turbo lower FC

save fuel??... BOT can lower fuel consumption??...
Luke,
on a long journey, assuming you want to maintain a constant 120kmh.
on the uphill sections, unlike an NA which will have to downshift to maintain a constant speed, turbo cars just have to press the throttle to boost power. the high revving NA will be consuming more fuel than the high torque turbocar.
a turbo car of the same displacement unfortunately will have a higher FC for stop go city driving. this is due to exhaust inefficiencies aka turbolag (lack of the FORCE hahah)
Billy,
Im also in the process of building a kit for my engine, which is similar to yours, 4g13. What are u using for fuelling and ignition tuning? which ECU u using now?
i was planning to use 2"-2.2" exhaust piping....intake piping 2"...
good job on your project! hope all turns out well.....
i wish the people who discourage u just eat a bag of d**ks! haha.....dont disturb the person who is doing it......get a decent book on welding and upgrade yourselves la..... sometimes i ask myself, is this forum is for people who really mod cars.....
and to those who said you are wasting your money, pls note, that you still can use back your turbo, icooler, intake piping, piggyback etc etc if you decide to transplant to bigger cc engine....heheh.....so there!
