G5 ISO weak compared to G4
Me and my friend both up graded our G4 boards to the new G5 ISO. We both got the same results... weaker pull. It is more smooth, ill give it that.. but its weaker. I cant break traction in 2nd gear anymore.. with the G4 I would. I can get logs later but as ive seen a few other people with this problem, as well as my friend... im wondering if the iso version isnt as good as we thought? I didnt change a thing on my car while going from g4 to g5 iso. I seen a thread in which someone had this issue and had luck when they went back to G5 NON ISO. Imt hinking about this route...

Hmm did it too yesterday and it feels real good to me but I did notice the 2nd did not break traction (as much as) when I had the G4 but that G5 is sick man I had an open road to auto tune and got wide open woo that's all I could say.

Same thing happened to me 2 years ago when the procede started running dynamic ignition correction. It smoothened the whole curve out, giving the impression of less power. It's just a feeling though, i doubt you actually lost power. If anything you gained a little..

I think when the new update comes it will feel better and we need to try and mess with the wastegate setting I see my gauge fall when it hits the target so I think it was just the auto tune working in

I'd do some datalogging and confirm you are running less boost by comparing to older logs, then increase the boost!

I don't have older logs. I'm just going off of the fuel gauge hijacking.

What is the boost graph compared from G4 to G5? Car should feel the same if the boost is the same unless ignition is less.
Do a before and after datalog and that will likely lead you to your answer. |

well with the G5 you can actually run more PSI (18 in race map up from 16.5) and you have more control but loosing traction doesnt mean your car is faster it means your PSI is starting too heavy.. in the G5 it has a great curve and reaches higher levels when you wont get wheelspin and tappers off well.. although in autotune it may need a few pulls to reconfig (it is a learning device)

Well the G5 ISO board is intended for higher horsepower cars so I'd try running some E-85 and try a few WOT's. I have virtually the same mods and when I upgraded to the G5 ISO I felt a huge increase in smoothness and power. I definitely don't have a problem with breaking my tires loose, more like trying to save the tread on my PSS's.

Terry replied and said "given the timing, the jb4 seems to be hitting its targets" so I'm left with no answer to why I lost power.
Who wants to trade their g5 for g5 ISO? My car no likeyyy |

You realize the G5 is fine, you need to do your due diligence here.... Find out what the CEL is for and fix that, first. You may be misfiring, or have a boost leak. |

Do you know what a boost leak is or a misfire? I'm trying to help but you clearly just dont want to think your G5 magically made your car slow when there can be systematic and logical approaches to figure out how. |
