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.

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
