Sport Display showing low TQ number

Kilabyte · 09-28-2020, 01:59 PM

Hey all, I noticed the car isn't pulling as hard as of late, today I opened the sport displays and at WOT I'm seeing 480hp but only 420tq. Mods that matter are open element intakes, BM3 stage 1, VRSF cooler since the OEM failed and an EQ midpipe.

I do have to change my pads but I don't think that warning would make the car pull power?

No codes.

Any thoughts?

TIA

I believe the "Sport Display" Info. means squat once you've modified ("BM3") your powertrain, unless
you somehow managed to recalibrate it.

Cheers!

Run it on a dyno to see what your real numbers are. I wouldn't go by that sport display for accuracy.

I know it's not accurate but the torque number used to show over 500.
The car feels like it's not always pulling as hard, just went for a drive and all was perfect again, I wonder what could be causing it. Plugs have less than 5k on them.

Last time the car felt similar was when the intercooler was leaking
