i got my car back UNTUNED a week ago, and it has been in storage since them(as always). Yesterday i then took it out and got it tuned for 7 PSI, and the guy gave it back to me and said the turbo is WAYYYY too big for the motor, and it has a VERY BIG LAG, but it still pulls at higher RPM. it starts to spool at about 4000-4700, at about 5000-5200 it hits full boost. and it pulls all the way to redline, you can tell the turbo is hardly doing any work.


i am actually thinking about getting rid of this turbo and getting a smaller turbo, so i can have the low end pull.

it is not dynoed yet, but i am sure it is UP there, i raced a RSX type S, with exhaust and intake and i beat him, but he had me GOOD in first and second gear, then in third i was hitting full boost, and smoked him.

What engine and have u worked the head?I think its waaay to big.

on a b16, that is kind of big.........

chingro

it's a B16A motor

it's good that i can take long trips without hitting boost, but for racing, it sucks off the line, sometimes it feels like the car wants to stall off the line.

dont get me wrong, it pulls mad hard when boost kicks in, BUT i just wish it was pulling hard on the lowend, rather than the high midrange/ top end.

yeah expect more of that with that big *** turbo
