what boost can i run now??

[qikr33]

Ok fellas ,got are custom fmic, head has been off and fully rebuilt so like brand new, 3" full xhaust, new turbo t4/t3 highflowed vl t3 compressor (t4) and t3 exhaust wheel.It seems to develop boost from 3000 then by 3500 it may have 4-7psi and not very responsive to this then it hits about 4500 revs and then it kicks the fark out of my seat and throws me down the road!!!Now this is fun and its running 12psi but what can i actualy run on this set up considering all i have is a safc .Should i be putting more fuel into it???Can someone point me in the right direction marty

15psi...

run it rich.

my bro runs 15psi on his R33 gtst with stock internals, stock ecu, stock turbo

and it hits full boost at 4,500rpm spools at 2,500

[VIPERGTSR01]

get it tuned on a dyno

So is it a T04 Comp housing or a T03 one still???

If it's not a T04 front housing then you've got a T3 Hi-flowed. Not a T3/4.

I had a T3/4 and it hit 13psi by 4200rpm.

Get the car onto a dyno... my bet is that you'll be running out of fuel.

1) Because your fuel pump wont be upto the task.

2) The injectors wont make much more than ~200rwkw before you need to upgrade the Reg or injectors themselves anyways.

15psi...

I hope your brother has some cash floating around because he'll but shopping for a new turbo soon. :Bang: :Bang:

yes to clarify its still a t3 compressor housing but not a t3 comp wheel its had a hi flow so i think its a t4 wheel machined into it.

[R31Nismoid]

That's laggy the for a hi-flowed T3 IMO.

very laggy.

[qikr33]

i self tuned basic tune on the safc and managed to get some more power out of it but still laggy to 4000-4500 more so 4500.Once im at 100km /h and hit 3rd it really picks up.Oh well maybe i may have to get timing gears to try and adjust the torque curve .

[qikr33]

nizmoid so r u thinking that its bigger still???

[R31Nismoid]

Bigger?

what ya mean mate.

[qikr33]

well u said that it has a lot of lag for a t3 are u suspecting they put a bigger compressor or exhaust wheel on it

[R31Nismoid]

I dunno.

It's all about wheels and housings combo.

but for a hi-flowed T3 that is appalling lag, it should'nt be that laggy i reckon.

probably will be a tad more than what you had before, but not hugely.

As i said, i have a t04 comp housing, T3 rear, and i get 13psi @ 4200rpm

You had it on a dyno yet???

[qikr33]

not dynoed yet but will do soon waitning for good weather to go to willowbamk but i will run a powr fc so i am expecting 12's
