Fmic And Lag

[PAV34]

What steps do you take to decrease lag after installing Front Mount Intercooler?

I have a Blitz LM Kit that im thinking of installing....

I have the following mods:

Turbotech BC set a 7 Psi

Full 3" S/S exhaust (Fujitsubo Cat Back)

Apexi Pod with heat Shield.

Would a tune be the simplest answer? What would need adjusting?

Mind you i dont have a Power FC or SAFC...

Thanks.

7psi? isnt that stock boost? or is that only stock boost for 32's?

why dont u bump up the boost to like 12psi?

[nuffsaid]

You might hit rich and retard after the install of the FMIC.

[PAV34]

Nuffsaid, what do you suggest??

[WogsRus]

get a gizzmo EBC, i get 12psi at 3000rpm, works a treat. still got some lag, but works dam faster then a bleed valve.

[PAV34]

yeah the bleed valve does take its bloody time....

stock boost in a 32 is 10 psi, 7 is for 33 and 34 i THINK

[32line]

stock psi is 10 on a 32????

u sure?

i dont think thats right.....hmmm....google! lol

edit: hmmm, cant find anything on google bout r32 gts-t's(no suprise ther).....i still belive stock psi for a 32gts-t is 7psi.

That is right and it's controlled by the wastegate actuator.

If you want less lag get a one or a combo of

Thinner FMIC - 60mm

3 inch split dump/front pipe

Metal Intake pipe

Supercharger

Second the split dump pipe, made a big difference for responsiveness on mine. Dunno about the supercharger or the metal intake though hehe, you might wana try some Cam gears as well

Stock r32's run 10 PSI, the gauge only goes to 7 because it's not measured in psi it's meased in mmhg or something, and that 7 = about 14 PSI

[32line]

how come that lil' gauge u get in the stock cluster reads 7?

edit: just seen 123456 post, ahh i see

yah go the split dump, when i got mine installed i noticed a much quicker spool even ith a 600x300x76 FMIC. also slightly fatter midrange power. good investment.

[32line]

7 x100mmHg = 13.5psi

im confused. i swear my guage reaches the 700mmHg wen my car isnt boosted.

[PAV34]

i have the split dump, from batmbl. Im thinking it might be the Boost Controller now.

if you have a full zorst, FMIC and pod then your boost will spike to about 12psi, ~14 sounds a bit high :S

The feed to the boost controller....is that hooked into the intercooler piping or the BOV line?

[32line]

i have a pod, a full exhaust and a remapped ecu, and my defi guage reads 10psi.

if u have a defi gauge definately trust that over your stock gauge, interesting that you dont seem to have any spike but that vcould be due to remap i guess.

[32line]

hmm, yeh, odd.

my mates car has a full exahaust and a pod, howver my car has better top end than his...must be the remapped ecu working then...

[govich]

You're going to have more lag simply because the compressor has to fill a larger volume before things get going. To get rid of this you could shorten intake piping elsewhere.

I have a Blitz LM cooler and it isn't too bad..
