16G spool time
 

just wanted to see when others spool a 16g to 10lbs
its on a z6, im pretty sure theres a leak pre- turbo, maybe in the charge pipe, but i doubt it. i barely reach a full 10lbs in first gear, in second its almost 5000, but when the wastegate opens it drop to around 6-7 then startes to build again. so i don't know what the ---- right now

Re: 16G spool time
 

You have pre-turbo exhaust leaks and probably more than one boost leak. Look for them.

My stock cam, fucked up mechanical/ignition timing d16a6 spool the small 16g at 10lbs by 3200 and it had boost leaks.




















ok

thats what i figured, i will check tonight.
thats what i get for trusting a friend to tighten all that ---- up, and then feeding them booze and smokin them out

Re: 16G spool time
 

wow
i built 13 psi in first gear trying to pass some one at 3/4 throttle 5-6k rpm

Re: 16G spool time
 

i build 15lbs by 2800, tdo4l madness

16g spools quick usually. Full boost by 3500-4k on most every 4-banger I've been in. Stock 1.6L Mitsu turbo motors came with really small turbos though, and 16g's are a bit laggy on them too. The 16g is actually a fairly good sized compressor wheel. Approaching small T4. I don't think 5k is all that far off on your Z6. Probably some exhaust leaks though, and maybe some flapper issues. Is it a genuine MHI unit?

Re: 16G spool time
 

nope, cdm. i know i have a leak where the downpipe reaches the cat, but i didnt think that would matter. i'll justt have to check all my ic pipes and mani to head, and mani to turbo connections.

Re: 16G spool time
 

I'd say the CDM part has something to do with the late spool too. They're not nearly as dialed in as a factory MHI turbo. Chinese thrust bushing and journal bearings ftmfl. Sell it to some knewb who's a 16g sackrider with a small wallet and put the proceeds towards a genuine unit.
