spool up times (different turbos)

[fast93accord]

my turbo is known as the SBR-M60
On the compressor side it has a 60-1 wheel in a 3"inlet 2"outlet housing. Standard td05/6 bearings. TD06H turbine wheel in a ported 7cm housing with 38mm internal wastegate. The car starts to make 1 pound of boost around 3300rpm. I get about 8psi at 4000rpm and full boost (15psi on the street) at 5000rpm. It has lag, but the car is torquey with no boost so its cool...

also remember that just because its in boost doesn't mean the turbo is in its efficiency range

[WiKKeDV16]

i know that.. which is why something that would start to boost around 3k and be fully spooled by 4k.. would seem optimal no...??

[Backfire32]

i have full boost round 3k in 3rd and that turbo 60 trim t3 .63 exhaust ar. since the rebuild.

[haccord992h]

what about the 14b?

[iamanonymous]

no love for me....5 psi at 3k 10 at about 3600, t04e, 56.25 trim, turbonetics....52/63, stage 3 i think.
fu

also it gets 10 psi at around 4k, but my wg gasket leaks a little...oh and i have lag like a bitch....compared to the 16g which is instant boost

14b=instant

can someone explain why you would want a turbo to spool up later? Personally I would want the smallest turbo w/ the fastest spoolup to meet my power goals. So Im just trying to figure this out in my head.

[midnightrayne]

because tiny turbos = lots of hot air which can cause detontation and then your engine goes BOOM! larger turbos make less heat and there more effecient than the smaller turbos. The larger turbos are acutally alot safer to run then the small ones. the small turbo also doesnt have a very good power band and will run out before your ready to shift.

The perfect turbo to me anyways is one that will kick in at the same time the engines natural power curve is on, that way you get the best of both. So to me again the perfect turbo is one that is matched for your engine and mods that you have done so everything will run smooth. but i dunno what the perfect turbo is so im still guessing.

[92ex]

but of course you can shift where the power is with cam gears...

Damn, I remember when she was asking noob questions

[oneoffaccord]

whatever turbo is in the 2nd gen talon is, that boost really quickly. around 3k it starts to boost

im running a rhb6, i begin to spool around 3.5 kish area...it is a little bigger then a t3/t4, pulls like a motha after 4k

HAHA i know right but im blonde so every once and awhile i revert to the dumb side lol. anyways im still learning always will be.

Depends on the AR's...I have a BFT T4/T3. Shit, next upgrade would just be a T70!

Remember that larger exhaust diameter and freer flowing exhaust manifolds decrease spool time! I can't wait to try out my new downpipe!!!!
