kinetic ****** focker!

270 ft pounds of tq at 4500 rpms motha *****'..... I shift fast enough to where i dontloose boost for ----. Even with the f series tranny;s longer gears, I rip through them, even in the heavy cd5.

inertia, ------- less rotating mass= through the gears quicker. Period.

I used a 8 lbs fidanza aluminum one for 3 years with no problem in spool up time or rpms dropping off fast, I love it until I fried my clutch and the clutch took the flywheel with it, the chunks that came off the clutch scarred up the aluminum parts of the flywheel, it has replaceable friction surface so its resusable but it might be warped also new factory clutch slips like hell.
ALUMINUM SUCKS!
so I ordered an Exedy 9 llbs chromoly

what f/w is best for a laggy set up between my 14b turbo, small 1.5 engine, huge intercooler, and big manifold ports i have lots of lag. how many lbs is considered light, medium, heavy

bigdaddyvtec

Why noit get asn intercooler applicable for your setup, id try some smaller chargepipe tubing on the hot side as well.... you can also help your turbo spool quicker by keeping latent heat in the manifold...i.e ceramic coating your manifold, these things in addition to making sure you have NO exhuast leaks will help cut down spool time..,. Just the ceramic coating cut mine down 3-500rpms..... Oh ya what size dp/exhuast? that can affect spool too.

Just fyi, not flaming

just stop theres too many people in here giving false info and the thread is plauged with bullshit! how the ---- is a 14b laggy? i don't think so; thats a tiny *** ******** size turbo. ditch the huge intercooler because all you need is a cca 6" fmic. thats probably the problem

my cp/dp/exhuast is all 2.5'' one rez and a blitz muffler. my inter cooler is 22'' X 9'' X 3'' core. ill wrap my manifold and im in the midel of making a duct to blow cold air on to my filter. iv been told that with a biger intercooler i can run more psi safley and it will make my engine last longer. im curently running 9-10 psi

91efate

that intercooler is wayyyy too big for your setup i don't care if you were running 20psi on that pathetic snail. the setup is overkill. all you need is like 20x6x2.5 with 2" inlets and chargepiping. you're problably experiencing a 6psi drop with all that volume to fill and even at its peak output the turbo doesn't produce enough cfm to compensate.

the turbo is too small to be laggy, strange, definately a intercooler/charge pipe issue. even though I went from a 6"X3"x36" tube&fin intercooler to a 10.5"x4"x34"bar& plate intercooler with a sc61 on a ls/vtec at the same psi on both intercooler, and I did not notice any drop in psi or spoolup time. so I guess it depends on the size turbo and intercooler, I will see if change in weight of my flywheel will do anything, I dont know if it will be noticeable since I am going from 8lbs to 9.75 lbs, should change nothing.

and for the original poster, please dont use that underdrive pulley, its bad! really bad! I am not talking from what I read on the forums, I am talking from experience, my b16 block is sitting on the engine stand waiting for new main bearings, after 7000 miles, while using a lightweight pulley. oil pressure dropped from 75 to 50 to 25 to 0 psi, replaced oil pump, still zero, checked main bearings they are worn bad.
