ok i have a t3/t4 turbo and im fed up with it. its a decent turbo and all but i want boost through all my gears and i dont even get full boost until third gear. so i dont know if there is something wrong or it is just to big. i was wondering if the turbos off the 1g eclipse would bolt right on to a t3/t4 manifold?

 

why not try something like the nlr 4 stage boost controler, should solve your problem!

 

whats that gonna do?

 

allows you to have boost in stages

 

what do u mean by stages? and is it gonna let me have full boost through all my gears plus spool up faster..

No, a 14B has a mitsu style exhaust flange which is different from a T3.

 

Going from a full garrett spec turbo to a Mitsubishi turbo is a big step backwards..

What kinda motor u got and what specs are the turbo???

Also, a mitsu turbine housing will not bolt up to a T3 or T4 flanged manifold. U will need some kinda adapter if one is even made???

 

specs are 57/ 63 and the main reason is becuase i dont get full boost almost 3500 and i dont get any boost at all through first and second gear? and i have a crx with an ls swap. with a clutch aem fuel rail skunk2 intake manny, underdrive pully and some other bolt ons

your not getting any boost in second gear at all??
Thats weird on a 57trim...

Getting boost at 3500RPM on the otherhand isnt a bad thing since u do have FWD.

 

well i dont get any boost at all in first in second im only getting like 1 maybe 2 pounds and thats only if im giving it almost full throttle...do u guys know if i might have hooked something up wrong?

 

adjusted and tune correctly you should be able to get boost in all gears, btw what engine managemnet do you have b/c not geeting any boost until 3rd is crazy?

 

on a base t3/t4 on an ls turbo if you dont have boost at all in 1st and 2nd, you have a problem, and its not a turbo that is too big.

 

well it might be that it isnt tuned yet but im getting an afc controller...injectors and tuned like right after christmas&gt;

 

Check for leaks, that is rediculous. That turbo should def hit some decent boost at least by second gear....and downgrading to a 14b would suck. That turbo would be so inefficient on the ls.

 

so do u think i should run all new hoses? or do u mean exaust leak&gt;?

 

you have somethine wrong. exhaust leaks, IC piping leaks, yeah...look over your setup.

 

Check your wastegate as well. make sure its tighted down etc, escaping hp sucks!

 

not to say your dumb, but is it spinning. when they spin there is no load so usualy no boost.

 

well alot of the hoses i used were kinda old and thats what i was thinking.

 

is what spinning?

 

the turbine is

 

something must be wrong...definetly need a tune also...im using a similar turbo(54 trim) with an itr tranny and im getting pretty good boost...first gear goes by real fast with some boost, second i see full boost at higher rpms...make sure you have no leak like mentioned....is your bov going off normally, i mean regular driving conditions?

 

no it doesnt really blow off unless im giving it full throttle. and it isnt very loud i can hardly hear it

 

well i have a t3/T4 50 trim on my stock b16 with stock injectors and and a fmu/afc for tuning and im hitting full boost thru all gears. 1st goes by very fast and 2nd and third are where the wheelspin slows down to graba little traction. So there is def a prob somewhere within your setup.

Id suggest a tune and a lot of replaceing of hose. Hoses are cheap so it may just be a bad one. GL
