I have put up a while back in the RB26 turbo thread however rather than tie that thread up with chit chat, I am posting up the graphs here and am seeking some feedback.

The mods of note are:

GTSS kit

HKS extension kit (dumps)

Tomei manifold

PFC d'jetro

M's intakes

HKS racing chamber kit

Tomei poncams type B plus adjustable gears

Sard 700's

HKS fuel pump, Nismo AFR

EVC6

mines stainless front, race cat (VERY high flowing lol), Kakimoto full mega N1 cat back

Couple of things:

1. I am not sure what revs each of the speeds along the bottom represent, but it was in fourth gear and obviously where it drops off just over 215ish is obviously 8,000 rpm.

2. so it looks like it is hitting mac boost of 17 psi at about 3,500 odd rpm (never does this on the road).

3. Even tho the EVC is set on high at 18.1 psi, it never gets there, max I have seen is 17.2 psi, why would this be?

Any other comments are welcomed!

The tune is clearly a conservative and safe one.

very nice looking curves.

It's holding boost well.

Answers;

1) as mentioned. The tune takes into account that smashing the motor right to 8,000rpm is not something to encourage on a stock bottom end.

2) Boost is 17psi as you said. What it gets to on the road is always going to vary as the load on the motor will determine boost response, so different gears / up or down a hill and throttle use will effect things.

3) The EVC may be set to 18 psi but, thats a relative number to the boost you actually get and where you get that reading from. If the boost measurement is before or after the intercooler there might be a 0.5 to 1 psi actual difference of pressure in addition to the guages error margins.

I'm sure the car is very fast. Thats what matters.

I should have said that the top boost line (the one that looks like it is holding 17psi is my hand writing which I used to explain and ask why my boost did not stay there. The true boost starts at 17 ish and then dips to 15 and holds steady, this is the problem I am asking about REV210

Each actuator has a different spring rate (boost level). They can be from 5psi through to 30psi, which is the pressure that they open at. The aim is to get an actuator closest to the desired boost setting so the EBC has to do as little as possible to gain ultimate response. Some aftermarket actuators you only have to replace the springs, where others are sealed and you have to replace the entire actuator. Let me know if you need to purchase one.

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
