At what spped does the Turbos come on?

shodanusmc · 03-26-2009, 07:56 AM

If you got WOT I am sure they must fire up, but what about at normal driving? IS there any specific speed that they come on? 30, 40, 50 MPH?

jeremyc74 · 03-26-2009, 08:00 AM

They're always on. They're making plenty of boost before 2k RPMs under load.

Well, thats mostly true, depending on which software version you have. Some versions have jack and shit for boost below 2000 rpm.

I think you guys are confusing the turbos for the Flux Capacitor. That comes in at 88 mph. Turbos are fully up at very low rpms.

Yeah, that was an interesting thread. As if people would be fooled!

arok · 03-26-2009, 06:08 PM

haha i used to be on nabsico a lot...

but yeah, gotta be careful when the turbos turn on and the vtech engages, you could really mess up your steering fluid manifold

Dont forget about your exhaust bearings and blinker fluid. You could lose all your blinker fluid if your turbos spool at the same time as VTEC kicks in y0. That would be a catastropic fail.
