How to get torque up?

Post by Anton »

Was looking at Cursed_s13's ad to sell his s13 and saw that his car is doing 140rwk and 344nm, now my s13 did 170rwk but 280nm?? How does one get the nm of the car up?

The only way to get more torque is more boost, or a bigger cc engine.

Hey dude,

As I have experianced, 1Bar when your car is settup right and 1 Bar when it is not, are 2 VERY diffirent things. Eg. My car was under advanced, was pulling 1 Bar and bluuuu... Put put put . . . Cough, Die. was all I got, changed the timing and advanced it a bit and I was pulling like a beyach on 1Bar.

P.S. Not saying your car is not settup right, just that there is a LOT to look at, first ensure all the rest is hundreds before upping boost n stuff.

Just a theory but how big is your intercooler?

I have read that a big intercooler will benefit your kw but not the torque.
My SX puts 144kw at the wheels and only 260nm torque but i have a 600X300X76mm FMIC, I have heard that for me to increase mine i have to up my boost which makes sense.

just my 2c

you are only going to get so much torque from a 1.8l. Cursed was running a CA20DET i think.

On my CA18 i got 148rwkw and 280nm at speedshops dyno. iirc garys 200kw beast only does about 330nm

Yeah Rat is right, I did 198RwKw and 330nm. If you want more torque you can increase the weight of the flywheel, mine is super light which is why I only have 330nm. Tuning will effect the torque aswell.

I got from alert spares a week ago, cheap, but not the "decent" brand...
