1G NLTS settings

[awdmonster1904]

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

Nobody?

I run mine at 6k also. The biggest thing is remembering to keep your foot all the way down .

I have mine set at 6K as well with a HX40.

Wow I misread that. NLTS, I shift at 8.5k rpm and have the NLTS set at 6.5k. Goes into gear like butter.

It seems like 6k is the magic number has anyone tried to go 7k ?

I run it @ 7k, Frank.

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.

I will try some settings soon I'll post my results thank you guys

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.

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.

I will be changing it like you said
