3lit3 32,

They also have the .63, .82 internal gate now also. ;)

Have a look through the thread, disco posted a few pics of the .82 and skinny .63 internal gate gt35r turbine housings. He grabbed the pics from GCG.

GT35r .63

and the .63 int wastegate

GT35R .82

and the .82 int wastegate

Unsure if the int gate gt30's turbine housings from 'garrett' are floating around yet or not.

Yeah I know all the different models available, my rep showed me all samples the day the turbo was available. They are a great setup but you still have to go to the trouble of changing the dump, oil and water hoses and intake. The only difference is you save money on not having to buy an external wastegate. They are limited in their flow and response due to the internal gated setup but make for a great upgrade on the 25's. Definately wouldn't recommend one of these on a 20 unless you have some major port work and other head work done.

If anyone is chasing one of these turbo, let me know. I should be able to beat anyone's price.

How does internal gate reduce response?

dangerman4's gt35r appears to be doing quite well on his rb25 with an auto sitting behind it. Spools damn well, considerably better than I expected. We saw 5psi at 3000rpm and its all in by 4200rpm!!

But yes the GT30 is the limit for the RB20 I feel.. GT35r is simply too big.

I imagine the only way any waste gate could affect the spool phase is it were not sealed shut . All the exhaust gas needs to be going through the turbine at this stage to get it up to speed .

How well the IW performs I don't know , it seems obvious that the lower the exhaust housing AR the sooner boost pressure should reach the actuators opening pressure and open the valve (assumes all else engine wise being equal ) .

The XR6's turbo actually used a smaller series ie TO4E rather than TO4S comp cover/backplate probably because Ford wanted to artificially limit how much air the compressor could pump and make the waste gate regulator (actuator) very sensitive . It was after all a low boost OEM application .

So they use a large exhaust housing AR (1.06) and a smaller series comp cover in only .50AR to limit airflow . Under these conditions the IW seemed to work ok on a 4L six .

As I've said in the past I would not use the .63AR exhaust housing on a GT3076R or a GT3582R because the exhaust restriction , once it gets going , eventually cancells out the advantage of the high flowing large trim compressors in both cases . Some unique cases such as the real GT3071R would be ok with a 63 housing but thats because they use a smaller (71mm vs 76mm) compressor and need the revs (turbo) to make them work .

Also you may never see them but bush bearing Garrett GT turbos such as the GT3571 and GT3576 may end up with them though diesel app generally like larger exhaust housing AR's .

The way I see it the limitation of most production waste gates is trying to get the exhaust gas to turn 90 degrees and bugger off out through the hole in the side of the housing . The higher the gas speed is

the less it wants to know about doing the exit stage left . Corky Bell talks about the same sort of thing in the exhaust manifold section of his book Maximum Boost though thats to do with Ext gate placement on manifolds . If you can size your turbo right ideally the waste gate is only bleeding off enough exhaust gas to regulate the turbine /compressor speed to maintain a set boost pressure . If your engine breathes properly the boost pressure may not need to be super high and the exhaust manifold pressure should also be lower and the velocity also so the integral gate stands a much better chance of controlling it .

Cheers A .

    • I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
    • The old approach was to fill the cylinder/chamber with a length of rope pushed in through the sparkplug hole. The new approach is to connect compressed air to the sparkplug hole and fill it with enough pressure to push the valves up. Doing either of these things with the head on and the engine in the car is a lot less pleasant than doing it properly.
    • Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?
    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
