I have an idea......try to change the point of activation witha bleed valve of some kind.

yea that system works off vacuum right, so if we were ablt to control it and maybe get it to kick in at 3500 it would help, but i dunno if they made it like that to make it work great at 4000, but if i had that power off the line would be nice, but i am not alone on the power off the line right

If the ACIS is working right you shouldn't feel any kick.

What's your timing set at?

That's the ASIC's induction tuning working correctly, maybe it wasn't before?

If I'm not mistaken that infact means it's not working correctly...the activation is supposed to be gradual...the kick in the pants should be felt at 3400 rpm ruffly when the system isn't operating as it should. My car has never had it working so I get the kick also.

If I'm wrong I appolagize Ian but I remember a past thread talking about how the system would react under boost and I believe it was dub'd pointless....

I come from a land down under
Dunno Goon I wrote that a long time ago and have seen many discussions on it's actual operation but never anything concrete.

90% on NA dyno charts I've seen have had the spike at 4k so maybe they're all broken ;)

Mine wasn't guttless below 4k as some have described but had a noticable kick in the pants at 4200.

Yeah true but what makes me wonder is obviously shit don't fix itself and he notices a "kick" now....when the system doesn't work then you will indeed feel a significant powerband effect...he didn't notice this before.

Suppose it's different on everyones car but I'm just regurging info that I've read on the forum...I really have no honest clue...sorry for railroading.

i can feel mine kick in at 3500RPM when the car is cold but once it warms up i cant feel anything at all just smooth acceleration the whole way
