Boost issue.. Kinda...
Ok so I wanted to see how my car boosts through the first 3 gears since I never really tried going WOT through the first 3 gears. Well first gear went to 10psi, 2nd gear went to 5 psi, and 3rd gear went to 5 psi. Shouldnt it be 10, 10, 10?? Should it hold steady boost readings or drop a little? I think my car is fairly quick but I am sure that if I can do 10,10,10 it will fly. Do you guys think this is a boost leak issue somewhere in the system? How much does it cost to shim the wastegate and can it be done easily? I heard that shimming the wastegate lets the turbo spool to 14 psi. I also heard that a divorced downpipe gives the supra 30whp is this true? Sounds like a rediculous gain for one upgrade. I know this is alot to read but my last question is what kind of power am I looking at with these upgrades. Just give me a rough estimate. I was thinking like 320hp? Aluminum Radiator Front mount intercooler intake divorced downpipe test pipe shimmed wastegate 14 psi 2 1/2 in magnaflow catback HKS SS Blowoff valve By the way I have a new HG, Timing chain, and ARP headbolts. Would that setup be safe if I used 14psi only when racing and kept it at 6psi when daily driving? Last edited by 2JZEFINI-17; 11-12-2006 at 07:58 AM. |

why not jus get a boost controller, even a manual one that what it basically does, only ghetto Quote:
"u won bcuz i hit fuel cut" -civic 14 psi with no supporting fuel mods? Quote:
lesser restrictions, quicker exhaust gases get out of your system more power ur car makes Quote:

do not try raising the boost so much without tuning, or without a dyno nontheless you're gonna end up running too lean, and BOOM well hope this helps u
