The stock one can externally vent too, if you stick a grub screw in the little bypass hole...

Why don't you just block it off until the intake is fabricated properly?

Can't be stuffed taking the car to exhaust joint and they wanted to charge me $350 for a intake pipe. lol beside I've already bought the part.

add:

Good to hear mate, and that's a very good price for everything isn't it? ;)

Yea man thats GTRS's performance with better response at half the cost. fken nice to drive. can't wait to get it boosted and tuned.

I really hope the prototype works then we will be concentrating in the GenEses development, the principle on that is having a turbo car idle at 1~2 psi based on a 500HP turbo, so people can take off and drive on boost all times. Making "turbo lag" history.

I see no practical way of this being possible. This would be an amazing piece of technology. How you can create positive boost on idle with the throttle shut is beyond me. It doesn't sound possible. How do you create a turbine structure capable of creating positive boost from the exhaust flow of an idle engine? The SS2 Ive got is almost like it is off when there is no load on the engine. I can rev up to 4k and control my foot to create nearly no pressure at all and when I plant my foot it comes on like a switch, but having something always creating pressure needs an opposing force.

And now I am getting jealous of this new turbo you have built which could see 280-300rwkw with stock turbo response :( Can my turbo be modded to suit?

Sargerx8. To easily explain what you don't understand put a boost gauge before your throttle body. You will have substantial boost it just isnt getting to your plennum/boost gauge. Thats why it appears to come on so quick.

I'm not sure working to have a turbo boost on idle would be a good thing. Off boost driving is actually great, not something I would personally want to give up.

I'm not sure how successful these turbos would be in the wider community....

Its definitely not something for all users but there will almost definitely be a market for it out there.

If he can make something like this which can be somehow controlled, by a valve or something, to switch off this feature, I think there would be no one driving a skyline without it. If you can make something happen, you can control how it happens, when it happens and why it happens. A car engine was built ground up, everything that a car can do can be controlled in literally every single way. Boost, fuel, air flow, knock, lights, wipers, etc. If his intentions are to control it using something from the engine flowing or pushing something on the turbo, something similar to a wastegate, or electronic gate could control it to switch it off when it is not needed.

I still think its impossible.

But that isn't the engine boost level so it's irrelevant. The throttle body is causing the restriction and that restriction is causing positive pressure, potentially you could open the throttle body and the engine would see no boost.

Stao's statement was incorrect and misleading

That 2 psi is pre-throttle body pressure. So when throttle is given the car launches with 2 psi of boost and build up from there. Still thinking about it, at this stage its 55% looking possible.

Will it be controllable? Can it be turned on and off or a fixed feature?

I dont understand the theory... Pre-throttle body pressure means nothing? As Simon said, the butterfly is the restriction so measuring boost against that doesn't mean much. When the throttle body opens and the motor needs airflow, the positive pressure will drop. It's about volume of air, not pressure? I fail to see how youre going to create boost at idle when there is no load.

That said, if it can be done then I'm very happy to be proved wrong. I just don't get it.

Still thinking about it, As soon as throttle opens the intake pressure drops, so pointless of building up pressure pre-throttle unless its lots of pressure. Need some thing spins quickly, makes enough pressure to fill the drop with bit of room for positive boost. Then switch it self off when turbo comes on.

That didn't work for me, the stock bov just kept on getting sucked open by vacuum.

The standard BOVs have 2 diaphragms as far as I know, the BOV's upper diaphragm will be sucked up when under vacuum, which lifts the whole piston setup upwards and allows the BOV to breathe through the return pipe. Then once manifold pressure is no longer under a certain level of vacuum, the spring inside the upper chamber of the BOV will return it to a closed position. This is why people always point out that stock BOVs (GTR included) are open on idle, and the reason why I now need to buy an aftermarket one - mine's running atmo hence breathing unfiltered air :stupid:

I dont even understand what he is proposing to do

Imagine a T25 from a CA18 on a 6L V8.

The second you open the throttle you will see boost. Stao wants to make something like that which still works like the turbos we currently use there after. Eliminating the wait for power to come on, and has quoted he wants it to be a 500hp item.

Sounds good on the surface, yet as stated most of the more experienced users would appreciate some level of lag. But who knows, maybe the technology can be fine tuned further so that there's more leeway than currently being discussed.

I cut my factory BOV open and there is just a diaphragm, one spring and one piston. Once the bay pass whole is blocked the diaphragm gets sucked upwards and the piston opens. I sort of got it to work by placing a one way valve into the pipe that connects to the bov to inlet manifold.

As for the GenEses, I'm planning to use a high powered electrical motored duction fan working with a turbo. Can be high voltage external batteries based. The Fan only operates till the turbo takes over. Depending on how long the battery pack can last, we can wire 2 or more battery packs and have some thing switching between the battery packs when one is running low. That battery will have a 12V charger charging it when laid off. So a super responsive high efficiency turbo is required as a base for this setup.

Above is just a theory thing at early stage there will be lot more in it. Might or might not work and the finished product might be too expansive to sale. But would be good project to give a shot at proven its possible or not possible with what we've got.

There are lots of failed earlier examples that I've already known, so no need to post that. But do post constructive ideas and tell every one what you think that might make this work.

So electric supercharger at low revs, or it will assist the turbo in spooling up?

I have an idea, could you drive the turbo from the crank (like a supercharger) but use some sort of sprocket so that if the exhaust wants to turn the shaft faster than engine speed it can without issue? So basically it only saps energy from the crank at low engine speeds when the turbo wouldn't normally be spinning that speed, when there is enough exhaust energy the turbine takes over and spins it.

How does that sound? I don't know how you'd route the drive from the crank to where the turbo normally sits but I'm sure with enough money it could be done.

His idea of the electric fan is a good idea. I was thinking about having it belt driven yesterday when I read the initial idea. I don't think it will work. These turbos spin at 100000krpm. Our engines do what, 7? On idle the turbo will already be outspinning the engine...

There are these wonderful inventions called gears... how do you think super chargers work?

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • 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.
