The garret int gate (gt30-gt35) housings suffer a tad boost creep. The balancing of dump and wastegate pipe size is what makes or breaks a setup. An open mouth dump with these turbo's = boost creep, anything less than a 2" wastegate pipe when paired with a 3" dump = boost creep. Then there's the enlarging of wastegate flap size which does work well but requires a strong wastegate spring to prevent the flap being blown open due to back pressure within the scroll.

The HKS ProS housings run a large flap that does get blown open even with stiff actuators.

Rework the dump pipe, reduce the size of the wastegate pipe. Make it harder for the exhaust gas to flow out of that wastegate.

I've never seen it done but there's no reason why it wouldn't work it works int he opposite circumstance - boost creep.

Kinda off topic I know, but what was your MPH with those runs? Just wondering, as I'd expect 265rwkw to be around the 115mph mark?

113 mph - the best run was with track temps in high 40's, 35 degree day of all things. There is definately is more in it in tuning and boost level/control wise but I'm a bit sceptical on the bottom end holding up - I hate listening to them on a dyno pull.

Currently it's only got the 15 psi wastegate spring - even though it's a 15 psi spring as you start to make boost even 10 psi the wastegate feed will be weakening the spring tension allowing the wategate to blow open eventually. That's why a bleed style boost control and a 20 psi spring should make a difference.

Cheers

270rkw, hi-flow and the supporting mods...suspension blah blah

18psi @ just a tad over 3000rpm and holds stong to redline. Who is gonna complain about that.

btw 15psi and 18psi much f**k all difference with a high flow in terms of power....however watch ur mid range torque go through the roof.

Makes sense but I'd hate to re-work this! I'll try a few other things first.

Cheers

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
