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.

    • A few suggestions: Do you have the option of retarding your exhaust cam gear to bring the power band over to the left? VCT would be turned off after you make peak torque, you see the power/torque will decay faster with it left on all the way to the limiter Once VCT is turned off, you'll find the motor will take a bit more timing being ramped in Send its mum, more boost! Of course, depends on your exhaust pressure.

    • I was back on the dyno again yesterday after completely revamping my methanol injection system. I was making 440kw at 19psi. Great, this is more then I was making last summer with my old meth system at that pressure, and I figured it would be smooth sailing up to 30+psi. We continued increasing from there and by 25psi, I had only hit 455kw. Dyno sadly lost utility power at this point and I left. We seemed to be on course to hit the same power wall as last summer (477kw@27psi). This is a built RB25 S1 stroked to a 2.8. Built and ported head with Kelford 272/262 cams. Precision 6466 Turbo. Tuner last year believed the power wall is a mix of RPM limitations (Hydro lifters/Limit set at 7600RPM) and fueling. With my new meth system, we're seeing zero knock now but it still won't go up.  What else can I do at this point? Here's my train of thought.  - It's clear from the dyno graph that I would easily make power to 8500+RPM but I'm limited to 7600RPM. I could risk increasing my limiter, but hydro lifters have me worried. What are my options here besides going NEO head or solid lifter conversion? I'm rocking a 1.05AR turbine on my 6466. Would dropping down to a .84 help shift that power down in anyway? - We're only seeing roughly a 30kw difference at the top end with VCT on or off. Is this normal? I want to confirm VCT is working properly. - Should I look into other cam options?  - Should I just keep increasing boost and see if she wakes up later on? I would expect to hit 600rwkw around 35psi with my 6466.   
    • First thought is to use a ram mount (to hold the ipad) + windscreen suction mount. The arms on the ram mount can be as long as you like, should be able to position the ipad pretty well with that setup.
