i am sooooooooooooo undecided whether to go b18c1 or b18b turbo. I have always wanted the GSR, but now im reading up on some B18b turbo. i have no idea what i want to do. what do u guys think?

i ran turbo by one of my friends and he said something about turbo lag? wtf is that?

how hard is it to tune your car your self if u buy a turbo? is it more costly in the end?

 

what is turbo lag?

 

you can buy a dynojet and you can tune it yourself easily. here's the website to order one... http://www.dynojet.com

 

do you think dynojet will ship to my house? I might have room in my garage next to my moms pathfinder except ill probably have to park my car out side now

 

try out http://www.howstuffworks.com it will tell you how a turbo works, what turbo lag is etc, also compares a turbo to a supercharger and so on.

 

heh, anyone know how much those dyno machines cost?

 

I heard they were running a sale this month, free dynojets to honda-tech members.

 

my god!!!...this whole post belongs in the newbie forum....moderators, take it away!!

 

Lag is the time between when you hit the gas and a "rush" of power comes from spooling up the turbo. Superchargers have no "lag" because it is belt driven. Turbo is better. Your brave to ask this question, so I figured I would answer it for you.

 

can someone setup a group buy on dynos '=D

 

thanks man, i know i am a big time newbie, and that can be hella annoying, but im just a kid trying to get some answers so i can learn. thanks again.

 

I wouldn't worry about lag anyway. Lots of people make a big deal about it, but if you want to race or drive fast, you're going to keep your rpms up high anyway. Boost is almost instant.

The only thing you should worry about in the "lag" area is the size of the turbo. If it's too big for your application, it will never reach full boost.

 

turbo lag is when u tell art a joke and he doesn't get it till 3-4 seconeds later..

 

lag is more of a factor in road racing than it is in drag racing... but lag isnt a big deal until you start going crazy with the turbo, IC piping, and boost. with a "street kit" turbo set up you probably wont even notice lag.

 

i can get good prices on dynos, just PM me, I'll hook you up. If someone works for fedex, maybe you can hook us up on the shipping too. I think that will be the only limiting factor, these things are kinda big. Let me know guys.

 

hahahaha good one.

 

Lag is the period of time you spend in vacuum until the turbo puts you into above atmospheric pressure. Basically people get it confused like your running mad amounts of retarded timing--but its not. Pretty much just N/A until boost comes on.

 

Why you gotta bring up old ****?? hehe..

art

 

haha

 

Heh how much are those dynos anyhow? I'm holding the winning lotto ticket in my hand right now and once I win Imma buy one and you guys can tune at my house for free
