RedM Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Like the title asks,when can you hear turbo one. I can only hear it at just before 2000 rpm. I'm pretty sure that it was lower before today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markssupra Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 I thought no.1 starts spooling about 1500 rpm, but i dont start to see any boost until 2000rpm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted March 4, 2006 Author Share Posted March 4, 2006 That seems about right. The other night, very late at night, I stopped at the start of a DCW and pressed the loud pedal fairly gently, just increasing slightly over time so as too avoid dropping into overdrive. I noticed this: Increase in speed with no extra throttle at 1500+ with turno one whistling at 2000. Steady acceleration upto 4000 RPM accompanied by an increased roar from tubby two. Very noticeable surge in speed from 4000 onwards. Sound about right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markssupra Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Sounds about right. Definate rear end kick when no.2 comes online while giving it some stick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesmark Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 yip your telling me, i have been so lucky with cars i have owned appx 15 cars and not one has ever went wrong apart from the usual wear and tear but i have seriously got a dud i am going to shell out £200 to get the car on a jigg to see if the chassie has got a twist in it .................then it could be as little as £300 to get it fixed but it could go on to £900 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesmark Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 i think a few of us are having probs with the sub zero temps at the moment mate. re avaluate in a few weeks mate. mines aint cause by cold weather, i think the supras chassie is twisted slighty as passenger side front is raised about 1 inch, i have brand new wheels and tyres and brand new suspension all round all less than 1 month old, it was raised before i got everyhting changed and still is raised so getting it put on a jigg in april to find out if it is that, i must admit i hoping it has got a twist in it then i can get it taken out but its exspensive as if its not a twist then its something else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carl0s Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Starts whistling from about 1800 on my UK car. Lighter Jap ceramics would probably start a touch earlier. After decatting I can here it like mad - with the stock exhaust and no cats it was mental driving through parked cars either side, sounded like the Starship Enterprise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
