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.

stock psi is 10 on a 32????

u sure?

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

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

7 x100mmHg = 13.5psi

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

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

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

:ninja: 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.

    • Based off what you’ve said here, I think I’ve figured out a good bit of what I’ve done wrong -  So on the line going from the PCV valve to carbon canister, there’s a T joint that is pretty much right next to that lower port - I hadn’t noticed that the hose in the diagram was curved to attach onto the carb, so I was putting that line for the lower port onto the PCV line / carbon canister line instead. I’m going to have a flick through the manual again tomorrow and should hopefully find a diagram that’ll show me where that T joint should be connected to. Timing also 100% needs to be sorted out as well, should be able to tackle that tomorrow as well. Definitely feel like I should be on the right track now though. 
    • The screw is for idle (pilot circuit) mixture adjustment. Else, I'm confused ~ the diagram shows 2 carby ports, and the intake manifold port, but you're suggesting the "2nd port on the back of the carb that isn’t mentioned in the diagrams" ...yet, both carby ports are shown...que?... ...in any event, that port should be connected, but if not (like it is now), it's unlikely to cause a backfire out the carby (it would introduce false air and give you a fast/lean idle) ...sounds more like timing issues/spark plug wire routing responsible for the backfiring.    
    • That's fair, I can see both points. I get enthusiastic when I see the FS section has a new post and want to see what interesting thing someone is selling. Then I get deflated it's a bump of a 10 year old post. Ha ha
    • Couple of litres of moonshine from his southern cousins would do it...
