Message	[.........................] j/k From the GTX world, running higher compression with less peak boost provides more low end torque (323 is 1.6 or 1.8 liters), better gas mileage, better driveability. More real world power, vs peak max 7500 rpm power. I think smaller turbos would still have lag, and less low end power than the higher compression low boost motor. fwiw: The new MazdaSpeed6, runs 10:_ compression and 14 pounds of boost on it's 2.3 liter, direct gas injection 4 cylinder. IMHO -Todd
Follow Ups	Congrats Scotts94z32, Makes me happy to see a sp500 - Eishozzz 05:06:40 01/04/05 he has NA rear end (n/m) - Jzx (next-gear.com) 05:31:42 01/04/05 500 rwhp can be obtained with sport 500s and manifolds, - neurozurgeon 08:43:46 01/04/05 I like having 500 rwhp on pump gas with room to spare. - Woody75 (Denver) 09:16:20 01/04/05 To each his own... - neurozurgeon 09:54:26 01/04/05 You missed my point. I'm not talking about track power. - Woody75 (Denver) 10:01:56 01/04/05 How would you classify theses turbos>> - XTZ2 10:39:42 01/04/05 If you want a pure track car, they are not the ones to get. - Woody75 (Denver) 11:21:11 01/04/05 ditto... we could have easily gotten to 500RWHP, but I was - Scotts94z32 10:51:31 01/04/05 You say your turbos are putting out more power than claimed> - XTZ2 09:55:20 01/04/05 he's been changing and tuning as to get the most performance - DragonSi 10:01:54 01/04/05 Not at all. Turbo is staying the same. (n/m) - Woody75 (Denver) 10:02:55 01/04/05 When I bought my turbos they were very under rated. - Woody75 (Denver) 10:09:25 01/04/05 what're you planning on changing to compensate for lag? - Rbadger 11:24:58 01/04/05 Cams/head work and higher compression. (n/m) - Woody75 (Denver) 11:30:27 01/04/05 higher compression is going to adversely affect max boost - Rbadger 12:00:41 01/04/05 Max power is overrated. Useable power is where it's at. (n/m) - nixit 12:19:14 01/04/05 i know that...i'm just trying to understand... - Rbadger 12:23:10 01/04/05 what I know on the subject - SactoTodd 12:45:42 01/04/05 I was hoping you would comment on my dyno post... - Scotts94z32 12:29:24 01/04/05 i glanced. - nixit 12:50:34 01/04/05 depends - PhishZ 12:34:42 01/04/05 Re: depends - nixit 12:47:31 01/04/05 Yep, those are the ones. And I think they are 9.2:1 - Woody75 (Denver) 13:29:17 01/04/05
