Boost at 3300rpm was 1 bar, with no timing in it. Made 254HP at the hubs in that state of tune, and a massive wallop of torque.

Its not ready to rumble just yet, its back off the road again with a few small issues, but such is life when it comes to modified cars

It'll be on the road soon, perfect, and pumping 25 pounds

Joe, what exact turbo is it and how much and who from....
Would be nice on the new Sti at 18psi......
Al

measured how exactly? dyno? street? what gear? rolling start?

I find this type of comment always amusing - for example, in 5th gear @ 2700 rpm, when 100% throttle is applied, I don't see full boost (20psi) until 4200rpm - is this laggy? yes - does it matter? no - why? cause i'd never drive around in 5th gear @ 2700rpm to begin with, therefore it's a useless stat IMO. If you are in the right gear to begin with & are at the correct rpm for the gearing, it should only take you a second to be on 'full boost' when you apply throttle.

Being in the wrong gear & labouring around in the low RPM range will always be laggy as hell!

My car is a laggy mofo getting off the line in 1st gear - after that it's easy...

nothing 7000rpm and a slip of the clutch and ort to fix hey fred ?

stace, you have went the high boost small turbo direction. Good throttle response, how much hot air? do you think there is any extra strain on the motor running above 1.5bar regularly?

Whats a good intercooler going to do when you are running around 1.5bar previously with a TMIC. If I run the same boost with the FMIC, theoretically the charge may be cooler and there may be less flow resistance as well.

when running high boost, good intercooling is more important?

while I have you, was it you that posted up some pump (electronic or something) that maintains Vaccum pressure when using Anti-lag? I would like to know more about that...

yup, fantastic throttle response, theres always sufficent power at most area's of the rev range to make street driving always exciting, the only thing i miss out on is opening it right up on long stretches of road (short gearbox ratios dont really give you a lot of top speed)

the only issue ive encountered so far with big boost is pushing the rear main seal, so its loosing a bit of oil now, but nothing im too concerned with at the moment.

hot air wise, its not a huge issue yet, street conditions vary somewhat significantly to dyno conditions where heatsoak and airflow are far more optimal. even when holding boost for an extended period it doesnt get out of hand. (i'll post some motec logs if your interested)

yeah, i dont think i posted it, but i mentioned that early BMW's dont directly use manifold vacuum to engage the master cylinder vacuum assist, they use a electronically operated nitrogen accumular ball that does the assistance for them,

On the dyno 4th gear, not sure what RPM the run was started at, but it was in the 2-2500rpm range.

is that black wrx from sinapore ??
