51117, Need Accelaration
Posted by mitifto, May-13-03 03:29 PM
I have a RS with a stage 2 start kit and apex 3 " exhaust. The car does have power now but my accel sucks. Anyway I could add accel without doing the bottom end on the car. Like tranny mods or other mods. Thanx

How much boost are you running? Any room to turn it up?

Nope running 8 psi right now. Thinking about cams but how much more power can I add before the engine needs to be built up? Just finished beating a wrx but lost to another just becuase accel

Get a lightened flywheel...I just had mine put on a couple weeks ago and it really helped accelaration...especially in 5th gear

When I installed my Fidanza aluminum flywheel I noticed a great increase in acceleration and deceleration, it especially helps if your turbo, because you'll spool faster.

Cams should give you a good gain. The stock cams suck big green donkey balls.

What about a larger TB. This will help the Feel of quicker response on the throttle. Might be just enough before the boost kicks in.
