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

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

      Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.

      The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.

      Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
