your driving it like a supercharged car.
That is what I am coming from. Before this car the last one was supercharged.

What converter is in this car stall diameter etcThat is what I am coming from. Before this car the last one was supercharged.
ouch.you have to have power to 60ft leaving a 5 psi at 2500rpm and riding the rpm climb and boost climb is not the best way to drop a killer 60ft.

yes, think about it if it doesnt come on till 100ft your way past the 60ft when getting into powerIt is lazy to about 100 feet then comes to life. So a looser converter will help this ?
i didnt even think you could get them that tight,not sure why anyone would even try but you coulkd try leaving on boost next time to see if it will leave on power,but 2500 stall is just too loose inmo for a 66/68 turbo.a 3200/3600 stall would lite it up fast and you could drive it more like a supercharged combo because it would rpm and build boost alot faster but not shock the tire due to the slippage9.5 inch diameter
2500 stall speed
i will guess big shaftBeing new to the turbo world, I don’t know if it is a big shaft or a small shaft.
It is a 2007 unit
attaboybut I see a converter change in my future.
a 66 cast is bigger and heavier than your 61 and the biggest factor is really the 68 ex wheel.its real heavy and bigger all in all just not close to what your running.even with higher compression a 66/68 wont work with a stall below 3200 and that is border line.i ran a high comp motor with a billet bb 64mm comp wheel (alot lighter and blows away a 66 cast from spool to airflow)with a 68 ex wheel and it needed a 3200 stall with alot of flash stall.miss the flash stall regardless of tune and it wont spool up before a gear change.all the 6668 cars i have seen and driven that were responsive needed a 3400 to 3800 with good flash stall.My TE61 and 2800 9x11 leaving @2800 0psi does 1.65 on foot brake.
love that turbo64mm hpc street brawler

thats what hard to figure out over the internetI was making the point of building a combo........
I get my converters from bill at edge racing converters . They are really reasonably priced . I would get a 3000-3200 stall lock up . Why would you go that low when the stock converter is looser then that ? It will drive just fine on the streets to if that’s what u are worried about .
