ok, finished my t25 set up, and I'm running it at 8psi with afc and 450 on a d16z6, I don't reach 8 psi until like 4500 rpms, I thought it would spool up faster than that! Or is that what everyone elses runs like too?

 

u hit full boost at 4500, but u started to spool before that.

u are lucky, i hit full boost at 4700-5000

 

LARGER EXHAUST DIAMETER

 

When does boost kick in? Can you not feel it until 4500??

2g eclipses with exhaust really throw some boost @ 2500 rpm with that turbo.. are you the one who is running a factory cat?

 

are u using your stock exhaust?

 

full bost means when you hit max boost, it's depended on outdoor conditions and what gear your in, as-long with how much load etc etc.

 

Hitting full boost at 4500 is the most ideal place to get there if you ask me. On my accord when I had a small td04 on it would hit full boost at 2500 (which was cool but kind of a pain in the ***). It was almost impossible to stay out of boost while highway cruising which was not good . Your car will be a lot more fun and reliable where its at now.

 

I'm useing a greddy sp catback 2 1/4" and a racing high flow cat 2.5". I guess it's not that bad, I can stay out of boost pretty much all the time if I want. I can feel it start around 3500 rpms when it hits about 5psi and just gradually picks up from there then starts to drop off a little at the end. I don't have it tuned yet, so i'm taking it easy on it, onlly boosted it like 10 times or so. it's soooo adicting

 

That is kinda slow for that setup.. restrictions going on some place. Wait till final tuning, if you like your setup, keep it. I'm still all about kicking in that 2500 rpm rush - DSM style.
