Weird sensation in fifth gear at max boost. Juddery a bit like a limiter?

[grinder]

yeah your not kidding - i think a twin turbo is a whole different ball game

and you have to think

1 - the FC turbo isnt exactly the biggest of things
2 - you are looking at nearly 20 yr old technology

[Prof]

At 80 in 5th you should have at least 3300 RPM on the clock, (I\'m doing 100 at 4000 RPM - private road of course), so the turbo should be ready very as soon as you go heavy on the right foot.  It\'s not instantaneous - but it should accelerate and begin to do so more rapidly !!

i know its a slight derail but since you chaps are online - what size magnecor leads do I need for an FC?

also what difference does the size make?

[grinder]

it does accelerate just not as quick as if you drop to 4th

like i said - if i floor it in 5th at 80 i get lots and lots of boost pressure and just what doesnt seem like a massive increase in speed

at this point im usually chasing FD\'s and they leave me for dead anyways ( and when i tried it with a GT3RS - that left me aswell)

maybe against a normal run of the mill car - then yeah i bet it does open a nice gap

maybe im just getting used to it ?

[grinder]

i use blue ones - think they are 7mm

no idea what the size does to be honest - i would assume there is less resitance and a better spark

there is a new FC parts thread ( shy auto ) and the leads are VERY cheap !

doh I followed the wrong one

[grinder]

ha ha ha ha - like i said - i use the blue ones ( 7mm i think ) they are just fine - come with 100,000KMS warranty and unlike the local car factor places - they actually fit !

[Prof]

I have the red ones in my vert - Rotechniks put those in on the last rebuild.  (Sorry - disappeared to watch \'Waking the Dead\' part 2)
 
They add much needed colour !:D

NOW if you had a FD - you can prob go to WOT in 5th at 80 and it will pull like a train - thats they nice side of a twin turbo

Stu

Yes it does :Thumbsup! :evillaugh
