Bobbeh Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Around 4.3k, and yes you can hear it increase general engine noise (For #2 turbo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Even in stock form you should definately feel it, between 3800k & 4500k depending what gear your in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I feel a very definite surge at 4000. It's great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 The first does kick in early but it just feels like rapid acceleration. Number two comes in before 4K but really seems to give it large at that point. I can hear my first turbo from about 1800 rpm depending on road surface, radio volume etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 When i was uk stock. I found that i often couldnt notice the turbos kicking in just smooth power. Maybe in 1st gear (auto) you could feel no. 2 kick in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seb Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 First is around 1500-2000, and in J-Specs you can really hear it. You won't really hear the second one as there's more engine noise by then, but that ones comes in at the kind of revs people have mentioned.

I can hear my first turbo from about 1800 rpm depending on road surface, radio volume etc etc. sounds about right then, the first turbo i can hardly hear, if i hear it at all (depending on noise), it just feels like a burst of power from just under 2000 revs. then when i reach about 3500 revs you can really' hear the turbo whistle! cheers guys my wednesday lesson is over.....same time tomorrow?

Seb, Risking a thread hijack, does the aristo have the same sort of kick at 4K? Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 4k theres a sudden surge forward. You can clearly hear the first one whistling from about 1800, but not really the second one due to engine noise.

chilli Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I get some positive boost from 1500rpm where you start to hear turbo #1 spooling up, it get's up to .8bar quite quickly from there. Second one kicks in from around 4k rpm or so, where you just hear more woosh as the thing boosts to 1.2 bar (BPU). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
