From what i've driven, high comp makes the boost instant, full song around 4k till 8-8.5, which is alright with hondie ratios

Car is 1ton like pulsars, 2L plentyful off boost, gets off line really easy, but then we're drifting off to the silvia vs skyline chassis hear

From what I'm seeing in that graph, definitly not peaky, lots of usable power

Referring to the 300kw one above, is similar set up to mates integra.

Im just bored ok

felt like spamming

f*k yas

4000rpm =/= instant

tweeked Std turbo here.. with a BOV that promises 15% better response again...(not the reason i bought it) that's as good as response as your really going to get.

and I can light them up at 30 in 3rd..(on the deca skid pan with a kick and maybe a puddle)

4000rpm =/= instant

Different things

there "turbo lag" where how long it takes for the turbo to spool up as soon as you step on it (say at 5000rpm you should be at full boost, you're cruising at 5000 cause you're deaccel, then you punch the gas, the lag time between none to full boost)

and "turbo lag" where how early in the rev range full boost is experienced

So easy to hit 4000rpm with honda ratios, heck we sit at 3.5k rpm at 100 in 6th with a type r box

If I'm driving hard and want good response:

Step 1 is BEING IN THE RIGHT GEAR!
You don't need power at 2000rpm, you should have already downshifted two gears and getting it into the peak power band of the engine/turbo setup.

So for me, response isn't about RPM, it's how long the turbo it takes to come onto full boost when I stomp the loud pedal and I'm already at 5000rpm.

A decent power curve is nice below there, makes everything nicer on the street. But don't expect to make balls to the wall power AND have all the power down low in a turbo car, or it'll run out up of go after you get above the midrange (which is where you'll be if you want to go fast)

I'm talking about manuals of course, because fk autos

Hehe, i like how we both used 5k rpm :rolleyes:

What car you driving these days Jonoe?

stock dc2r for daily, ek going under some works but will take a while since most of my money just went into holidays. Graduate end of this year :D

What's a pulley upgrade?

:rolleyes:

    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
