Thread: Think I went with too big of a turbo...

Yea, but a .82ar housing flows more than my 1.06 TS. A lot more. I'm making the same power with a larger powerband, which is why I went VVL in the first place. The response of my setup is just insane, more so than my .63 and log setup.

Your setup has always been about efficiency. The parts you chose work together very well. Everything from the intake manifold to tubular, and you are tuned no?

If you break transmission then you have one strong ass car!!!

Shit just go real.

So yeah! I do agree that this is all pointless and stupid. We are not even talking about dyno numbers here. The car in question has not made one dyno run so we do not even know where Vadim stands. Good Luck man, I hope u get this sorted out.

Ya, cars with power and response do that.

My car has alway been slow and under powered so what would I know.

I think the Florida guys ego comment is crazy, I doubt Florida boys have demonstrated egos on this thread.
All I'm saying On here is Dyno it and you'll find a factual answer On your specific setup.
I give no input on what he should do unlike others unless you actually tune and then go from there.
DYNO time and actually tuning fuel timing and anything mechanical.
Work with your budget and if what you have is what you can get with what your willing to invest, then tune it and make sure it's safe. That's all I've been saying.
Coheed I have not broken a gearbox because I have learned how to drive to not break them and refined my driving habits to not tear them.
Yes I am an aggressive driver and I do not lift off the gas to shift, I just learned in what gear to put the power, you look at the three racing vids of me at the events and you don't hear me bouncing off the rev limiter in everygear.
Breaking stuff does not always mean power.
I had a friend that broke a clutch disk every week, does that mean he made power no, he just did not shift right.
13 years owning stick shift cars and I have yet to bust a clutch.
VADIM Dyno the car, you'll get your true answer. Not hunches.

And there you have it.....

I don't think it is a shifting problem, because I've never broken a clutch. In fact, I never spent more than $200 on my clutches on the old setup. Never had a problem there. I always baby the shift, but once I get going, its nailed.

Well the clutch statement was an example not directed to you. But the tranny cementary does not always reflect Power. Even with my power band I had before. Vvl would hit on my car at 4900 rpm's and it was a instant 100 whp hit. The graph I posted clearly shows the Vvl activation.

Great info in this thread

Speaking on which, where is Vadim?? Any updates sir??
