ok guys,

I've recently fitted a brand new Garret GT3582r with a .63 rear housing with the internal wastegate machined and a much larger wastegate flat added. Fabricated my own Bellmouth dump pipe, which is all mounted on a DMAX exhaust manifold.

My problem lies with the wastegate, Had it on the Dyno yesterday and found even the much larger internal gate was wide open with an 8psi actuator but boost was climbing well above 19-20psi and still climbing. I kind of expected a higher boost level than the 8psi actuator but wasn't expecting this much. Being an Unopened rb25det i am trying to keep it sensible. Yes i have checked to see if the dump pipe i made is fouling the wastegate flap and its not. hehe

My options are:

Either pull the turbo off and fit a .82 rear with an internal gate hoping this will help with the issue but i sacrifice any response i was trying to keep with the .63.

Fit an external gate (38-45mm?) to either the DMAX manifold or to the .63 exhaust housing and hope it gives me alot lower minimum boost level.

Who has encountered a problem like this and what's the best, cost efficient way of getting around this.

Check with BHDave, or search his threads. He had boost control issues with a GT30 0.63 combination. I suspect you'd be dealing with similar issues.

With that spec turbo you'd have to be chasing some pretty big power output, and an 8psi actuator seems seriously underdone. Go to a 0.82 A/R housing and fit a 14psi actuator at minimum - choose an actuator that is close to your intended boost and fine tune it with your controller from there.

If chasing high output from your RB25 then I hope your plans and budget extends to engine hardware upgrades - it will only stand being leaned on for just so long before something gives out.

Keep on it, and keep us posted. Very keen to hear how this combination works especially if you have a manual transmission. Hopefully your turbo supplier is willing to work with you on this one.

It may seem like a stupid turbo choice i know, but i really like the fact i can flat throttle it off the line in first and second and it's just fast enough not to break traction. A 3 litre bottom end will replace this motor once something let's go, Just eager to see how reliable this sort of thing will be. I really wanted to keep the .63 rear housing as i want as much response as i can get my hands on. I've had responsive turbo's now keep for some higher numbers with more aggressive power curves.

Any more info on external gate setups will be greatly appreciated.

yea i assumed the 3L would need a .82...Im not too concerned about that just yet as that's a fair while away. I want to get this layout fairly good first.

Anyone's thoughts on External gates welded onto Exhaust housing of turbo? My manifold doesn't have a large collection area where i can plumb into it.

Your custom dump isnt blocking the wastegate flapper is it?

EDIT: Its one of 'those' manifolds... ugh i really dont like that design at all...

Why didnt you go the other way? Choking the turbo is the wrong way to do it IMO.

Correctly sized rear housing (.82) and then a GT30 compressor wheel (500hp) would be the way to do it... or if you REALLY want proper response, .63 with the GT30 (GT3071/3076 style) - not the GT35!!!!

Then sell the turbo, and get a GT35 when you get a 3ltr. :blink:

They hold value near enough, and with a GT30 - 270-280rwkw... the RB25 you might find will probably last you a fair few years...

So you would be waiting a fair while i reckon for that 3ltr and in turn can go all out with a big GT35 on a full build, 1.06 housing, 400rwkw etc.

Remember the GT35 wheel is a 700hp wheel or there abouts. Putting a .63 on there means your basically hurting turbo output for no real reason (response doesnt count as a reason if you get the correctly sized compressor wheel).

All of that restricting will bring the flow down to a stab of around 550-600hp worth of top end air. Not good at all as you then bring heat, backpressure and other nasties into the equation.

Just my thoughts on it

not sure why it is overboosting, have a good look at the gate and actuator.

there is a jpc vl with 0.63 housing on gt35 running 9's (370+rwkw), so it can be done, just not the obvious choice. (or logical, but who can argue with the results)

the turbo you want would be a gt3076, good front to rear ratio with regards to gas flows, no point of the gt35 82mm front with a gt30 rear wheel. aka gt3082 bad match

Edited by RB30-POWER

Have experiences with an rb25 with an 3582 .63

external gate 38mm, holds beautifully, which just a dual stage bleed valve (no ebc as yet)

Logic would tell you me that if your having boost control issues its from your wastegate or bc.

size of the rear end will just cause lag etc as explained above.

3582 may seem big for a stock 25 but comparing to say a GT30, the 35 may come on a bit later but when it comes its well worth the wait, just an effortless tyre fryer.

So its 100% that the housings and/or turbo aren't modified? :D

Was it done on PULP?

Cause i mean, if people have modded housings and non-standard fuel, it totally changes the dynamics

race fuel, modified + 50mm external gate :D

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
