two words you never hear together

ok im new to this whole turbo thing so forgive me if im really wrong.

my glanza is running at 0.8 bar at the moment, and i was thinking if i up the boost to 1.0 bar it would boost a bit later and be more economical around town as it would boost later in the rev band. so a possibility of power and economy? or am i speaking absoloute rubbish?

 

[Adam_Glanza]

speaking rubbish unfortunately, it doesnt work like that.

it will still spool up @ the same time, you will just have more power

 

[Kelly]

If you dont already have one (which u should really) then you would need an uprated manifold for such boost.

 

[Nwimie]

if you want economy then just dont be as happy with the loud peddle. easyest solution

 

[Greg0r]

cause the ct9 is small even when upping the boost it will start boosting at the same time.

if you get a bigger turbo it will boost later in the revs so might give more mpg if not going into boost.

yeah easiest way with standard turbo is just lay off the gas

 

[gaz_turbo1]

i would think you should look for a fcd before thinking of getting a mani

 

[Dave@TM-developments.com]

A decent piggyback ecu will give more power and better economy off boost

 

[97'GlanzaVTurbo]

You can also run it in low boost would that not save petrol/be more economical?

[Jules-B]

nope, has been found that low boost does nothing for economy

 

[97'GlanzaVTurbo]

nope, has been found that low boost does nothing for economy

Really?? So you use the same amount of petrol in high & low boost? How does that work?
Christy

 

[Jules-B]

i have no idea mate...get it disconnected!!

 

[Glanza Phil]

well as there is no way round it ill just up the boost for more power

my mods list goes like this for engine anyway

hks ecu
hks mushroom filter
hks dump valve
hks adjustable actuator
hks fuel cut defender
hks boost controller
magnecor 8mm leads
ngk iridium plugs
low boost by passed
forge front mount intercooler
side exit exhaust
samco hosing/piping
uprated exeedy clutch

do i need anything else to run at 1 bar boost?

 

[EP82]

Yea you will need a rrfpr

Never heard of a HKS ECU, Maby a Piggy back, As for aditional As kelly said above an Uprated Manifold is Highly recomended

 

[Glanza Phil]

what is an rrfpr?

i was looking into getting a wepr mani anyhow

 

[EP82]

Rising Rate Fuel Pressure Regulator, you will need one to support the raised fuelling

is that the same as an fpr? cos im getting one put on soon

 

[EP82]

Yea same thing mate, you will need one to run more boost and stop the mixture running too lean

 

[Glanza Phil]

A HA!! it all makes sense now

many thanks ep82

If you were to get and emanage and fit it to a stock car you will soon realise the msot cars run really rich and with some tweaking at cruise etc and bsot areas you can get power gaines as wella s an increase in economy as you basically make it more effiecent.
