Very simple...

Lag is the time it takes a turbo to come onto full boost; so as an example you may get full boost @ 5000rpm so your lag time is the time it takes ur car to go from 0rpm to 5000rpm

ways to fix lag;

-smaller turbo

-cams

-better flowing head

-ebc

-antilag

ill take 2 thanks Az.
make them the big ones, and az, i need them by tonight

hahaha i feel like im in the movie.

Sadly there is no overnight parts service that does not cost less then ones left nut. :devil:

To put it simply.

Lag is the process of building up air pressure/flow mass to increase shaft speed within the turbocharger to generate positive pressure.

Until the desired boost pressure is met this is referred to as lag.

To decrease lag, smaller and lighter internals can be used within the turbocharger to increase shafts speed. (smaller turbocharger)

Lag means horsepower though :P

turbo lag comes from the compressor not being efficient until it reaches a high speed, say 50,000+ rpm? when the compressor isnt spinning fast enough it doesn't produce much positive pressure or airflow so the engine just is burning whatever air comes in. as the compressor gets faster and faster from exhaust gas/engine load the compressor beings to "compress" the intake and stuff more air in.

when there is little exhaust gas the compressor doesnt spin fast enough, so its referred to as lag. common for the skyline range is nothing before say 2500rpm. past this theres enough exhaust gas to wind the compressor into its effiency zone and usually get around 10psi positive "boost" pressure before 3000rpm.

as engine displacment and type changes, along with turbocharger technologoy, engine tune etc so to does the engine lag. so there are a few things you can do to reduce turbocharger lag

Turbo lag is when you order your turbo and they haven't got any and it will be a two week wait.............thats real lag.

hehe the WORST lag ever. I think we have all been thru that type of lag from time to time. :down:

I am suffering form differential mechanic lag at the moment. it is taking 2 weeks and counting to spool up... :(

    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
    • Yes, a plan for non-action is always my first sort of plan! I'm happy to see what falls out of invision's update. I had been having some thoughts on what to do with this the other day and they all seem to have fled my memory, after various solar panel induced traumas, squeaking suspension sphericals, etc etc, over the last little bit. I'll try and recall what I had in mind and make sure that I put it into print in some form before the Alzheimer's strikes again.
    • The ability to have both a 5500 stall for launching, and a regular lockup for every other scenario is pretty sweet. Does it actually work well like that though in the real world? Would it hold up to track use and otherwise you'd never know you had a stall converter in it? If so, that's awesome
