turbo lag

In the video I posted I rolled into the throttle around 1800rpms. Rolling start.
Perhaps like myself, he wonders what it would be like to run a big single. The simplicity seems to be a + and there is far less junk to worry about mess with when it comes time to wrench on the vehicle. Purely a guess..
Purely out of curiosity from the times I see people say they spool quick. I had read things like that in the past, and when I found the 366/480 setup I had a completely different idea of what spool up should have been vs actual.
I'm happy with my setup, just not what I expected from lurking on the forum. I did not post this thread because I'm unhappy.
A single would be much simpler under the hood, especially with a tall pedestal that you can get your hands in and around easily. Wouldn't be very hard to switch mine over either but I doubt I will ever do that.
ah i see. yeah i know what you mean. seems everyone's interpretation of "no lag" is different and dependent on your driving behavior

obviously I didn't roll into it hard, but I let it go all the way to idle then got back on it

coker i have to agree with u bro i rode in a 366/480 truck a 475 over stock truck and as you told me the 475 over stock truck was better for a daily driver but the 475 truck spooled about the same speed as the 366/480 imo but all 3 had different tuners and all sorts of other variables but there is no joy like the joy of a s472 or s475 lighting and all hell breaks loose
In my video on youtube its from a dead standstill with no boost. Just stabbed the throttle and went. You can see it lights around 1700-2000 rpms, but it still pulls hard before it lights. But when it lights it will bend the boost guage needle it hits so hard.
Not to speak for Russell, but since I talk to him on a regular basis about his truck, I feel I know where he is coming from. I don't think he has a problem at all with the way it spools from a stop or rolling around with the converter locked. I think his biggest gripe is when he is driving around at about 65-70 MPH with a locked converter in 6th with the engine lugging along at about 1600-1700 RPM. When he rolls into it, the turbos just don't respond like he's used to with a stock turbo. I think he's just wanting to see how a big single and other larger non stock turbo setups compare to his. Sorry if I'm out of line here, Russell.
I know on my old set of twins (366/4718), they really seemed to come alive around 1800 RPM, but I also had an aftermarket cam and a T3 gated 366 instead of a T4 non gated 366 like he has. Personally, I think he would be a little happier with the T3 housing.

You are spot on josh, perfect summary. They run great and tow even better! It's just when you are under them it's crazy dead. When towing, the extra heat starts to bring them to life around 1800 and will pull a house down at 2200. Just a matter of staying on top of them.
Maybe I just need a small shot of "street" nitrous! Lol

I totally agree Josh the t4 should spool a bit better thats what i have i still have a touch of lag but my truck has never been finsihed tuned it had a hot tune loaded into it the day at the track and it has never been looked at again so mine should get a little better.I can roll into it at 1500 1600 and it starts to get moving and i turn day into night.
Gonna be a bit before i can get you a video Russ pulling my cab to do head gaskets now.Why dont you try a t3 with a gate?

I also did the turbo blankets and i double wraped the hot exhaust pipe from the 366 to the 483 and the down pipe off the 483 heading out back.I wanted the heat to stay in the turbos as much as possible for them to spool quicker.
I need blankets for sure, never did get with the guy on here (Ely I think?). My exhaust pipes are rapped between the 66 and 80 and a little ways down the down pipe. When I do the block off plate for the wastegate I may take and double rap the pipe between the 66 and 80 to help hold more heat in.
Head gaskets already?? what happened?
