Engine
d16z6
vitara pistons
FJ h beam rods

Turbo set up
T3 50 trim
0.9bar wastegate spring
front mount intercooler
tuned on eCtune

I was expecting the turbo would spool a lot quicker than it does..

any idea why the turbo would spool so slow?

What are you using for exhaust manifold and what size down pipe and exhaust.

 

2.5" exhaust

cast iron manifold

 

whats the exhaust A/R on the turbo?

 

.48 a/r

 

Do you have a picture of your turbo?

Id like to see how big it is compared to mine, Im not familiar with this 50 trim a/r .48 stuff. I have a similar motor setup as you though.

.42 a/r cold side .48 a/r hot side

 

Sweet! mines about the same size... i hope i make the same power!

Should be running in the next couple days here...

 

if i change the cam timing will i need to retune my car?

 

check for boost leaks, or at least leaks between the motor and the turbine housing.

although it comes on a little late, your motor did make good power

 

I had a very restrictive exhaust on the car.

to make a long story short, I thought it was a 2.5" inch. but at one place it was as small as 1.75 and at the axle it was 2.25..
