Turbo Spool Time Increase
Turbo Spool Time Increase So I have an F-body with a built LS1, 317 heads, and an On3Performance a/c delete turbo kit. The turbo is a 76mm with a .80 a/r
I have had this for about 2 years and I have decided that I would like to see if I could get a turbo that spools up basically twice as fast, along with some other changes coming down the pipe. Dumb logic says that if I want one that spools twice as fast, then do half the a/r rating and half the size. But I have no clue really. Is there anything I should be looking at when shopping turbos for specific spooling time? Anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!

Here are the 0n3 turbo specs

A 65mm wheel on a front mount LS should spool nasty quick. Either you have an exhaust leak between the motor and the turbo or your tune needs work. You should be commanding close to NA timing and AFR until you're making a couple PSI, then drop the timing and richen the AFR. What does it spool at now?
Maybe it's being greedy but I don't see why I couldn't feel full boost at 3k rpm or less.
The AFR is 14.7 until i see about 2 psi. Unsure about the timing, I could ask about that

Verdad Gallardo Just driving it around I feel full spool around 3800 RPM, maybe a little less, driving hard and watching the dash is tough

Like others said, your 7665 should spool pretty damn fast. Are you using a boost controller? What boost?

14.7, who tuned this thing? Poor thing needs fuel to make power to get going! Should be 12.8 or so tipping in to WOT NA (95-100kpa), hold 12.5 or so for a few psi, then taper down to your desired max boost at 11.5 (which it seems that part is there, sounds like you just need to work on the middle).

Manual boost controller, currently it pushes 13psi at WOT
The car is mainly a street car, which gets driven daily. The desire for a 14.7 ratio was to keep the mpg in check so that trips to the station didn't happen daily. I will put 300 miles on this car in one day, just high way driving if i have things to do that day.

Usually an electronic controller will get things spooled quicker then a manual one. But I would fix the fueling before you go throwing more boost at it faster.
Right! LOL Although in the LSA world I've seen some tuners not have them far off.
