Hey how's it going

I would like to get some feedback and see what kind of settings for the lift to shift

What are the guys with a big turbos running for nlts

I currently have mine at 6k but I would like to get a second opinion


TIA
 
It ultimately comes down to what RPM your shifting at. If you look at your logs and your shift points, see where your RPMS drop to and that is a good starting point to set it. Then adjust as needed.
 
Frank, just a warning, running NLTS can create problems with your launch (at least it did for me). I did some research before setting up my NLTS, taking advice to set RPM to max torque which on my car was ~4.5k. I set NLTS at 4.5k and my launch (two step) was setup at 5k so as soon as I'd launch as I was slipping the clutch the clutchsw was showing closed (pedal down) which resulted in me going from two-step straight into NLTS so my RPM's would drop to 4.5k and stay there.

My fix was relocating my NLTS wiring into the clutch pedal switch (at the bottom of the pedal) rather than the cruise control switch (at the top). Doing this opens the clutch switch signal the instant the clutch pedal isn't bottomed out, having at the top of the clutch throw means the clutch pedal has to be completely at the top position before NLTS is no longer activated.

Hopefully that isn't confusing. :idontknow:

In the end, I had better results setting it to 7k (shifting at 8k) as far as maintaining boost between shifts. Off the top of my head I'm running 30psi and holding 20psi+ between shifts and 7k shifts and boost was dropping to ~15psi between shifts running NLTS at 4.5k.

It takes some testing to see where your setup likes it.
