the problem is caused by the cheap split dumps.... because where the gate pipe re-enters the zaust the hole is too small

easy solution!!!

pull the dump off and port out the hole where the wastegate re-enters the exhaust. on the ones i have seen the hole is approx 2 square cm's but if you get a grinding tool/file in there you should be able to make it almost 4 times the size

make sense?

Im having this problem with a high flow. have a split dump. cleaned out the waste gate hole into the main pipe but by the sounds of it it may still be to small for the high flow. boost creeping from 12 to 17 psi. so you gurus recon to get rid of it and put the stock dump back on?

It'd be wise to try it. And i guess if it goes away then your problem is the dump pipe.

I just got my hands on an R32 Actuator. So im going to start with that, and pull out the stock boost solenoid. Always wanted to, so seeing as its easier ill start there. If it still creeps then ill go back to stock dump too.

I can see where Cerbera is coming from, but you cant make a 1inch pipe a 4 inch pipe with a file..

Are you talking about the turbo side or..? The JJR ones re enter the main exhaust just before the cat. Where the exhaust bends from the dive down the firewall.

    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
