Impressive results on a mainline dyno there Lee, you should see 265-270 on a DD machine.

Im going back to the drawing board, Wastegate was WIDE open but still pumping close to 20+psi. So ive decided to Go external Gate modded onto my DMAX manifold so i can regulate boost alot better. I could just wack on a .82 rear with a larger internal gate but i want to retain as much response as i can get my hands on so i'm keeping the .63 with looked fairly responsive and going external gate.

Much appreciated to Martin and Mark for the help. Top Blokes.

EDIT: martin seemed to love my setup, i was a bit unsure about the size of the bastard. :D

Cheers Ryan Last time there was only 4kw difference on Aussies DD but either way i'm happy with the power to weight. I must have just missed you today i left at 2.30pm. I'm sure you will get your beast sorted in no time did you run it up on the Dyno?

so what power did u end up making Ryan???

external gate FTW!!!!

ARE U GONNER HAVE A SCREAMER OR PLUMB IT BACK??

Before we could even do any sort of power run i wanted him to check what boost it was running because of previous experience with turbo's like this and wastegates etc, Before the turbo went on i got the wastegate machined out to its limit and i made the dump pipe to clear the massive flap but wasn't enough. Definetly going External gate, With a screamer eventually plumbed back. hehe

I made a custom Bell mouth from scratch, Very free flowing. Ahh well... Just annoyed there is a bit of a delay. I tell ya what, It sounded f*kn awesome on the dyno. Will be an animal once its finished. Was great just driving the car again after 6 weeks.

this subject is pretty interesting.

I swapped the 34 GTR bellmouth style dumps for a pair of short splits (using the -5's) and found that occasionally she'd creep up to 18 or 19psi..........not sure if it's an obstruction issue with the gate.

I was considering going back to the 34 GTR bellmouths with the new setup that's just about to go on.

Gary Cook (Sydney Kid) was telling me not to waste my time with short splits & to stick with a decent bellmouth unless I plan on using the long split style like the Trust setup (approx 400mm splits)..........AM Performance can make a similar setup as the Trust's.

Thoughts guys??

Definetly an interesting subject pete, i wish my camera worked at the moment, i'd take some photo's of the dump pipe i made for this turbo, Very wide, very smooth blend, fairly large dump pipe. Took a couple of hours of heating and bending to get it right. Im really not a fan of the splits unless it had a really really good blend. Usually alot of those split dump pipes have somewhat of a wall to hit before it goes through a tiny pipe.

Heslo, definetly sounded like very very strong power. Curve was awesome. I'll write back to your PM in a tic mate.

yeah maybe the little splits are good for small diameter gates but I think they tend to fail on bigger gates hence why I'm thinking bellmouth more & more.

Is it true the 34 GTR dumps are bigger than the 32 & 33's?

Cheers Ryan!

Pete, I'll be going the long split style. Seen AM Performance work close up and spoken to Andrew and he does some great work and knows his shit. Pretty cheap too. But as always the end decision comes up to you :P

A little OT but.... :P

Pete usually the problem with the splits is the area behind the gate. When the flap opens it tends to block part of the opening which tends to result in slightly more boost or worse case creep.

Shaun was telling me he's had a play with splits/bell mouths on the dyno and didn't notice any difference (power etc) between the two (providing boost is kept constant). The only time the split was beneficial is when the exhaust is marginal for the power i.e 3" for 300rwkw+ and you run a screamer.

Ryan.. Here's my dump. Can be improved upon but can't complain for under $100.

Would prefer a 70ish or 45degree bend with the wastegate section a little longer and merging smootly in to the pipe. Maybe the sharpish push in to the stream of the turbine gas is creating a little back pressure in front of the turbine wheel allowing greater flow for the wastegate, hence boost drop to ~2psi above the actuators rating.

Mine is very simular Joel. That's impressive tho, I'm sure the black paint isn't there anymore tho hehe.

agree with your thoughts on flow and the flap not opening 100 percent blocking alot of the flow into the split pipe.

Edited by Ryanrb25
Home made. ;)

The black paint is actually still there..... On the outside. :D

haha, just razzing ya.........looks like a very good effort.......and welds don't have to be pretty, just have good penetration (well that's what my Dad says, he's a boilermaker)

i love custom items!!! i have a AWSOME customer x-member.... added value to my car!

You like that do ya hehe.

That's right, you could have the prettiest welds but if there's no penetration then its completely useless.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
