You get alot of keyboard commandos on forums, pay no attention to them. ;)

nice power though, too bad about the massive lag, i thought my car was laggy! and i'd be getting a second oppinion on the whole wastegate too small idea...

well first stage of tunning was carried out today, but apparently my 50mm trust wastegate is to small can anyone recommend somthing they have used on a hks t51r. what size or brand would be the best to use..

we only got 590 rear wheel hp on pump fuel no noz.

Assuming all is as it seems, and the quoted numbers are correct..............

The wastegate sizing formula

Airflow in lbs per minute = diameter of wastegate in mm X boost correction factor

The 50 mm wastegate is not too small for 582 rwhp and 1 bar.

The turbo is too big for for 582 rwhp and 1 bar.

I guess that's what happens when you use a turbo designed for 800 rwhp and 2 bar

So you have a choice, increase the power and boost, in which case the wastegate will be the right size.

Or use a more appropriately sized turbo, it's a waste at the moment.

You have the lag of an 900 bhp turbo with the power of of a 650 bhp turbo

:D cheers :)

i think a noz shot should spool it up a bit quicker i have a 100 shot waiting to go in but with the wastegate i was told they cant control the boost through the wastegate thats y they said it was to small maybe their is somthing else wrong i am open to sugestion as i dont no everything about boost and wastegates... :D

i dont have one showing boost sorry but i do remember looking at it on the dyno computer it just went up and kept going didnt level out at all they said the engine limiter was 8500 revs and the turbo hadnt reached full power the line kept going straight up.....

Id kindly ask your tuner to print off a boost and power vs rpm graph and that may shed some light on whether the wastegate is the problem. I suggest a smaller turbo if your not going to boost it harder as the turbo has not even reached is efficiency range yet...HKS state 1.4-2.0 bar for this turbo.

if that is the case there is a big problem. if boost is constantly climbing (which having too small a wastegate would cause) then why is it only reaching 1 bar at 9000rpm? that is insane lag.

the problem is the boost is still climbing so maybe their is a hole in the diaphram i tried reversing the solinoid it went straight to 2 bar ...

so the boost was still climbing...to what...1bar... then they backed off ??

your power graph does not appear that they backed off

did you build this thing to drag...or potter around car parks

i suggest you get another opinion...take the car to Mark Jacobsen, he's experienced with these set-up's

something here does not add up!!

well, is it controling boost? like not boost creaping up top?

thats the bottom line, who cares about the size of the turbo...

if anything the biger the turbine the smaller the gate needed. as more gass needs to pass thru the turbo to make boost...

ahh, woops. what pressure is it stable at?

yes its too small get e bigger one. period. perhaps a hks one thats meant to go with the kit

have we got mark jacobsons number ,,,, also if their was a hole in the diaphram would that cause the boost to climb.

yes, i have Marks number...PM me your mobile and ill forward it to him.

If there was a hole in the diaphram you would have no boost control...as you swapped the hoses over and got 2 bar tells me its ok.

the boost to climb to what?? 1 bar.

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
