Boostd - I don't understand the groove inlet on the snout thingy... (my small brain). I can't tell from the pic either sorry... I think I need to see in real life or explained with one in fromt of me , for me to understand.

BTW - I had a good look at my Exhaust housing yesterday at UAS as they had another one there. The exhaust wheel port had been fully bored out to max, and exhaust wheel fits nicely - no gap at all. The core is 550-600HP garett (same as 3040)..... I think. My compressor housing is T04e (bigger than T04b, I am told) which clears manifold as mine is tubular. All wheels are steel. Compared it to another Garett housing there (dunno which one), and mine is much bigger by the look of it.

As side note - I don't think my boost problem isn't surge as the boost doesn't fluctuate - it's more likely a restriction somewhere as boost drops off suddenly at high RPM and high boost. We have and idea it's the cat - but this is not proven yet (Tuesday will tell) and if it is so, you will not beleive the story/theory to this.

After boost problem is fixed, I'll let you know the dyno numbers.

/edit - changed is surge to isn't surge - DER !

Std Turbo - Yeah - I'll have a look !

Wastgate actuator - nah, that was the first thing they changed....

We are pretty sure the cat is melted, there is a reason for that too, and another reason why the reason for the melted cat is the way it is. It all makes sense when you add it up....

But it was too late to pull the cat off and look at it - Will be done Tuesday.

Cheers,

Jay - yep checked that pipe - it was the second thing we looked at after the wastegate actuator.

Its a long story, which I will post a new thread about it later, after we have proven the theory. Suffice to say that I had a week of troubleshooting (before this) where the car was running rich as buggery. Eventually tracked this down to the setting for my AFM (Q45) being changed after I changed the battery in my car, because it died, because it had been sitting around doing nothing for so long while waiting for the engine re-build.

Running rich during all the troubleshooting must have melted the cat. causing the restriction at high boost & high revs. Added to this, pieces of crap coming out the exhaust while on the dyno, it will prolly blow the whole exhaust clean off soon ha ha ha -

Anyway, we found all this out at like 5:00pm Saturday and everyone was keen to pack up - so it awaits the hoist and removal of the cat for inspection tomorrow.

Fingers crossed it is only the cat.

And yes, I know a PFC shoudn't loose the settings for AFM when the car battery has been replaced - This bit doesn't make sense - But this was the sequence of events ... I'll be testing this out too - Maybe there is a little bug - or maybe someone changed the setting inadvertantly.

Oh, well that's the whole story now....appologies Boostd for thread hi-jack.

Made 245rwkw on 10psi

more boost soon.

Doesn't make 15psi till 4600rpm due to reduced gas velocity with my ported head.I Will have to customise to suit. I am looking at reduceing the turbine snout quite abit and using a external gate and internal to enable higher turbine speeds and still flow well with the smaller outlet...call me crazy but it keeps me busy.

Rb20 works well with this setup using .6 A/R exhaust housing and 52mm snout.

boostd. just saw you posted 245rwkw on 10psi.. what turbo is this related to may i ask.. im a bit lost with all the talk from the melted cat etc haha. what are the specs of this turbo? thanks mate. and when you say its alright witha .6 exhaust housing on a rb20.. do you have any power figures and spool revs etc? cheers.

Hey guys, what about boreing out the internal wastegate and fitting a larger wastegate 'flap'? Could this reduce enough backpressure to warrent not machining out the turbine housing as much? Thereby making it more viable to fit on an rb20? what about other smaller compressor wheels, would that be smoother and prevent surge problems?

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
