turbo spool

[Nima_What]

Just out of curiousity at what RPM does your turbo start to spool at in your MSP. I start to hear my turbo at around 3500-4000k. That seems a little high doesnt it? Your input is greatly appreciated.

 

[RallyeRedSi]

around 2000-2500 RPMs

Mine is the same, not sure why... feels like I have a shitload of power on topend though...

 

[Andrewsmc]

3500ish..

 

[cbr600rx7]

spools at 2200-2400 full by 4200

^ look at the size of your fmic!! lol...that'll slow 'er down a tad. yea mine starts just after 2k and hits full pretty quick if WOT.

 

[BlueBeast22]

Yeah I dont think the FMIC should affect how it spools that much. But then again who knows

Mine spools around 3500, wish it was a little sooner though.

FMIC will slow it down a little because the charge air has so much more volume to fill. So an smic, small fmic, or one with very direct piping would slow it down less, but still slower than stock, and the pressure drop with the upgraded intercooler (turbo must make up for that).

thats why with only running 8 psi i got the uprgraded smic (custommsp) cause you will yeild more gains from it

 

[RallyeRedSi]

i have fmic and like i said before i spool betweem 2000-2500 rpms

 

[msp35]

9 psi 2800rpm to redline. Starts spooling 1900-2200.

do you have a boost gauge? just becuase u hear it then doesnt mean it wasnt spooled up. if you are on stock boos tat 6psi it will definitely spool up before 4000k

I dont have a boost gauge yet, but very soon i will.

 

[ruskiMSP]

stock boost 7 psi, 2200-2600

Idle.. lol

A large FMIC will create more turbo lag then say a smaller one. The same amount of air has to move past a bigger area to reach the combustion chamber. However you have to balance size to efficiency. A good example is the srt4 guys that are running stock boost with a cat back and intake but have a huge After market front mount. With out increasing the boost and proper tuning youre not helping the car that much. Of course thats because the neon has that nice big front mount over crapy heat exchanger s*** but hey its better than nothing.
