who cares....i mean so wat if u have to wait till 4k rpm for the boost...i mean its much better than us NA guyz having to wait for 6k rpm just for sum vtec...which isn't as crazy as turbo....right?? hehe just had to get this out my mind.... can't wait to get boosted

 

um ooooooook.

 

i wish my turbo even started to make power at 4000

 

brian, which engine/turbo/trim?

 

lol i wish mine was actually on my car....but then again i wish it made power past 4000 rpm...lol j/k

 

I dont know what turbo you guys are running, but I have a t3/t04b w/ a .48 a/r. anyway, i start making boost around 2500 or so. full by 3500. really doesn't seem that laggy to me. not like everyone always said it was gunna be??

 

.48 is an awesome spooler.

 

yeah, for the ls which ends at 6800 its really nice

 

F-MAX ..too bad their service level sux

 

yea, the fmax spools up quick especially in 2nd and 3rd gear where you get great power all the way to redline. 1st gear lags a little though. If you floor it you get full boost at about 4000 but then it screams to redline though especially if you set the vtec point up high like 5800. if you leave it where it is stock there is a big power dip at about 4800.

 

ive got the maxrev manifold a t3/t04e stage 3, .63 a/r, 57 trim turbine.. 2.5" straight downpipe and a apex'i silvia i/c on a b16a.. the problem is just that i ran out of money to build the motor so i can only run 8psi instead of the 20 that this setup is supposed to be using..

 

damn 20 psi.....i wouldve gone w/ 3in dp-piping... and your i/c may cause your lagging as well...ur only boosting 8....when u go higher the efficiency does too

 

gotta keep mah AC man, i live in houston so i had to go with 2.5" downpipe... i/c pipe is 2.25 in and 2.5 out. its not bad as long as i race people starting at 5000 rpm, only takes a half a second or so after i punch it to get full power

 

My turbo kicks in at 2800 RPM and makes full boost at like 4000 RPM Lag sucks, but when the turbo makes max boost,

 

i have a .48ar t3/t4 on my sohc, i start spooling around 2500 and have full boost, around 10psi, by 3200-3500rpm. Once vtec comes on in 1st gear the front tires just light up!! even on sticky tires and good pavement.

turbo lag sucks dude. Just really sucks. Getting the right size turbo for your car is soo important. Why would you only want a turbo that performed only above 4500? I get full boost by 3200-3500...awesome low end power. I can go up any hill in 5th gear without downshifting. Pass anybody on the freeway..without ever downshifting. Just floor it and spool...power. Its just soo much more fun to drive.

Try driving around a mitsu eclipse turbo....then you will understand why a quick spooling turbo kicks ***.

YES! Spooling fast is a big plus. That is why with my D16 I chose a T3 60 trim, with a .48 exhaust housing. I want to hit boost at about 2500 and hit full boost around 3300. If it is lower rpms, then great! Longer time in boost = more fun!!!!

 

i aint even trippen... i boost at 2000 and eventually start to feel the power by 2500. vtec schmeetec... i dont need it.

 

If you're talking about a stock Eclipse, one thing that sucks about that low spool, you think that all that low end *omphh* is good but once you go ***** to the wall you'll find out that the car doesn't have very much *omphh* at higher RPM's
