Lazy Throttle Response

[star a]

hi, i am loving my is200 sport, but is there anyway to make the throttle more responsive, i.e. when blipping the throttle for downchanges. at the moment if i give the throttle a blip (in neutral, or clutch in) there's not an immediate response, theres only a fraction of a delay, but this makes it a bit vague when downchanging. otherwise the car runs great.

The IS has an electronic throttle, so you are going to get a slight delay when blipping during down gear changes.

The electronic throttle is programmed to smooth out sudden blips to help economy and emmisions. There is no real way to alter it's behaviour.

Mat, I've asked this question in another thread, but seeing as how you're reading this one...

What is a dual mass flywheel?

i had noticed that on upchanges, the engine holds it revs for a moment which does help smooth things out going up the box, but it does kinda isolate the driver a bit, never mind, eh.

there is a way to disable the fly by wire, i have been given the instructions, but as of yet havnt carried the modification out.

Lightweight flywheel would help...... Think the flywheel on the altezza is 12 bloomin` KG... would think that the is200 is about the same...

[Monster-Mat]

actually Scot a lightweight flywheel compounds the jerkyness that can be sometimes felt, a lightweight flywheel will inherintly uncover the unbalanced mass of the rest of the engine.

Nick Dual Mass Flywheels (DMF) acts as a shock dampener between the engine and the Transmission, the centre of the flywheel, the part bolted to the Crankshaft is isolated from the outer part of the flywheel, the part with the clutch attatched to, by either (wet) oil filled damper, or (dry) rubber damper.

Thanks for the explanation.

Yor Audi has one mate, there prone to leaking(wet) with total fail soon afterwards of the flywheel

I didn't know that. Oh well, that's quality German engineering for you!
