Hey guys,

Just after some advice on a wastegate. I'm chasing 270-300 rwkws and was looking at the

40mm HKS standard wastegate but was unsure on the spring set. Which one would i be after?

Which brings me to me last question. This wastegate mentions HP upwards of the 500 mark whereas the other gates from HKS mention GT

GT-ii state HP upwards of 1000HP but these are a larger mm. Is my 40mm choice correct or should i be going with one of the later choices?

there is a guide to work out what size you should be using, you should read it and understand before picking random models

i cant remember where the guide / info is sorry

i think the link your mentioning is http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...=43638&st=0 so either I've chosen the wrong or right wastegate but in no way is it random :rofl:

re-reading my old thread there.

I got the 3040 to 294 rwkw on 18psi through a 38mm gate so 40mm gate will be fine for your required power.

as for the spring requirements... that is dependant on the boost level you want to run as minimum , keeping it as close to the require boost level if you are using an EBC . ie use a 1.2Bar spring for 18 - 22 psi ... 1bar for 14 - 20 psi - keeping in mind that the further from teh spring rate you go the more possiblity for the ebc to have trouble maintaining constant boost levels.

:domokun: craved. Having done a little research on the setup I'll be running and what others have run I would assume my boost would be around the 18-22psi level. These are the different variations from the nengun site and I got no idea which one would be the 1.2 bar spring if there even is one..

help please??

HKS Standard Wastegate 39.2kPa (0.40kgf/cm2) Max

HKS Standard Wastegate 39.2kPa (0.40kgf/cm2)

HKS Standard Wastegate 44.1kPa(0.45kgf/cm2)

HKS Standard Wastegate 50.1 kPa(0.52kgf/cm2)

HKS Standard Wastegate 66.7kPa(0.68kgf/cm2)

HKS Standard Wastegate 66.6kPa(0.70kgf/cm2)

HKS Standard Wastegate 70.6kPa(0.72kgf/cm2)

:rofl:

You get the spring that best suits how much boost you are going to run. ie. the closest possible.

No point getting a 7psi spring if your running 20psi :rofl:

Thanks r31Nismoid but what i don't understand is the different variations offered by nengun. Are none of these suitable for the amount of boost I'll be running? In that case I'll need to replace the spring with a larger rated spring no doubt? Where is the easiest place to source these??

    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
    • You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
