I was thinking...........(scary) Does a 200 WHP turbo car feels as torquey? (sp) as a 150 WHP NA car? I used to love revving high on the freeway in 3rd gear when my car was NA and was just hoping I would feel that same rush if not more from a turbo. This is my first turbo and want that torque feel still. (200 WHP is the DE w/ a T25,370's,fmic,pulleys and S3's)

You will make as much more tq as you will hp by turboing your car. It will be a huge rush compared to NA.

and with a small turbo, i.e. T25, T28, you will feel it (torque) a lot sooner!!

Cool, I was still hoping that I would still get the "put you in the back of your seat" feel from a turbo!!!! probably a stupid question because I would assume that torque is torque but it seems like a know alot less the more and more I research. I can't even remember when my car was NA when my torque was high. I think around 4000rpm. So you are saying that I will feel that much torque @3000 rpm?

You don't know "put you in the back of your seat" until you go turbo.:)

my car would want to put me in the trunk when ever i gunned it.....ahhh AWD aint it lovely:D

w/ a T25 you should feel that feeling @3K, I promise it'll be much more dramatic than N/A. think about it, your getting N/A torque, plus the turbo's torque, how could it be less??

not exactly the correct way to word it, but it gives you the idea

Torque is Torque and turbos on Sr20's make a good amount of it :) You'll be very happy. The best feeling I've ever had was driving a Miata with a T-3 at 12psi. That really put you in your seat :D

GTBB37+C1 cams+20psi=ass firmly planted:D

On my NX, at stock boost, all hell brakes loose at 3-3.5K RPM in 1st and 2nd (lots of torque steer and squealing tires):D

Look at my sig to see my power numbers with a stock exhaust and TMIC.

You guys are getting me all EXCITED to drive mine. Hopefully this Sat with the help of two of my friends I will be able to feel the power you speak of!!!:D

I dont get pushed back into my seat until 4500 but after that, goodbye!!!!!!!!!! Head back or your going to get whiplash:D

^^^^^^^^

thats when i get traction:rolleyes: not often

do you have the stage 5, w/ .82 A/R?

turbo tq feels way smoother and much more effortless. none of the harsh, shaky feel that NA gives you, just a (relatively) quiet rush of power.

stock de torque is 130-133lb
stock bb det is 200lb at 6-7psi
there is your answer

I know a turbo has more torque but I was thinking that the motor might rev so fast that you don't get to feel it as well as NA. Thas is me being a stupid turbo newbie, I am hoping the FMIC and cams also add to the power. 225WHP is my goal. (for now)

I lose to stock SE-R's with their timing advanced to 17 degrees all the time due to the massive amount of torque they have over me :p

if you keep the exhaust at least 2.5" mandrel all the way it will feel fine.
