nice

HiProfile

lol, 4bar but he got a huge turbo and tuned to 9psi?

If the EMS can handle >11 psi, and a smaller turbo can make the same peak numbers PLUS more torque...hell why do I bother any more. Pat him on the back for me and pretend I said "good job".


In for actual track numbers.

kyden

thats a pretty big turbo for a stock motor..

blackeg

aspirations are high with that snail. who knows maybe the car will get a built motor soon...

i clicked to see on what turbo .. and after i learned that its a gt37, all I said is "Why ??" .. where is the dyno graph ? .. that turbo is nowhere near the right size you should be using for 325whp .. what were you guys thinking ?

micagreyeg6

he bought everything as a kit and didnt feel like buying another turbo since he had one already. i recommended that he should try to find a smaller turbo but he bought the kit used it was on a hatch that ran a 10.4 so thats why the turbo isnt really for the setup. but not to bad for now. he has plans of getting a motor built over the winter. i will try and get dyno graphs from him to throw on here. thanks guys

This car will be a great street car with a smaller turbo!

golf-mk3

it will be even better if it got a built block and some head work

blackeg

it would be even better if he got it sleeved, bored out to 85 mm, ran c16 or vp import and 50 psi with some miller cams....

fact is you cant think like that or you will never be happy or able to put 5 bucks in the bank

more response aka lower boost thresh hold will make it more streetable, but 325whp is aweful fun on the street. ive whooped *** on many 450+ hp cars on the street in my civic when it was set on 350hp 12 psi boost pressure. its all about power to weight and being able to put the power down

I have a turbonetics T3/T4 kit on a block thats set up for 500hp plus. Still not happy w/ it. Problem isnt getting to top speed. Problem is, OK Im at top speed...... now what? Any suggestion on gearing? currently have a stock gsr tranny with a helical LSD.

HamiltonRex

Power sounds fine... Go floor it. The 37r is a nice turbo, I seen a 2g talon go 9.0 on a 35r no spray, and its been 8.9.

94VTEC2TONE

get longer gearing or atleast a longer 4th 5th mite help. can also drop the FD lower to help get top speed higher

E85B18

I dont understand what the problem is. What are you trying to do at "top speed"

BOosteDteggY420

holy sh@t thats nice numbers. thats a pretty big turbo.. i say sleeve the r and built it and ull be fine

thegatekeeper14

yes it is perfevt, i miss my 323 hp b17 it was fun and not to much.

now at over 500 its just crazy

Cimburke23

LOL, top speed? so ur doing like 150+mph on the street? cool dude

EFPhilly

I have basically the same turbo (precision t3/t67 .83 H.s.) making a little more power on a built bottom end and 8 psi. I love the big turbo though, spools nice and beats the crap out of smaller turbos in the top end. Big turbos FTW...

Valjoker

I guess I failed to mention top speed is about 120-128 mph

Valjoker

Umm no never on the street. Mostly highway driving where Im at, so thats where I generally go fast. Im not looking to kill anybody so Id never open it up like that on the street.

Cimburke23

so the highway isnt the street? new to me. a stock integra will go 120mph, you must be doing something wrong if thats all you can do with a boosted car

my sentiments exactly.

346 @ 10 psi at the hubs on a t3/t4 57 trim .63 a/r on a 81.5mm c5 block with 9.1 mahle pistons. fun as hell on the street. turned it up a to 16 psi an made 404hp, 274tq at the hubs. little laggy on the bottom but screams on top like a monster.
