faster spool on a t3?
Turbo Mini Forums

hey

is there any way to make my t3 spool faster? ive got a big intercooler and its spools around 3800rpm

cheers eden

13.95 1/4 mile on a 2.95 fd. Carnt be that hard to beat!

change it to a better turbo ? lol

Timing, fuel, boost control setup, wastegate actuator etc can all make a difference

9.85 @ 145mph
202mph standing mile
speed didn't kill me, but taxation probably will

i was thinkin the actuator wat are my optiontions with that?

Which T3 is it? Sounds ok for a standard metro unit.

They do feel laggy even more so when on low boost as there isnt a very big kick!

install a bov it'll help your big turbo to spool to free atm before seing boost

its a standard metro t3

fab: wats a bov?

?
you can make it recirculating to the compressor inlet if you don't want tit to be noisey

isnt the chatter bad for the bearings in the turbo?

never thought of that. ive been out i it today and it spools around 3500 which isent to bad really. just carnt stop the damm thing getting hot!

true, true, sometimes i like the lagg on my t3 as it comes in all at once and feeeels great! as for spooling quicker like people have said those are the main options except getting a smaller turbo

Your dumpvalve, if your taking his vaccum from the inlet manifold, will see vaccum when your not on boost, thus let your compressor speeding to free atmosphere before shutting the valve, I've used this mod a la priority breather valve on my big k16 with good effect.

Alpa was looking for the same issue and got some answers.
I'll try and find the thread.

Rusty by nature

A decent shot of nos should give it a kick start.

133.5 bhp 123 lb torque 116mph @6640rpm 9.5psi
Shakespear RWYB 14.995 91.83mph

I wouldn't mind a 25hp kit for the van :)
Either that or a better turbo!

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

i i stick with a t3 i was thinking about a 25bhp kit for preboost

Increase the CR?

Might have little affect on spool times, but will help the car feel less laggy.

In the 13's at last!.. Just

Laughing gas is the only proper answer !!

Go for it - you can only blow the engine.

i had an idea a couple of years ago about mixing liquid oxygen in with fuel? or injecting it. would that work or would it just melt the engine as if it had thermite in there?

pretty much the thermite route,

Nitrous oxide is 1/3 oxygen 2/3 Nitrogen, apparently the nitrogen acts as a coolant and using just O2 would not be good!

if iy's about the engine getting hot, you are certainly not using enough advance , it will also help ith your boost feling. though be carefull with this.too much and byby.
