Whoa.
 
I just drove my bonnie for the second time after I got it...WHOA. I did the BCA optimization and made my stock airbox as free flowing as it will get and no muffler. I turned off my aunts road and floored it, it threw me back, I swear it jumped to 60 in about 6.9-7.0 seconds. Yes the road is 55 :lol: I can now hear the stock whine. :shock: :o I can't wait until I get my pulley, CAI, magnaflow cat, and a few other things.

Sorry, just new owner excitement. I feel like doing it again.

Bonneville92V688 06-05-2006 08:49 PM

Let's get this clear, did you bypass the boost control solonoid? By disconnecting the vacuum line? That's the boost bypass, and it's a bad idea.

Or did you simply adjust the BCA to get into boost quicker? It doesn't ADD power. It just gets you into boost slightly quicker.

Bonneville92V688 06-06-2006 08:21 AM

No I just adjusted the BCA. I would never block off any vacuum lines. :lol: It does seem to get int he boost quicker. It threw me back.

Ok, let's not call this the boost bypass trick. You are adjusting the boost bypass actuator, but not 'bypassing' the PCM's control of the boost (which is very dangerous, or potentially so).

I don't want people to misunderstand what you're talking about here. Call it the BCA (boost control Actuator) Optimization.

Excellent! :lol:

It's confusing sometimes.

Bonneville92V688 06-06-2006 12:02 PM

It was confusing me too. I read somewhere that the actuator was called a bypass, thats what confused me. So its all fixed now. :lol:
