Testing is a continual process for us here at LMS. So this morning started out with us firing up our all-wheel and rolling in the RS. We wanted to do e testing. With the amazing local weather today our testing with e30 (might be closer to 35 to be specific) yielded some pretty cool stats!



As you can see above, the fuel pumps seem to be okay. AT THIS POINT, everything is good, but this is with today's temps ~81°. This will not be so as the temps dip, or in our case nose dive in a few weeks. The thing to remember is that the EB platforms are not particularly happy trying to keep up with the 138% VS pump gas. And this is why we do not recommend relying upon any e mix that is above and beyond the normal e10 that we are sold.



Obviously something that is also insanely important would be knock. Good news here as well! Knock seems to be good. So good in fact that the car allows for an additional 4° down low, and also an additional 1-2° up towards the top of the powerband!

What did today produce? Our impromptu tuning session resulted in a peak gain of 19whp and 20wtq ABOVE OUR 93 PERFORMANCE TUNING which is already the most powerful tuning around!

@Livernois Motorsports: Any thoughts on potential numbers with some of the common bolt-on mods? Also, any concerns when it comes to limitations of the AWD system? I read somewhere that the AWD system might be pretty close to being maxed out with stock output. Keep up the great work and keep us posted!

Thanks for following!

We are not ready to talk about the parts that we have in dev currently. Not yet.

Even with all of the time that we have spent on the dyno, streets and road courses we have not had any indications that the AWD system is in any type of danger of failure.

I suspect the new RDU is at least as beefy as the current JTEKT and hopeful it shows up in other models as well. It really doesn't make sense to develop to integrate a new one for a single low production vehicle. The beauty of the Jtekt was that it could be used in virtually any transverse application from mild to wild.

Is the PTU different as well?

I'd like to hear your feedback on driving dynamics vs the current jtekt with E-diff. When not in the performance modes does it really feel much different?
