding halt at 220 km/h and slowly crept to 226. A longer 6th gear would have made this one of the fastest transmissions.
@Bowtie-muscle Tune here
Lap time;1:06.752 DC;8.5 Difference;-0.432
Impressions;Well rounded and balanced transmission didn’t accel at anyone place but didn’t suffer much either, was a little short on the top speed another 0.020 longer on 6th would have helped it get that last 5 km/h it was missing from the fastest transmissions.
@MrGrado Tune here
Lap time; 1:06.175 DC;9.9 Difference; -1.009
Impressions; Fantastic balanced transmission, would hold the car steady, didn't over power the rear handled the hairpin like a champ and allowed the car to take the chicanes at pretty high clip. I hit the highest speed with this transmission at 239 km/h consistently and 240 once. Very well done.
