Poor responce in first gear.
Ok shoot me if I didnt search hard enoughf.
But why is the car so slugish or stockish in first gear.
Disapointing cause I cant do decent burn outs.
FOr some reason the car only seems to make power after geting into second.
Why dosent the turbo work well in first.
Other than NOS any ideas to boost power in first.
Even while racing other cars. The biger NA cars allways seem to get a better start its only after we change to 2nd that we start rolling them in.
We have RPM, We have boost but no power in first why.

Re: Poor responce in first gear.
i dont know about you but my ---- "kicked" in first gear . tell us your setup maybe we can figure something out from there. maybe your turbo is too big for your setup and your not even spoolin it up in first. cant really say much if you dont tell us what your setup is

Setup is 1.3 Ltr 4 Cylinder 8 valver.
Carbed setup runing 10 PSI. SOme days 14 PSI.
Very carefull not to abuse the clutch too much. Just replaced it and its not fun or cheap.
Turbo is the tricky bit. IHI RFB5 VI34 with a 24 AR.
Wasnt spining up. So we got a VI22 Exhaust housing with a 12 AR (Basiclly half the size). And pluged it on.
Spins up at 1000 RPM. Producing 2 PSI by 2000 RPM and 10 PSI by 4000 RPM.
She revs to 7500 RPM if pushed.

10 psi at 4 grand huh sounds right its got carbs holy crap what car are you working on, i sugjest you take your trans and have it rebuilt if it has a bunch of miles on it have them beef it up to make it last a bit longer, if all fails try to find a similar model to your car with the same drivetrain and see if you cant swap out a more potent drivetrain. thats just me i could be wrong lol
