l2r spool up

[race my talon]

i have the full garret l2r kit from agp and im not seeing full boost until like 5000 rpm's at 21 psi...seems a lil laggy to me..i am running a bone stock engine(internals)..does this sound right? just trying to make sure..thanks

Your not tuned

 

[Kingdom]

still thats a lot of lag even if untuned. that must be really untuned.

maybe some boost leak, or boost controller problem or adjustment. maybe wastegate settings.

what size exhaust housing on your turbo?

 

[GSX4LIFE]

He has a .63 4 bolt

port stuff

I think its all in tuning. I gained over 1000rpm in spoolup with my L2R once I got the car decently tuned.

well i tested it out again....it seems in first gear boost doesnt come on until late..but if i punch it in 2nd or 3rd at like 2000 rpm's it will be at full boost by 3800-4000 rpms....so it seems it actually is spooling at the right time

also remember im used to the big 16g spool ;x

I have the hybrid version of the L2R(not full garret). I see 20psi by around 4100-4300.

race my talon, did those settings I gave you help any? John, your not seeing 21psi until 4100-4300?? Whats up with that? Are you poorly tuned as well? iM getting 25psi buy 3500-3600. And thats with the E compressor housing.

i think i actually figured out the problem now...i have a dejon tool 3 1/2" intake with the air bypass tube on it..the air bypass tube sucks in unmetered air below the mass air sensor so there are basically two intake points where the turbo sucks in air...i capped the air bypass tube..and now the turbo is spooling at the drop of a dime. very weird..now i have to lean it out ...

Dude thats pretty lame. How long have you been running it uncorked? Was it like that with your 16g?

 

[race my talon]

i got the intake pipe at the same time i ordered the l2r, the 16g was never laggy at all i had the stock intake on that..ive had it uncorked ever since i installed it and today i decided to cork it and see if it had any effect. and it did

Yes I do need to tune.

and as Kevin says "my car has issues"

I will be getting propane on and hitting the dyno in a few weeks when I have money for it.

Also I only have an AFC so it's getting around time to upgrage my fule management.

Most likely to and E-manage and the LS1 MAF translator.

well now i also found another problem...the sfp manifold that came with the kit now has a hole in 2 different welds on the manifold and is leaking exhaust

*update on manifold problem*

Due to AWESOME customer service from AGP i am getting another manifold free of charge to replace the defective one.

AGP =

 

[larryd]

How long before you get the new manifold?

about a week and a half - 2 weeks max
