its a good newbie question but i was just wondering because i've never really felt the experiance of getting into boost in a car so i mean if anyone can tell me the basics and if anyone could also tell me the best and easyiest way to find out that my turbo isn't siezed up.

1) rapid acceleration

2) loud hissing noise from right side of engine





you will know...

ohand a boost gauge helps so you know what psi you are hitting

I was about to say, Get a boost gauge. Dam too slow

if you don't feel anything you've got serious problems. Boost is a very distinct feeling. You'll know if your getting it.

yah unless something is wrong, just hand over the keys....

whats the hand over the keys part mean?

if you cant tell boost from not boost, you need an na...

jay....ull feel it...give the car WOT and go high in the rpm...ull feel the boost...and hear it

I have a feeling I'm going to be spending some time with this car https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

yes lots pen. lol... i still need lots of help figuring out the electrical gremlin

Me to but I got a couple books coming in the mail about that electrical madness!That should help alot combined with these great usefull people of the forum.Now as soon as I get a FC or FD I will be learning first hand.Only time will tell between heaven and hell.

What does boost feel like?



Imagine having an orgasm, but you don't have to clean up afterwards.

haha i was just gonna say an orgasm... like "umm is this it, no is this it?no is this...OHHHH ****"

Here's the description of vosko's turbo spooling that I gave my friends.



1 thousand rpms...2 thousand rpms....3 thousa...OH MY GOD WHAT'S GOING ON?!?!?!



If it doesn't feel at least slightly like that, something's up.

lol hell yea i mean i drove the car down my street and drove it pretty hard with one of my friends in it and he bout pissed his pants along with me... and ever since hes trying to get his 78 Starefire GT to beat my car and hes always asking me "if i did this would it beat your car" and i keep telling him that he would need to put about 15k into his 6cyl. in order to beat mine.... and about 3 of my friends all are trying to find RX7s and one even bought an FD

thats another question of mine... at what rpm does the stock turbo spool up so i can expect it. and is there something on this forum of the basic "turbo Terms"

The stock turbo with no leaks spools pretty low, like 2750.

untill what rpm ? all the way up?

Ummm yeah till you shift.

And it makes a hissing noise, then you start over again.

is there anywhere on the forums it can tell me the basics of turbos like spooling up and the terms and ****

Try the FAQ, although I'm not really sure what's in there, because I know everything. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

lol that wasn't conseedid but i will check the FAQ but is there like a Turbo FAQ?

here ya go

http://auto.howstuffworks.com/turbo.htm

haha https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif

Sweet i printed off a bunch of pictures and **** from the FAQ i'm just trying to get some basic terms in my head

ugh its sooo high i hate it....



my mr2 spooled at 2400 ..... but oh well i guess thats the price you pay when you have a bigger turbo

what you mean its so high you hate it... and if the stock turbo spools up at like 2750 does that mean that if i dump the clutch for a launch at 3000 rpms that i'm launching with boost? and when your in nuetral and reving is the turbo still spooling at that rpm?

https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif What about the turbo spools at about 2750 do you not understand? How would you stop the turbos from spooling if you were revving the engine? Turbos are exhaust driven, meaning if you are making exhaust then you are driving the turbo.

thanks for the attitude dick head... there was no need for that... somtimes i can be stupid so bare with me

Dude, I don't have an attitude, just use your damn head once in a while, will you? Do you seriously mean to tell me that until the other day you had absolutely no idea at the theory behind how turbochargers work (ie exhaust driven)?

dude cmon hes learning



not everyone knows about a turbo - think all saab turbo ladys know what that noise is or whatever



i used to mess with him but i think its great that hes 16 and this is his first car...let alone a project car....not many 16 year olds pick up a project FC turbo for their first car

hes learning a lot while hes doing it too so its good



at least hes 1 step ahead and has an rx7

LOL, I understand he is learning but just from the number of posts he has you can tell he spends a decent amount of time on the forum. How could you not pick up on how turbos work as much as they are discussed, and with as many pictures as are thrown up here? Yeah, yeah he has a 7, but if I found a deal like that I would too. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/tongue.png

well i did know that a turbo charger compresses air i didn't know however that it was exhaust driven untill i went into the "single turbo discussion" where i printed off many pictures and diagrams of the turbo chargers. yes i am on here alot because latly i've needed alot of help with certain things that i had NO CLUE of untill i hit this forum and people sorounded me with help and sugestions. and i will admit.... i didn't not know how much car i had and what i was getting into when i bought the car (i knew it was a project that was going to take me a while though) but i had absoulutly no idea of its rotory engine. But this car and this forum has opened me up to a whole new world of automotiveness... and this turbo just opened me up to whole differant automotive situation as well. i donno thats my view on this stuff... i love it... love to be around cars... i mean **** sometimes i'll just sit in my car and dream ... and look and stare at it for a half hour at a time (as bad as that sounds) and for all of you that are giving me that help thank you so much it really helps alot... and i can take a little criticizam (spelled that wrong) and dont mind it but seriously trying to make fun of somone and there efforts to learn is kinda dumb.

iono
