hey guys, afew questions..

was look at some turbo kits and i noticed one had a twin external gate setup on a hks t04e turbo, any reason why they would have this? twin gates hold better boost than 1?

would it be needed for high boost applications where 2gates could hold 20psi better than one?

and also custom oil lines, where to go for this? can you use some braided lines? im located in melbourne, if anyone can point me in the right way, would be appreciated!

thanks

Nate

Why dont you look @ the thread on the R31 forums where i've already posted about that stupid twin gate setup???

*sigh*

2 gates wont hold boost better than one

brainded lines - enzed where i get mine

My thoughts, 2 wastegates would be better than one for low boost on big turbos, blah blah.

reason being that you can dump more exhaust from the engine and control low boost better.

When you have hig boost, you don't need to dump much air because your using it to energise the compressor.

Edit: P.S. - who want's low boost on a big turbo car?

And Nate31, I just tried to squash a bug on my screen which turned out to be your sig...

    • Good to hear. Hopefully you're happy enough not to notice when driving and just enjoy yourself.
    • I mean, most of us just love cars. Doesnt necessarily have to be a skyline.
    • Did you pick up a manual cluster to remove the position indicator?  (Pretty sure the 34 has the gear position in the cluster, but it's been a while)
    • Here is a recipe. Sonic blocks till you get one that has a good enough bore. Get a torque plate and block brace, use your choice of fasteners (arp ect) bolt the thing together empty, half fill it and let it cure. Release it when it has, go to a REPUTABLE RB Builder and get the thing line bored/honed and cylinder honed to size, then wash. Once its all clean and dandy, wash and blow it out again. Then again.  Assemble said engine to your desired clearances with oil control mods, gasket to suit desired CR/Squish ect. Attach your extended sump with proper trap door oil baffles and head drain plumbed to sump with a SUMP BREATHER SYSTEM. Build your front diff with a decent LSD, rebuild your transfer case with a few extra plates, more than likely replace your tailshaft centre bearing and tighten up the rear diff. Tune to minimise excessive midrange cylinder pressure (timing unless you like to split bores and rebuild engines) Enjoy your engine, but hate the fact you are now destroying engine mounts, gearboxes, gearbox mounts, diff output flanges and driveshafts, diff mounts, tailshafts and front CV's.   Disclaimer.... Ive never done any of the aforementioned stuff.......
    • 440s will support well over 400HP on petrol, which is a decent place to be for an RB20. 230+rwkW. Will be a safer bet for idle/low load. 550s would be nice for the extra headroom. I've made the same decision with mine (Neo25). 1000s are probably too big for the Nistuned ECU, so I have some smaller ones.
