Ok a quick but technical question for you guys out there that do know something about skylines.

Has any of you had a problem with overboosting on an external gated RB25??? The reason i ask is because it is the problem I'm having right now.

Mods are as listed:-

GT35/40R turbo

custom manifold

tial 38mm wastegate

plazmamann inlet manifold

550cc injectors

040 fuel pump

wolf 3d V4+ ecu

hybrid intercooler (genuine)

2.5inch intercooler piping

Now i'm wondering if anyone has had this problem with the engine/turbo wanting to keep making boost. The tial gate is spose to have a 1bar spring in it. You can hear it opening (screamer pipe) though the boost isn't dropping or flattening out. Do i need a bigger wastegate, as in 48mm or new manifold or what??? As with no boost controller (straight off the wastegate spring) we were getting 1.2bar at 4500rpm with only 68percent throttle. Haven't had it at 100percent throttle yet, as the engine hasn't been built for anything above 1.2bar.

Anyone have any sensible suggestions???????

If the gate is opening, but it's not restricting boost, it's not letting enough gas out. This could be from a number of common reasons:

* pressure signal isn't in the right place

For most external gates you need to supply the pressure signal at the middle (not top) fitting. Disconnect anything

you have going to the top and try with the middle only.

* pressure signal isn't getting to gate

Tee a gauge into the line and check that there's pressure when the manifold is seeing pressure.

* gate spring isn't what you think it is

Using a hand-pump and gauge, supply pressure to the fitting. Make sure the gate opens at the right pressure.

* gate isn't big enough

Try removing the gate and bolting the screamer pipe on directly to where the gate goes. This is almost equivalent

to having the gate open all the time. If you still can't hold boost down, the wastegate piping isn't big enough

(highly unlikely, but possible). If you _can_ hold boost down, either the gate is too small or it is faulty.

* gate is faulty

Maybe the gate isn't opening fully? Check that it opens fully when you test it with the hand pump.

* manifold gauge is wrong

Check that the boost you're seeing is in fact what is there by using a known-good gauge.

pressure signal is in the right place...same as you say.

I will be taking the gate off and checking with a hand pump.

There is no restriction/problems with the line to the wastegate.

We had the dyno psi gauge, the avcr pressure gauge and the wolf pressure gauge all reading 18psi.

But yeah, I was going to pull the wastegate off and check the spring tension anyway. I'm just hoping its big enough and the manifold doesn't need to be modified.

Thanks for the help Saliya.

the manifold is the issue.

you need a bigger wastegate.it simply cant flow enough air.

a simple test is to drive it with the gate removed or no spring in it. if it makes any boost then its 100%the gates to small.

i had the sam problem. till my garrett 42mm had a date with the die drinder hehe

  • 2 weeks later...

Well found out why the wastegate was not bleeding off enough gas. The diaphram was folded over and therefor was not allowing the gate to open. Was a simple fix, we also put a 10psi spring in to help. Cost me $60 to get done/fixed from a performance workshop. Which was about an hours work for the guy.

    • Plan on the day will be to park trackside. Depending on space availability we will try put a small shade tent and a few of the cars on top of the hill inside turn 3, this is an easy to get to parking area with views of Turn 2, Turn 3, Turn 4 and Turn 5 and limited other pieces of the view around the track. IMPORTANT NOTE! One consideration from previous years is from memory the trackside parking sells out before the admission tickets, for that reason I encourage anyone planning on coming to buy tickets for parking now via the official website; https://www.worldtimeattack.com/ The type of parking you are looking for is 2 Day Park & View (Access Around Venue) Vehicle Pass Only Please note this does not include admission to the event itself, remember to grab that also, and kids under 12 get in for free!
    • This is going to be a mid week evening cruise. Come along and join us for a drive out to Palm Beach. This is a change of event plans after talking to some of the older members of the club. SAU NSW is planning on hitting Old Pac again shortly, stay tuned for details. When: Thursday 26th of June Time: 7:30pm meet/8:00pm departure/10:00pm finish Meet: Spit West Car Park / Spit Rd Mosman NSW 2088 Destination: Palm Beach Public Parking / 16 Ocean Rd Palm Beach NSW 2108 Up to date information as always can be found on the events page of our website, the link for this event is https://www.saunsw.com.au/events/palm-beach-cruise There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost. If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our track days. This is an official SAUNSW event and will be run under a Motorsport Australia permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU:NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehavior will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave. Thanks guys and hope to see you there!
    • Good time for a carbon roof  
    • Not in any way aroused by any of those, except maybe the big AMGs. And that would break my never a Euro, ever, rule.
