you are not gettin good HP cause the max HP is way past your redline. the turbo isnt even fully spooled when you hit redline with a turbo that big.
shredding tires if fun...its the torque that makes you win races...power is pointless if you cant put it to the ground

i agree, your using a turbo thats way too big for your application. the biggest isnt always the best. i would work with different combos of what you have laying around and find something that spools quicker and provides the best boost to redline

What size injectors? I hope not the stock 240CC injectors..........
What motor? I hope not a D17.......That turbo is WAAAY too huge for the 101.7 CID we have.......Not to mention, even at 15 PSI on that turbo, there must be some crazy compressor surge and immense heat.........that turbo is meant to be operating at 2 BAR plus..........Look @ the compressor map.
Lag...........you would have to have literally 10,000 RPMS of rev in a D17 to see somewhat decent power through less than half of the RPM band...............

That turbo is too big for any Honda 4 cylinder, unless that motor is built to be strong and to rev to a stupid high rev limit.
Unless you're building a drag only car that you can use a 2 step to spool at the line and nitrous, you're wasting a lot of time and money with a turbo that big.

Rep Power: 0 B18C1? B18C5? What? Be a little more specific. Generally on 15lb/in^2, a B18C* will make around ~300hp. Varies with setup. Before I can help you, you need to specify what you have.
