What rpm does your CT26 hit full boost? My boost gauge reads 11 psi at full boost but I don't hit full boost till 3000 rpm. Is it just me or is my CT26 not spooling up quick enough?
EDIT: Well, sounds like all is normal with the turbo. Thanks for the input guys. This post has been edited by pokemeintheeye: Jul 7, 2007 - 3:30 PM |

Really? Is that normal? I've read in some other forums and they were talking about their turbo hitting full boost at around 2500 rpm and lower. I guess 3000 rpm isn't so bad. But my cousin test drove a swap a few months back and he also says that one hit full boost a lot earlier than mine.
The engine is pretty much all stock. Stock top mount intercooler. Looks to be a jdm 2nd gen and I was told it was from an MR2. To me, my car seems kind of slow. Not quite as fast as what I thought a swap would feel like. Its quick, but I wouldn't say fast. Don't really have much complaints. I just thought the turbo has a little too much lag. Sounds normal to some of you guys though huh? |

Sounds normal to some of you guys though huh? if it came with the top mount ic, its not from a mr2. a good DP and exhaust, getting rid of the interwarmer(top mount intercooler) a good straight intake, will all make the car feel much more responsive. a swap @ 7-8psi really isnt going to feel THAT fast...that comes after 13psi..  -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)
