I think there is a difference. Normally, an external wastegate is mounted on a separate pipe from the exhaust manifold. So when the wastegate is opened, some air bypasses flowing through the turbo. If the wastegate is mounted on the exhaust housing of the turbo, the exhaust air always flows into the turbo and then out through the wastegate...so the air never bypasses the turbo.

Hope you get good hp.

I got the bill for my car today. Half of the bill was fixing up the fark ups the other shop did.

The dodgy shop grinded a piece out of my turbo!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't spend $2300 on a 800hp turbo so some fark nut could grind it.

Anyway. 2 page list of screw ups.

So good luck rob :)

Sheesh! That is a big turbo!! Almost like that white JUN s15 in Perth with the T88 on it. Which makes me wonder, why didn't you go all the way with a T88? I would have with that sized turbo :) I think lag monster is an understatement :) Anyway, should be fun. Do you use it on the street, or as a strict drag car?

When does the car come on boost? I am guessing it starts to make boost around 4500rpm? 5000rpm?

about 4500 u get a large surge.

Depends which t88 he has. My turbo is the same size as the smallest t88. Tho the bigger t88 are 1000hp rating.

I just wanted to go for the Garrett. The T88 never crossed my mind.

It a street car, never set foot on the 1/4 mile. Just want it to be a dyno car with gas.

Might go to coast this weekend. Haven't been for 3 months.

Street car? Wow! I am guessing you usually drive off boost, unless you thrash the car around? :) Not sure what T88 it is, but it's been in many mags. I'm sure you've seen/read it. I think it has a 2.2L stroker kit too.

Can I ask why Garrett? Not HKS? I guess Garrett is a lot cheaper than HKS and TRUST. Never thought about a smaller turbo? I mean, I thought a GT30 would be good enough on a SR20. Unless you are chasing insane power like 600hp+? Is that what you're chasing??? How much boost are you running and what's your power output?

Yeah I've seen that Jun s15. Goes very well.

I'll stop soon as I get 500rwhp

At the moment its only running 14psi as it still has stock internals.

Which are getting replaced hopefully at the end of the year. Was running 17-18psi when I took it too dyno shop.

I'll get a kw figure tomorrow for my pissy 14psi :) over 230 for 14psi over 270 for 17 going by one of the work man there

Well its all done. Cars damn noisey now with the external gate, might have to look into some sort of resonator to keep the noise down even with a external wastegate line that plumbs back into the exhaust. I'll attach the dyno sheets, there are 2, one shows the boost and how quickly (or slowly I should say) it comes on the other shows my afr. The power curve is quite ugly midrange where the stock ecu dumps a whole heap of fuel into the map and then by the top end its sitting about right where its making huge amounts of power. The car is much quicker, as you can imagine, but the lag is quite bad. Firstly I need to reset my sbc as all the functions have been dropped cos the battery was disconnected for so long. Now I definately need a bigger fuel pump, bigger injectors and then I can think about a new ecu to fix up my ugly power curve. Its pretty promising so far, I just wish it wasnt so laggy, but that can be partially fixed by setting up the gain correctly on my sbc and then with a new ecu and advancing the ignition maps a bit. I think we can safely say I will reach 400hp by the end of it at the treads quite easily.

    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
