Re: wish i had a 3kvr4 :(
 

Maybe? But between my old 96 GSX and my current 97 GSX, I've put on over 130,000 miles on DSMs. Only problems I ever had was the stupid power antennas and the spark plug wire arched on me pretty bad. I call DSMs very reliable. :)

Re: wish i had a 3kvr4 :(
 

I'm just givin ya shit man. I agree with DSM's being reliable (as long as they're kept up well). Unfortunatley, that doesn't happen nearly enough as is should

Re: wish i had a 3kvr4 :(
 

With a 50 trim (and .63 or scm housing) you should hit full boost in the mid 3k's, you have something wrong if it is over 4k to full boost. If you can't launch better than a fwd, then you need to learn how to slip a clutch!

Re: wish i had a 3kvr4 :(
 

Shit man ive practiced launching. I can't pop the clutch because it will bog down ( I know I shouldn't pop it anyway). The only way I get a decent start is if i slowly let off the clutch and easy into firsttt. but yea i dont hit boost entil like 4 and not full boost untill 5k isher. sucks dick i knoww

2-step FTW!

Turbo lag is only a teaser for the guy next to you. If a 50-trim is too laggy for you my friend, then don't ever upgrade.

Re: wish i had a 3kvr4 :(
 

yea 50 trims are laggy, But so are every other turbo just as big or bigger. you don't see the fast dsm's runnin low and uner 12s with 16g's now do ya?! One day I'll figure out my laptop and get a good tune and learn to play with some of the features of dsmlink.

Re: wish i had a 3kvr4 :(
 

Actually, if you have the Curt Brown mod, you can run a 10.3/4 on a 16g, with mild cams and e85.

Re: wish i had a 3kvr4 :(
 

Lag can be contributed to a few things.

Boost leaks/pressure drop
Exhaust leaks

are the major 2. Also a wounded turbine wheel can attribute to a laggy setup. Intake restrictions, and a weak motor.

Re: wish i had a 3kvr4 :(
 

Boost leak test tomorrow. I don't hear any exhaust leaks at all and I've got all brand new gaskets. The turbo has about one summer on it and has been pretty well taken care of (warming it up and cooling it down). The turbo was mint when I put it in a few months ago and I've been pretty nice to it for the most part. And you yourself congratulated me on having such a "healthy motor." I'm hoping there are a few boost leaks haha

Re: wish i had a 3kvr4 :(
 

Yeah if I remember correctly the compression numbers were good.

Re: wish i had a 3kvr4 :(
 

I didn't even know you guys did a compression test. I doubt you have the numbers recorded anywhere, but if you do lmk cus thad be nice to know

Re: wish i had a 3kvr4 :(
 

Why not just get it dyno-tuned? Get it done right to reduce the chance of harming your engine.

Re: wish i had a 3kvr4 :(
 

I contribute your beating to driver error. Good luck next time.

Re: wish i had a 3kvr4 :(
 

LSE tuned my car so I guess the tune is good. But I meant once I get my laptop hooked up I can look into features like the studder box and shift points. Idk just a thought

Re: wish i had a 3kvr4 :(
 

Never said I raced him. Never launched against him. So how could I have gotten beat if we never raced? I said he lurched forward and took off a few times. Your fantasizing again Aaron

Re: wish i had a 3kvr4 :(
 

I am with Aaron, I think driver skill will take care of the launch problem. I ran my 11.5 without a stutterbox with a turbo at least as laggy as yours. I don't think you are launching high enough, you should be about 5,500 rpm when you start to launch.

Re: wish i had a 3kvr4 :(
 

O I can promise you I'm not very good at launching. That wasn't the question at all. My limiter is set at 5000 when I launch and again, I'm waiting to hook up my laptop and play with that setting. As far as racing and losing, well I may have won and I may have lost. The point is, we didn't race. I don't go around street racing on public streets like some people. If I do race, we go to side streets or specific places where there are no people or cars.

Congrats o your 11.5

Re: wish i had a 3kvr4 :(
 

That is just my opinion, please don't be upset, i mean i just took from your previous posts in this thread. Plus you seemed to have an answer for everyone, so i just gave the most honest answer that was in everyone's head, i am usually honest and up front enough to say it.
But hey if you wanna question my credibility on driving you know where i am.
Good luck with your problems and also check out DSMlink.com/wiki for more help on hooking up your dsmlink to a mac system.

Re: wish i had a 3kvr4 :(
 

Not angry. I was just mildly venting about turbo lag. I know that "in the end" I would have won if we did race. But like I've been saying, I just don't like always coming from behind lol (maybe that's my fault, maybe it's not idk). But what is this about questioning your credibility on driving? You work on cars, you don't race em. I fill ink cartridges, but don't ask me about printers. If I have a question retaining to working on cars I'll let you know! :)
-good day

Re: wish i had a 3kvr4 :(
 

50's arent that laggy...
