Alright guys i got a garrett with these stats 3" inlet, 2" outlet, .5AR (cold side) 3" v-band and T3 divided flange .83AR (hot side).....is there gonna be too much lag on a stock ls motor? or will this be perfect? I could do the math but i like the opinions from here better

I think its gonna be laggy, its a straight t4

cll77gen2teg

what rpm you think it would kick in

rudebwoy

I am no expert on this turbo, I never used one but I can guess about 5500rpm which I not bad in my opinion, cause I usually launched higher than that.

cll77gen2teg

even with the smaller cold side, i know the hot side is pretty big though....thats gonna be pretty late for it to kick in on a stock ls with a rev limit of 7200 dont ya think.....well maybe i can be ok with it, do ya think it will hit pretty hard?

rudebwoy

sell it and buy a smaller one, the cold side dont affect spool that much, its mainly the hot side, I am running a sc61 on a built ls/vtec and its a 63 a/r hot side, and its very laggy in normal driving condition, but it kicks in about 4300rpms and hit hard, but I havent put any raping into it yet since the motor havent broke,or tuned yet. just testing its also a brand new turbo so it needs some break in time.
so your turbo will feel like ---- untill it spools

So you think its gonna hit full boost at 5500 or just start?

rudebwoy

maybe, I never used that turbo before, a turbo like that is not practical for a street car, you would hate life, and if you ever driven a car with a smaller turbo the lag will feel even worst.

No i havent this is my first turbo project, man i thought it was a good one too, i mean i thought it was a little big, but that I would be able to work with it dang :P
