decreasing turbo lag

Like Bob said above by far the best and most effective way to decrease lag is an electronic boost controler, just to give you an idea.

i'm running 15 on the duty cycle on my Blitz SBC, ported and polished head, heat wrapped Japspeed exhaust, filter re-located to front, heat wrapped Zisco de-cat and heat wrapped Toytuning mild steel manifold and i am getting full boost ( 1 bar ) at just about 2k and starts to boost at about 1.2-1.5k

waoh! thats fucking early lol, im a bit of a heat wrap whore myself, every part that goes on is bloody wrapped in it, would you say its helped?
 
Personally i'd stay away from the HDI ones, the solenoid has been known to fail. I'd go for a Blitz SBC they are very very easy to use and mine hasn't missed a beat since being in the car. nice beefy Solenoid on it too and around the same price from the states.

theres a couple from japan on ebay for around £220 are they the real deal do u kno?? :)
 
Defo somethink going rong there you be geting full boost by 2800-3,000 RPM
on the ct9.

i have to agree with this statement
a ct9 spools very easily and reaches full boost in the blink of an eye...even on a completely stock ep82/91

as i jokingly told "guye"...one could probably blow directly into the ct9's turbine housing with their mouth and generate 1-2 psi of boost :haha:

hope you get your problem sorted:cool:

LOL! I should add that the overall condition of the engine is also a factor. Before I was getting results like Franza's using the profecb spec2 and hks actuator, spool up from 1100rpm, 15psi at 2100rpm holding perfectly steady until redline. Gorganl recently swap my engine out for one he rebuilt using stock components, and I have noticed that I still get 15psi by 2500rpm with just the hks actuator. The power doesn't kick in as violently as before but with a fresh engine installed I haven't bothered to setup my profecb as yet since it's is running far better the the previous motor. The only drawback is that without the ebc, my boost drops to 13psi by the time it hits redline, so the ebc played a major role in response and boost stability. As soon as I get my car back from the painter I will set it up to suit the new engine.

its not a problem, its because of my fmic causing a little more lag, its only in first and second all other gears are full boost by 3k.
suppose i just want instant agression lol.

That's the ebc I use. As I have advised other members in the pass, if you invest the time to tweak the settings you will be able to get monstrous response without spikes or creep. They have all reported marked improvement in spool up and low end response, yet boost stayed stable until red line. The setup is different for each car (manifold, intakes, engine condition, i/c piping length and size, turbines and exhaust systems are different from car to car) but the results were always similar.

nice one guye, think i will invest :beer:
