That's a very interesting post, basically he has a M62 and a Turbo on the same car, above a certain rpm threshold, when the turbo should be boosting, he bypasses the M62, and runs off the turbo.



The only problem is that he is using it on a honda -- note how the torque doesn't built until 3500 rpm... what fun is that?

I want torque at 1500 rpm...

This echoes, what I have been convinced of for a few years. In a force induction situation, the best way to obtain even torque from low to high rpms, is to use both, a Super + Turbo, or Dual-Sequential, or Twin-Charging (ala VW), or whatever you want to call it.

I suspect if he was running a b20, instead of the b16, he'd see a bit more torque. I'd still wager a FE-DOHC in a similar setup would be much more satisfying.... but that's my bias.

I've driven a integra GSR, and I'll have to say, it's fun at 7-8k rpm, but...
I'll take the 3-5k of F2T torque over that 7-8k rpm b18 driving any day...
