Hey guys,
I'm interested to see what people consider to be a reasonable power band; IE full boost ---> Redline, for a street car.
at the moment i make fullboost at 5.2k or a touch later and pull all the way to redline (8k), this is in a built 32 GT-R with 33 N1 turbos.
Although I already knew this was rather laggy, It was driven home to me when i was given the opportunity to drive a mates 32 with GT-SS's, the response was phenomenal.
As many of you may have seen, I have been deciding which way to go with turbo's at the moment, wanting to keep the twins configuration and the standard manifold as mine has been cleaned up i have a few options available to me.
I have decided I would not want to go smaller then the output of a pair of -5's, but it seems my knowledge of what's available is lacking, as I detect a bit of a gap in the range between -5's and -10's or GT-RS's.
Sorry for the long and convoluted wind up but my main points are this:
What is an acceptable power band for a street driven track car ?
Is there a turbo that is above the -5 and below the GT-RS/-10 ?
Would -10's/GT-RS's be too laggy or surge in my application ?
I've gotten in trouble for not posting enough detail before so the car is:
2.7L or nigh on, not a stroker.
33 N1 turbos
Built engine
light headwork
portmatched inlet manifold
trust 4" intercooler
264" Inlet and 272" Exhaust camshafts both with 10mm lift (HKS)
4" Exhaust.
Cheers,
Mitch.
