lol, obviously... like I said, it depends on the attitude and composure of the driver.

Advice? Make sure you specify EVERYTHING on the turbo that will suit your power goals, meaning don't just say "Yeah I want a GT3076R Y0!" I find too many people do this and fail to realize that they are only telling what size cartridge without turbine/compressor A/R specs or including housing sizes for that matter, which mean a world of difference btwn hitting 300something or 400something. Also, make sure you get a tuner who knows what he is doing and is comfortable/experienced in tuning with w/e EMS system you are using and preferrably has experience with the F22C motors, esp b/c they respond to F/I somewhat differently than the AP1s do. Tell him what kind of power and tune you are wanting for the result and ask him how he plans on making that work. Lastly, this is just my pet peeve, but DON'T leave until you see a dynochart.

 

just curious what other mods you have supporting the turbo. i am also inline pro turbocharged and i am pushing 455whp at 15psi. although my car was on a dynapak dyno which tends to read a little higher i am roughly around where your car is at 5 psi less.

 

Congrats on being 455whp @ 15psi. What turbo and injectors are you running?

I am running 675cc injectors and a T04B compressor housing (.70 a/r) with a 3076r cartridge and a T03B turbine housing (.82 a/r). My guess is that you are running a straight up GT35R w/ .82 A/R to be making that power.

The limiting factor in my setup, next to my injectors would be my turbine housing size, it needs to be bigger to be more efficient and thus make more power. I'm sure if I stepped it up to a T04B I'd be pusing 470whp on 850-880cc injectors no problem. Sigh...if only I would have studied up on it before.

 

ok, thats still awesome though, i was just curious. i am still learning about turbo sizing myself. i am running the gt35r with a .60 a/r housing but i am not sure about the hot side. i am running 880cc injectors

 

Good kill - I beat one of these new GT's as well. Some dude in a black one was pacing me and I didn't even want to race as my girlfriend and I were on our way to meet some friends for drinks. I was maybe around 30mph in 3rd gear - so nowhere NEAR my powerband.

This guy kept trying to get me to run, so I thought 'what the hell' and just floored it. I didn't bother downshifting or brakeboosting, just mashed the throttle. He got a little fender's jump until my turbo spooled, and at this time my car jumped 2-3 cars in front of him and I let off and just smiled. My girlfriend was screaming at me too because she hates my turbo
