What's mods have you got fitted? As that's reasonable gains especially in normal mode

 

Dynamic allows slightly more overboost and a more aggrssive tip in (throttle presponse) I wouldn't be that bothered either way.

 

Ive very little understanding of the changes between the DNA settings but assumed that if it ran on the RR in normal it would give different results to dynamic?

 

bhp would most likely be the same - but torque figure would been higher and possibly the boost would of been different, not really likely to find out those figures tho which is a shame

 

Pull the ABS fuse out... You won't be able to engage dynamic then but at least traction control won't keep kicking in...

I had the Abarth SS on a Dyno and it made 136bhp at the wheels with TC kicking in. Was only told later to pull the ABS fuse... So will go back and try again..

More than decent figures for the MQV tho...

 

all system disengage after front wheels been rotating a minute anyway on the mito, so no need to pull any fuse or disconnect anything but then kicks it into normal which sucks .

thats why after he tried to go straight into ecu and bypass it , as soon as he went into it and disabled assist it still chucks it into normal.

so theres no real way to get it to do it in dynamic unless you can find a RR where all the rear rollers match the speed of front rollers ( do they exist? )

but yea decent figures anyway made a MK V R32 golf look silly

 

Put the mito on the dyno yesterday -

had the usual issue of not being able to get it to stay in dynamic mode - they even tried bypassing the ecu but it still kept kicking it into normal

so results in normal mode was 188.8 bhp and 196.4 lbft - very pleased with this as in dynamic must be looking at around 210 lbft?

graph:

What mods have you go on the car?

 

+1 must feel like a little rocket with nearly 190bhp

 

NoStill nothing to drive the rear wheels.(some 4 w dynos are made that have the second set of rollers driven by the other two,but hardly any about)

 

Now I understand. Bit of a shame really. Id like to know what the car is as it stands now, completely standard

quick video of my mito using my mates new gopro

didnt want to make another thread

 

Sounded great with headphones on. Lots of funny noises. So, are you going to let us know what secret mods you've done? What exhaust is that?

 

Lowered the mito yesterday on eibachs - will get better photos when clean

 

Looking good :thumbs::thumbs:

 

That looks great :thumbs: been looking into maybe lowering mine over the last week or 2 and wasn't sure whether to do it or not, even more tempted to do it now after seeing yours

 

Cheers

Just do it , ride is a little firmer but feels so much more stable and planted through corners and looks much better ( ideally this is how it should of come standard)

im just waiting on spacers now to get it sat more flush, a little to much tuck for my liking at mo

 

That's what i wanted to hear, without taking your thread off topic are there any problems with the active suspension? Im guessing there shouldn't be but would be worth knowing if there was anything before i got it done .

I done a search but most of the threads were people *****ing with each other so not much help

 

Well ive had no lights show up or warnings ( touchwood )

i think only time u get problems is if u go below a certain height or u damage a sensor/cable

Me n mate fitted them with not much problems just odd size tools that seem to be needed to undo everything.

 

That's great, thanks :thumbs: i really like the alloys on mine & i really like the multispokes like you have so if i do lower it i may even change the alloys too. Just to give it a slightly difrent look so far though i've only seen a few that suit the MiTo so will have to see. Your MiTo sounds pretty good too :thumbs:

 

No problem it makes some interesting noises , bit loud for most but i love it

 

Just had another dyno today since having sports cat n induction

it managed 191.8 bhp n 198.6 fblt (in normal again)

Had to take fuse out this time as it wouldnt disable anything, bloody car...

Seem to be losing some boost low down compared to last time but higher up range is ok, so may have a small boost leak as i was expeting better gains.

 

What sports cat do you have? Is it the ragazzon? Must be over 200hp in Dynamic..

 

No its a one from who made custom exhaust.

Checked over all pipes n cant find no loose or damaged hoses so could of been the Y piece they used to take the boost pressure

 

As i said a few more pictures of the mito Lowered ( 30mm eibachs ) now clean

just in need of spacers now which im having custom made, just waiting on them

 

Fitted front upper n lower strut braces today few pics for ya

( can a nice admin change title of thread to something suitable my mito project or something a like Please )

front upper

Front lower

also fitted a cglock aswell ( these things are brill)

 

Nice! Noticed much difference? Where did you buy the strut braces?

 

Feels much better on turn in and more planted through the bend

I couldnt find any on a cloverleaf so thought I would give it a try

they was off ebay, sellers username was strutbracer I think

Ok thanks. I take it the engine cover doesn't fit underneath?

 

It fits back over fine , it bolts up level to another bar

I just took a pic without as u cant see it when cover is back on

 

I cant quite make it out from the pics, do you have to drill to fit the upper brace? or does it have somewhere to mount already?

 

Yes u have to drill

This should clear it up , I forgot uo upload it

Theres 2 self tappers each side then we have drilled an extra hole n put a bolt through
