Green Model Turbo Question

[DannyD]

How long does it take to hit about 18psi with the green model turbo? Is there a lot of lag?

I see that around 3800 to 4000rpm's on mine

I don't think 3800 is bad for a Non Ball Bearing Turbo of this size. It might even be 3700, but I don't think that really matters. I do most of my racing from a 60 punch anyhow, so who cares.

...who cares. I fail to see how that comment contributed to this. He asked about Greens, not ETE32's. This site used to be pretty cool, but now all I see is flaming lately.

im sorry you feel offended, by my post. the intent was not to make this a turbocharger comparison. a bunch of guys around here actually have greens, and have a little better spoolup then what you posted. maybe you should try a better flowing 02 housing,and more tuning. i found that leaning out 2-3K on the high table helped spoolup alot

My stupid car won't hit full boost till 5.5k BUT I just finished tearing apart the exhaust mani and turbo because I had a leak at the mani. I'm hoping I will hit full boost at the 3.8-4k mark now. If not I may cheat and throw in a 30 shot. At least its good to know that other Green owners are hitting full boost at the 3.3-3.8k mark. I'm way off. Any ideas on what to check if my rebuild didn't fix my boost issue?

 

[Violater101]

My car isn't tuned, so maybe that has something to do with my problems, but i'm still not complaining...this way I'm not spinning tires out of the hole Sorry I took that the wrong way JDMAWD. I know a friend has a 20g and it didn't spool till 3500. What do you think it should be spooling at if I might ask?

wow thats pretty broad, dont you think. honestly i have no idea, i have never owned a 20. nor do i know anyone who has one.

 

[Violater101]

Cool, but what do your friends see for spoolup with their Green?

i consider myself lucky. my 14b doesnt hit 15psi until around 4500rpms, and its been like that since i got the car (exhaust leak + nearly dead turbo). once i upgrade soon, itl spool faster and hit a lot harder top end

my 20g hits full boost at around 3500, 3" trbo back ex no cat......
closer to 4000 with the stock exhaust come smog time.

Wowsers! I finally got my VPE 2.5" O2 housing on this weekend, 2.5" DP, and my own 3" test pipe with 3" Thermal catback. I am seeing approximately 10 psi by 2500 RPM. 16 psi comes along about 2700 RPM. This is all in 5th gear starting on level ground from 2000 RPM and flooring it. I am almost hating to put that Mutt on--I am liking the low RPM boost!

they spool 20-22 psi at around what you are spooling 18

 

[Violater101]

Ahh, thx ...well once i'm tuned and get some bigger injector's, I see what I spool that at. I'm sure it should be that also.
