Friday, May 27, 2005 4:48 PM
yeah ive had my turbo for like 3 months now .. im running 6psi ... and i have a 2000 2.2 sunfire auto 3 gear (slushbox) whatever... rksport catback highflow cat upper and lower rksport engine mounts.. thats it performace wise... but my car is really really slow off the line up until like 40-45mph than i can feel the hp picking up... but my boost usally comes around 30mph , and like i raced .. well went really fast with a nissian altima 3.... whatever it was a 2006 .. and we were on the highway and coming on to the highway ... i couldnt catch him at all then around 45 i was pulling and around 80 i completely caught up ... pretty neck and neck .. but at the higher speesds 60-80mph the hp and torque were right there when i wanted it .. is this just something with a turbo r do i need a turbo timmer?......oh sorry for the long story

Turbo timers let the car idle after you turn it off to cool the turrbo. That wont help you with what you are asking for.
If you want to hit boost sooner without sacrificing any of your top end, shorten your charge pipes the best you can or free up your exhaust more. Are you intercooled? What do you have for fuel mods with the turbo set-up? What have you done for tuning?

questions...

like josh already said... fuel mods, any at all?

your page lists....

Current Mod List
STAGE 1 GARNETT TURBO
CAI filter from 3A RACING
Short Throw Automatic shifter from
RS-1 TUNING

racing pedals from RS-1 Tuning
Hyperwhite headlights from APC
Custom painted grille Arctic White
custom billet grille inserts
3" autometer tach... for sale
clear hvac knobs
Dual A-Pillar Gauge Pod
Boost Gauge from Autometer
Air/ Fuel Gauge From Autometer

what exactly and how exactly do you have a short throw shifter on an auto?

also you got some HP from it, and a TB....

also states you have:

well its been a while since i updated but i have done so pretty nice stuff.
FULL CATBACK From RKsport
HI-Flow Cat From Rksport
Toyo 19570r15 speed rated z
63mm Throttle body custom made


with a turbo you have alot of air going in.... you might need to upgrade your exhaust pipes if you havent done so...

also

shift boot and short throw shifter..... for an auto... just asking, but are you trying to shift this and race manually?

if you are you are prob doing more damage than good and can pretty much be the reason of your lack of punch off the line until you get into upper rpms....

unless the tranny is rebuilt for shifting it under power, and a torque converter made for it... you are probably overheating your trans fluid big time.... do you have a guage for it? the transmission temp?

Dude its all about your exhaust. Get a bigger exhaust and you will see a whole new world of power. My stock exhaust was like 1.6 inches in one spot. I cant even imagine putting a turbo on that. Its like trying to sh*t through a Straw
