Shameless plug for twin scroll systems because done properly they really do work . They stand a far better chance of making a wider overall spread of torque and it makes all the difference usually in the mid range .

Feels more more like a larger capacity NA engine , yep thats what everyone says that goes down this road .

I'm going to wait and see how the Evo 10 TS TIW GT3071R's and GT3076R's go because twin integral waste gates make life so much cheaper and simpler .

Being Garrett GT30 TS TIW turbine housings you can be pretty sure the turbine/housing combo actually works .

Theres going to be a choice of (from memnory) 0.73 and 0.94 A/R sizes and once you get around the model specific Mitsy flange patterns (6 Boost ?) you've got it made .

We had to wait ages to get real Garrett IW GT30 turbine housings , the TS TIW ones should be the icing on the cake .

Congrats on a great result , cheers A .

Mine is the Garrett TS GT32 rear housing as available from ATP.

This housing can also be used for the GT35 although bored out to suit the bigger wheel as available from ATP.

Stre8e180, on this forum, used the GT35 with T3 .78 rear on his RB26 and made nearly 400 rwkw but struck some fueling issues.

I've also been watching another build nearing completion of a Full-Race Dual Gate TS GT35 with T4 1.06 rear on a standard stroke SR - will be interesting to see the results of this.

However, I wonder if E85 became commercially available whether to some extent TS will become redundant as the additional timing allowed with E85 will make single scroll housings that much better. Alternatively, twin scroll and E85 may be just better again if this thread is anything to go by.......this setup used race fuel in his SR20 with T3 TS .78 3076 using 31 psi, which was reportedly reached by 3800 rpm and made 489 ft/lb torque and 573 hp on a dynojet. OK discount those figures by around say 20% and an estimated 460 dyno dynamics rwhp from stock stroke SR20 with full boost by 3800 rpm isn't shabby.

Sadly we need a few pathfinders here in Australia to demonstrate that big A/R housings (twin scroll ones) don't cause the same turbine lag as they would with with a single scroll and single collector exhaust manifold .

E85 doesn't really achieve the same thing as a twin scroll turbo system , you do get enhanced performance through better charge cooling (more fluid being squirted in and the evaporative cooling effect) and more efficient burning through timing the spark so that the cylinders pressure rise occurs when it will produce the most torque . So a higher detonation threshold and charge cooling is where apple juice is at .

Propper twin scrolling and E85 together should be very good .

I didn't chase those links far enough to see but another advantage of twin scrolling is the ability to run big cam profiles if need be .

Twin scroll TIWG , your wanting ...

From where I sit the process goes like this .

Someone sits down and works out how to construct turbo manifolds and alls well .

Then one day someone asks for a pulse divided version and the fabricator pretty soon works out that a lot more time is needed to stitch it all together . On top of that to do it properly the external gates feed pipe has to be divided all the way to the valve , or two divorced gate mounts made .

Of course when the masterpiece is complete the customer often doesn't appreciate how much extra time went into making the thing and won't hear of paying what its worth .

I'd say its easier to sell a large number of single collector manifolds and thats probably the limit of what many people will pay for .

Do some homework , places like freshalloy.com are good to troll around in if your Nissan minded .

When you get used to seeing hard core results at places like Hondatech.com/Freshalloy/Evolutionm.net/NASIOC/Supraforums etc etc a certain manifold producers name keeps showing up .

In the US they don't like paying serious money for "a bunch of bends and plates welded together" any more than we do , but if they could have anything lots would have A FullRace one . Same here , if I was serious about it I wouldn't have anything else .

When divided turbine housings grow divided wastegates it will get cheaper and easier because the awkward bits been taken care of further down the line .

Point . Twin scroll systems really do work , if they didn't high performance diesels wouldn't have them and neither would the higher tech Evos and Subarus etc .

The other way to attack the problem with an RB is to make two isolated exhaust manifolds and bolt up parallel twin IW turbos . The same kind of gains for the same reasons , divide the cylinders into 2 groups of three all the way to the turbine/s and use two divorced waste gates RB26 style .

Your call .

That the results speak for themselves is something .

My bottom line is that turbocharging is generally cheaper and easier that fitting an engine of something up to double the originals capacity .

The thing that has to be remembered is that when you increase an engines power output you increase its exhaust gas output but if you have an exhaust tract that can handle the extra volume or it'll choke .

To make high power with a turbocharger means also having to increse the the exhaust throughput starting with the exhaust manifold and turbine housing .

The stumbling block is having a turbine housing that accelerates the exhaust gasses into the turbine blades without forming a restriction or pressure rise .

When you have all of the engines cylinders pulsing into a common collecter and turbine nossle you WILL get a pressure rise unless the housing A/R is quite large . This in itself is not an issue unless you want turbine response in the low or middle of an engines useful rev range .

There is no black art in any of this , no ASIO spec turbine or housing at all .

There is no other method that gives all the advantages of a properly set up and functioning TS system .

If you truely understand how the four stroke cycle works it becomes very clear that this is the only way to have good turbine response while keeping the engine happy exhaust flow wise .

All I can say is research the results and go figure .

Its very easy to TALK about how good a ts set-up will be, the reality isn't nearly so simple. I was simply pointing out why bugger all people give it a try, because even if you want to, local manifold makers aren't interested and its hard to justify 4k for a fr manifold.

Once i'm back in oz I'l be giving it a crack, and will post back to back results from the same dyno.

As I said it's the cost of the manifold and wastegating thats the problem .

This is why I think the TS TIWG GT3071R/GT3076R has so much promise , granted it doesn't have the twin outlet mount flange that an RB20/25 exhaust manifold has but it would be a bonus if it did or could be adapted .

If you had to have a divided manifold made whats to stop you asking for one with the Mitsy Evo 10's mount flange in the appropriate place to plonk a GT3071R/GT3076R in ?

Won't need the two divorced external gates or mounts because the Garrett GT30 TS TIWG turbine housing does it all for you .

Granted still not ultra cheap , good performance often isn't .

The comment about timing in the thread link mimic's what my tuner found also - that he was able to add more timing - scarily so - but backed it off to a level where he felt 'comfortable'.

I'm fully sold on twin scrolls now, and my next stage with my Skyline will have to involve one. I'm no fabricator, but I would have thought they'd to some degree be easier? A pair of 3>1 collectors must easier to find equal paths to than a single 6>1 in a tight engine bay I would have thought?

Quite some years back the feller that ran Pulse Racing/Pulse turbocharging was making them out of steam pipe and TIG welding them nicely . His collectors looked good to . I didn't see it myself but stories of making 700+ CHP from a 2L FJ , with 30 lbs boost and 30 deg of full load timing and god knows what witches brew fuel . And a big series TA45 I think .

A little birdie tells me that he's been with Plasmaman since but I haven't seen him for years .

Also don't bother trying to make the mythical equal length equal diameter 3-1 plus 3-1 spaghetti manifold .

The critical thing is having the PRESSURE DROPS equal because thats whats important not the runner length .

Playing with drop tests to equalise the pulse energy takes time and money and again trying to justify the development costs to prospective customers for small volume sales is difficult .

    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
