Narrow power band

Post by Sigve_B »

Was doing some gravel drifting and had big problems with the narrow power band so just wondered if its normal for the starion to hit max boost at around 4000rpm+ and just keep going strong to 5500rpm ? Got an 2.5" exhaust intercooler and greenfilter no other mods..
Would like to have max boost at around 3000rpm ? any tips ?

Thanks Sigve

400hp at the wheels?
U got a lotta work ahead of you if your going twincam to make that power, and a fairly impossible challenge if ur attempting it from sohc.

If you got a turbo designed for a high hp 2.3l and wacked it onto a 2l stocker it'd perform worse than the stock tc-06

Nothing wrong with aiming high :) My head work guy says its possible, got some advance computer simulating program that calculates Hp and NM even in a graph like at the dynos... gonna run E85 fuel so there is some Hp to gain there... :)
