RPM range for low, medium, and high turbos

[mamann]

Can someone tell me what the rpms are for low range turbo, medium range turbo and high range turbos. I hope I am asking this correctly for I really want an answer to this question. I have started turning my cars a bit differently and I think they are running faster. thanks:idea:

They change where the boost comes in and fades away.

High RPM provides the most power 99% of the time, as it provides full boost at the end of the RPM range.

Mid RPM turbo provides full boost half way towards the end of the rev range, therfor hits the torque band more, providing more torque and in some situations, due to this higher torque, provides more power than high RPM turbo.

Low RPM Turbo provides full boost at very low revs, not very useful in most situations.



These turbo's don't actually have a rev range they work best in, its just, beginning, middle or end of your current cars rev range.

thank you...I have in a couple of cases in the last 24hrs. move my turbo from high to medium range for tracks with only a few long straights, like Nur last nite I set the turbo to medium range and came in second in a field of 900hp to 700hp. where they got me was on the mile straight at the end but it was certainly fun to give it a go. I was driving Nissan Xanavi Nismo GT-R '08.
Drove "Nur" expert serives Gran Turismo all stars race 3. really fun!!
I needed a bit more top speed and if I had not ran off the track a couple of time I may have won anyway. going to try again in a few...thank-you

Did you adjust the transmission? If you lengthen the gear ratios you should have enough speed to stay in front.

I'm not sure I know how to lengthen the gear ratios...I know how to set the top speed higher and I know that changes the gears, but not sure if they are lengthen or what..

If you lengthen the gear ratios the top speed will be higher but the acceleration will be reduced, right?

Top speed depends on final gear ( meaning rear end gear, NOT tranny gear) and what your last gear is set at, ie 5th ot 6th ect. Smaller gear ratios say, ( final gear in rear) 2.95 dont have the acceleration to get off the line fast, no matter what gears are in your tranny, But will have a higher top speed.Something with a gear ratio of like 3.55 will have faster acceleration, but less top speed.( unless you make final tranny gear shorter .0598 as an example) to help gain some higher speeds.So let that be a hint to those who drag race

Ok but if you lower your top speed acceleration will be greater and if you increase the top speed, acceleration will be reduced, right?

ok here is what I did being I didn't know what I was really doing. I copied down the gear ratios and then went and set the top speed to 224...then I went back and set the gears ratios to there original numbers...worked find until i got to 5th gear. 5th is suppose to be 1.178, I have 1.176. 6th gear is suppose to be 0.993 and I have 0.958 and final gear 3.500. That is the only way I could figure out how to do it...

I know that is right but I always wondered what happened to the gears changing until it hits last gears, that why I started watching the ratos of the gears before I set the top speed. I think the closer the gears are the faster they will change and I am trying to get the speed in the gears as well as the top speed. it also has something to do with how quick the car is.
