Do you know at which rpm/torque threshold xHP already cuts the ignition when using their stage 3 map (so without using the ignition cut option actively)?
I know you said you don’t recommend the Vargas GC+, however I am going to be the first test car for VTT factory EWG turbo kit for B58TU with the Vargas GC+. Lets see if it makes a big difference in spool and we will be able to get more data on that turbo. This will be paired with a 3” exhaust with dump to atmosphere for the EWG. Fueling with Dorch HPFP and S58 injectors
I’ve got a custom Sutphin tune, and I just enabled the ignition shift cuts. I’m going to take it for a drive in a little bit. I can report back and let y’all know if it just changes the ignition cuts, or everything.
@@Superb_Owl80 so if I’m “fbo” stock turbo he gives me an ots stock turbo trans tune like xhp ? And if I’m hybrid he gives me an ots trans tune that supports the hybrid ? Same with a full frame ? Doesn’t sound specifically custom to my personal car more like custom towards which turbo is attached to my car..
Would you prefer ignition cut or torque reduction on upshift to prevent the clutch from slipping in my Supra? More specifically the 5th to 6th gear is the weakest on this car and that's when it is the most likely to slip.
@kern417 Hey bud quick question. I just picked up my Sutphin custom tune... When you flashed yours, did you also flash any custom tune settings? I have a few custom settings and wasn't sure if I should just turn everything off and flash without customizations in place.
@@kern417Yea after testing It is a lot slower than negative torque reduction upshift but some people just like the hard shift feeling but me personally its just not fast enough for me im a competitive racer and chasing times
I have a 540i tuned on Stage 2 with MHD. I just daily drive it but i also like to push it. Should I get xhp to protect the transmission or its not needed?
it doesn't protect the transmission but it does improve performance and give some nice features. i recommend it for anyone that enjoys driving their car.
@@kern417 Thanks for the response! One more thing, Im currently on 93 but I want to go E30 or E85 for more performance. I have a 2017 gen 1 b58. Do you recommend I buy the TU pump for ethanol or will it not make a crazy difference?
@@ZaidAbujumaiza if you dont plan on going with a turbo upgrade in the future then you can do the tu pump. im going to be doing dorch stage 2 pump which can let me do e50 blend for most power on stock turbo. and when i want to upgrade to hybrid i have the proper fueling system.
hi kern, i’m battling an issue that no one can seem to help me with. when i got my car i started on bm3, i later got a sutphin trans tune and the car always felt great. i recently switched to mhd and i have all torque limiters in mhd turned off, but every time i shift my car gives me the torque limiter 131072. im not sure if this is because it is colder now and i have only experienced mhd in sub 50 degree weather or what. any input would be nice! i’ve talked to mhd, fabian at pureboost, and rod.
@@kern417 in the email rod sent me he said to disable, he said that bm3 already has all declared torque limiters turned off and that by clicking that box on mhd it removes the limitations between the trans and engine.
Hi Kern, thanks for the video! Quick xhp question, I know when you first flash xhp you should take it easy for a day or so to break things in. But when i flash from a stage 1 to 2 or if i mess with the extra settings, do i have wait again to beat on the car or is it just the first time around? Thanks!!
So is the 221 ft-lb the stock setting for this by default? If you change the RPM, should the amount of torque also be increased/decreased? Just curious how the torque number, specifically, will affect shifts.
Torque is about how much power the engine is putting out. If you floor it at low rpm, the torque will be higher than cruising at high rpm. So you have to balance both.
Hey kern I have question how much hp do you think I’m at so I’m stage 2 XHp with upgraded turbo which is DAW flow max 2.5 + with a 91 tune from Doug newton , just finished tuning now abouta do a E tune !soon
I prefer firmer shifts to increase longevity of the transmission. It has nothing to do with liking or disliking the “feel” bro. A firm shift decreases engagement time which reduces the slipping time during gear changes which therefore reduces wear. Transmissions are designed today to eliminate any customer perception that a gear change has taken place. Many people incorrectly associate firm shifts with a problem. It’s in fact quite the opposite. The torque reduction up shifts feature has no impact when lightly cruising around town. You are feeling the extra line pressure. This is what you want if you have done power mods. A smooth shifting transmission connected to a high horsepower engine is going to burn up synchros and clutches much faster.
Firmer shifts do not extend transmission life the same way power shifting does not extend a manual transmission. Smooth engagement is better for everything including the clutches, gears, driveshaft, diff, and axles. Harsh shifts are a necessity for high horsepower and don't belong where they aren't needed.
@@kern417 Which settings specifically that change shifts you wouldn't change? Your videos are very informative and helpful brother, so thanks for your time and knowledge

Well after the quick drive, I can’t tell if it’s “farting” or not. I’m guessing it’s not. No big deal, as the Sutphin tune is awesome to begin with 👍🏻
@@Superb_Owl80same with me. i have rod sutphin tune and ignition cut removed all the farting sounds lol
Are they actual custom tunes for your car or are they just maps he gives you kinda like an ots tune lol
@@F30caleb they’re customized to your specifications. You talk directly with Rod Sutphin, and he gives you what you want.
@@Superb_Owl80 so if I’m “fbo” stock turbo he gives me an ots stock turbo trans tune like xhp ? And if I’m hybrid he gives me an ots trans tune that supports the hybrid ? Same with a full frame ?

Could you provide some info about the xDelete? The risks for the zf8 etc….

Just reduce torque for 6th gear in your DME tune
Thanks kern ❗️❗️✊🏾
It sounds so good though, I have a sound clip on my channel in shorts
Nice video, well said.

I think the only setting I have turned on is to make the gear display show in drive mode.
Flashed it immediately works well. Prefer it over torque reduction upshift option.
Why? Shift feel or something else?
@@kern417Yea after testing It is a lot slower than negative torque reduction upshift but some people just like the hard shift feeling but me personally its just not fast enough for me im a competitive racer and chasing times
@@stockdemon_ adjusting ignition cut is not going to affect performance when racing
@@kern417facts and even when driving at medium throttle with all the other settings at default it still isn’t consistent
@@stockdemon_ yeah just not something I'm interested in
I have stage 2 xhp on my gen 2 b58 but I don't know how to turn off ignition cut. Any ideas? there is no off button just sliders
Is there any way to reset all the settings in xhp to default?

TU pump makes a noticeable difference but you can run e30 on stock pump too

Try flashing transmission back to stock then reflash
do not disable torque limiters in mhd. it specifically says only use that function if your tuner tells you too.
@@kern417 in the email rod sent me he said to disable, he said that bm3 already has all declared torque limiters turned off and that by clicking that box on mhd it removes the limitations between the trans and engine.
@rileyhagler1373 the trans tune can do that without checking the box. It's for people that don't have xhp.
