hey guys... i actually was under the name engoR33-300 but somehow forgot my password and things i couldnt get right so im under this one now..... n e ways... i drive a r33 gts-t 93' model with a series 2 engine in her.... my mods are... t04e garret turbo, exractors, 3 1/2 inch exaust full, 38mm external wastegate, hks front mount intercooler, boshe 044 fuel pump, 760cc injectors, turbosmart stage 1 bov, and LT 12 microtech E.C.U..... my problem is that with all these mods... i am running a very very low amount of power.. and wondering what could be holding it back... it ran on the dyno 140rwkw on 5 psi.... i plan to boost it to 12psi.... but is this E.C.U related issues??..

cheers

but thats the same thing.... im getting confused here ey...

how can you have extractors on a turbo'd car!! do you mean ur manifold has had its piping "enlarged" ??? do you mean you have a bigger "dump" pipe? or "front" pipe??

extractors are what you call larger exhaust manifolds on NON-turbo cars...eg, all the commodores/fords etc etc. they run from the block down to the cat.

am i gunna get flammed for my confused thoughts here?? or am i not alone? haha

Extractors are for NA (naturally aspirated) cars with no turbos. It sits on the head and goes into a dump/front and onto the exhaust.

Turbo cars have a manifold, on which the turbo sits on, and the exhaust sits on the back of the turbo.

For turbo cars you cant get extractors, but you can get different forums of manifold, say tuned length, log style, high mount or low mount log style, high mount or low mount tuned length, and the obvious ones like polished which yeh is obviously just polished lol

Hope that helps a bit.

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
