Hey guys,

I have a quick question, My r32 is stock and i feel like theres lag in the turbo.

I've heard from people they said that there should be no turbo lag since its a twin turbo because it uses 1 at lower revs and 1 at higher revs.

When i do test my car, i think the turbo kicks in around 3000rpm (thats when i feel the power :|).

By the way im not a reckless driver and normally dont speed, so im not too sure if this is normal for my car or could it be some problem with the turbo? could it be the set up? or some electric problem?

Please help me settle this problem.

Cheers guys!

you are thinking about a sequential turbo set up like in a liberty, GTR's turbos run simultaneously, one feeds off exhaust from front three cylinders, the other off the three back cylinders, their charge is joined prior to entry through the intercooler, then into plenum, and fed into cylinders to mix and explode with ya go go gas

"The engine also uses a parallel twin turbo system. The turbo system is arranged so that the front turbo is powered by the front 3 cylinders, and the rear turbo is powered by the rear 3 cylinders. The turbo chargers are of equal size, and are set by the wastegates to limit boost pressure to 14.7 psi, although the Skyline GT-R has a built in boost restrictor to keep boost under 10 psi."

yeah 3 - 3,500rpm usually is when you start to see the light at the end of the tunnel!!!

Stop taking their advice - they're wrong :(

Supra's also have sequential turbos (and they are shit) FYI

A great way to combat that pesky sluggish period below 3000rpm is to rev the car to 4-5000rpm and dump the clutch :(

On a more serious note.. Definition of "Turbo Lag": Within a turbocharger's operating range (ie. in your case about 3000-7000rpm), lag is the delay between the instant a car's accelerator is depressed and the time the turbocharged engine develops a large fraction of the power available at that point in the engine's power curve.

Below 3000rpm the engine doesnt flow enough exhaust gas to spin the turbine fast enough to make boost. So what you're experiencing isnt actually "turbo lag" by definition :cheers:

You'll be suprised how much nicer they act at 15psi :D

But yeah they're pretty crappy turbos, and the ceramic wheels are dodgy as all hell. I doubt you'll find anyone on here who wouldnt recommend changing them as soon as the budget allows :P The most responsive direct replacements are HKS GTSS, or Garrett 2860-7's for the budget minded.

Enjoy!

This quote is true, chuck on new turbos asap. When those turbo's go bang, which may be in the not too distant future, the ceramic dust stuffs your engine. I have N1's in mine (all steel), i think they are the same size as the stock ones and they are heppy to sit on 1.2 bar. Good Luck!

GTR system is definately not a sequential turbo setup. Easy way to check how your boost is going is go buy a $40 boost gauge and see whats happening, you could have a vac leak or one of your actuators playing up or even worse a turbo problem.

If you need to replace them get some HKS 2510/30/40's great turbos.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
