How long "should" you wait between pulls?


Recommended Posts

Just wondering how long most of ya wait between pulls when you take your car out for a spirited drive?

 

I was only thinking about this the other day when I did about 8 back to back pulls with only maybe 10 seconds between them and since car has been retuned it feels like it flies. I thought that our cars would be able to handle this no problem but was doing some research and some people were saying to wait longer as doing back to back pulls lead to higher intake temps and heat soak and eventually detonation? I assume the vehicle would pull timing if it started to detonate from heat soak etc?

 

So yeah, if you do decide to go for a spirited drive, how long between pulls should you wait?

 

Or is doing the consecutive pulls fine as long as it is not all the time haha. I only do that once a week or so.

However far apart the traffic lights are is the correct answer 😄

 

Nah I'm sure someone has done some data logging on this for how long IATs get back to normal but I wouldn't worry about it. If it feels slow then it's heat soaked and you can tell.

If it's not overheating, keep up the beating.

 

Haha I love that! Yeah this new tune really opened up the car. I had a custom retune done on stock exhaust in February.

 

I just had a turboback exhaust and retune done and even though I gained no torque and only 10hp, the car just FEELs so much more responsive it is crazy! The exhaust just sounds, feels and responds so much nicer with the higher flow cat in there now.

 

I am only at 257whp and it feels so damn fun!

Ah sweet! So if it was still hitting max boost and pulling hard then IATs would have been fine and engine would be all good?

 

So basically, you'd know if it was heat soaked as power would diminish??

 

I was doing these pulls at night in cold temperature. I love doing that as the cold air really makes the car perform even better compared to a hot day haha.

I feel much more heatsoak after sitting in slow traffic than after pulls. With pulls at least there is decent airflow though the intercooler.

Heat soak is mostly just annoying because it feels slower than normal. Your just getting less boost due to higher temps. If the motor ist happy it has ways of dealing with it such as pulling timing. 

 

They always feel great on a cool winters night haha.

Haha yeah I think I experienced heat soak once. It was a super hot day and had been in bumper bumper traffic for ages. I then went to do a pull (stupidly it was early days of owning the car), and I was barely hitting 6 psi. I got such a fright but went home, let car cool down, drove again an it was fine :).

 

Sweet thanks man I was just wanting to make sure I was looking after the engine as it has done 210,000km hehe. From now on I'll definintely wait around 30 seconds between pulls. I may even get an IAT sensr/gauge installed post intercooler so I can monitor intake temps :).

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
