LCR power Loss

[cuprakhan]

Owdo,

Just got myself a 53 LCR and I really love it but I have noticed a hefty dip in power after every gear change, it only lasts about 1-2sec but its a real pain in the doodar.

Just wondered if this is normal on LCR's or is it something more sinister.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers.

have you driven a turbo before? keep the revs up and change gear quicker...

classic turbo lag surely.........?

This is one of the hardest thing i've done today, but i'm going to answer sensibly.

"Just wondered if this is normal on LCR's or is it something more sinister" - Yes this is normal.

You release the power (diverter valve opens boost drops) you change gear / you readd power / turbo spools / (0.5-2 seconds later) = POWER

Cheers MC -No, this is the first turbo I've had so Im breaking myself in gently, thanks for the advice.

Wackojacko - Thanks for the info, nice & easy to followfor a newbie like me. Just out of interest do you think a decent Dump Valve (i.e. Forge) would make any difference.

Once again, cheers for the help guys.

get yourself a forge 007p. its a direct replacement for the standard bosch plastic thing and i noticed a difference in throttle response. plus when you get your car re-mapped the original DV is likely to split under the increased boost
