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 .

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
