one more problem.lol . forreal..! lag???

[twotonedrift]

so... my rb20 is running about 6 pounds on a t28 turbo. and the car feels slow compared to some of my fellow rb enthusiests. granted theirs are atleast pushin 9 pounds, but my car feels like it doesnt spool till 4k.? thats pretty crappy. . i dnt kno if its because im 6 pounds on a slightly bigger turbo? or if my cas is off a tooth hardtimeing? i checked for gasket leaks, and i dnt feel any. mabee im overlooking somthing that ya'll know.? im thinkin push alittle more boost??

[Mistaken]

Are you actually hitting boost at 4000? Or does it only feel like it its spooling that late but actually spooling early. Sounds like it could be anything from fuel problems/timing/piping leaks/garbage tuning/exhaust leaks. Any more information on the car?

I would reset your base timing by the FSM just to be sure, never hurts to take the few minutes to do so. Then throw a timing light on there to make sure the timing is spot on.

When you did the swap did you put in a new fuel filter/fuel pump (IE: walbro 255/bosch 044)?

Also did you check the turbo for shaft play/bearing problems?

I cant imagine you could get a turbine housing large enough to make a T28 spool that slow.

well the car is pretty much stock. and thats a good idea about checkin the turbo for shaft play. i been meaning to do that. . as far as ic leaks. i fixed the only one i could find. oh and i dnt have a tach anymore since the new swap. but it lags so hard to the point were it 'feels' like it only spools hard till 4k rpm... i was gonna suggest the turbo. . you kno how all turbos make a nice whisle during spool? well you cant hear mine forreal till im pushin the car hard. i dont kno if its making sense to ya'll, but thats the conclusion i came to as far as the turbo goes. everyone elses rb that ive riden in, you can hear there spool the second you hit the gas,(in low rpm) ... once again i may not be makin sense. so let me kno if i have to explain better...thanx

sounds like a boost leak, idk why a t28 would spool at over 4 k

[SullivanRacing06]

and 6 psi is not much boost

[twotonedrift]

well i think if its gonna be a leak. im thinkin the maninfold gaskets? can they get worn out and old, n just start leaking?
