Twin Scroll = Larger turbine housing a/r needed, as the effective volume inside is reduced by the divider.

so instead of a .82 GT30 housings you would use a 1.06 in twin-scroll form

I'm pretty sure the .82 equivalent in a twin scroll is a .84 rear housing. So by cutting in the divider I probable ending up with a .80 rear.

You can find FNT feed back from Random in page 87. Check index on page 1.

Any way. lots of talk about twin scroll turbine housings. At this stage I'm not convinced that they has a "major" affect but welling to do some tests.

So, we all know the air gap inside the turbine housing is the height of the inducer blade of the turbine wheel.

By placing a metal strip in between and half the gap is actually reducing the area of the gap enabling higher air velocity. To me this is another way of sacrificing top end power for down low response unless the size of the turbine wheel and housing is in a reasonably large size.

Theoretically I can archive this behavior by reducing the gap height at only 60~70% of the turbine wheel top without the divider in the center.

I've done a drawing converting single scrolled turbine housing into a twin scroll item, internal or dual gate bolt on to stock setup of course. Good thing is I can setup dual effective FNT nozzles inside that housing for even better response. I'll be doing a back to back tests using a G3 core. hopefully it's worth the effort.

Any way, Do post up if you have any experiences or back to back tests with single to twin scroll turbine housings.

I had a look at that chart on page 103 ( I think)of all your turbo's on the power/drivability chart.

The atr43SS seems to really walk all over the g3. Is the difference between these two turbo's only the billet comp wheel.

stao can you get a single scroll housing for your atr45 and adapt fnt nozzles to suit?

When are you testing the dual nozzles in the G3?

The SS series is a turbo that is very specifically made for RB25det. Won't work on your Rb30det. Also the G3 result used on the chart is not based on the current version. I should have some current G3 results this weekend.

I am very interested to see these results stao.

What is on the cards this weekend?

Who is using the stock R33 blow off valve? Has anyone had a problem with them after their turbo upgrade?

Im looking to install my SS1PU next week and im not sure if I need to buy an aftermarket one. Would prefer not to in any case to keep it stock as possible.

you can mod the stock BOV to hold more boost anyway if you have issues

If it is working fine now there is no reason why it should stop working with the new turbo. The way the BOV diaphram works means more boost doesn't make it more likely to leak, as more boost means you have more boost on both sides of it, eg there's more boost in the intake, but there is also more boost in the vac tube holding it closed.

You can mod them to change their behaviour on light throttle/going from full throttle to half throttle so they don't open as easily, but there isn't really any need imo.

Am not sure how a 20 year old diaphragm would cope with a 30+psi setup lol

They are out there now, big boost is becoming more and more acceptable and most manufacturers are producing big boost wanting replacements to their older models (BW and the big G inclusive).

I would compare the situation to using an expired rubber straight out of lock up. Asking for trouble.

Go look at a diagraph of a BOV, the 30psi is on both sides of the diaphram hence it doesn't open, you could put 100psi through it and assuming the piping itself could take it there is no reason why it would open either.

The force holding it closed is identical to the force on the inside pipe. As both sides of the diaphram are the same size, and there is identical pressure on both sides the force is the same hence it doesn't open, doesn't matter how much boost you run, it will never open.

The only reason it ever opens is as when you close the throttle there is a huge pressure spike near the bov, this spike is greater than the pressure at the intake manifold end, hence one pressure is greater than the other, hence the force allows the diaphram to open, there has to be quite a large pressure differential to open it though due to the spring.

Depending on the design of the BOV you can get a pressure differential on vac conditions, this allows the bov to open on low throttle bypassing the turbo completely which imo is a good thing.

There is a fantastic diagram here on wiki

http://en.wikipedia....i/Blowoff_valve

Have a look at the on throttle vs off throttle picture, it becomes blatantly obvious why it won't leak even with say 30psi.

Edited by Rolls

Ive got the stock BOV and under 20psi it doesn't open up. Remember, as said above, there is also a line to the top of the BOV applying Xpsi to the top of the valve to keep it shut.

Thanks Sarge, this was the answer I was looking for - someone who has tried it already ;) Stao was not completely confident there would be no issues when I asked him on the phone and I have seen first hand problems with the stock item on SR20s (looks similar, not sure if its the same as rb25). I will get my tuner's opinion as well.

There is a rubber seal inside that will come in contact with fuel and other crap floating around in the motors system.

Think: rubber, fuel, oil, heat, pressure, AGE.

It is guaranteed that the thing has a used by date, and Im pretty sure 20 years of regular duty will have an impact. Especially when a lot of imports sit around on shipping docks forever before their final fate is determined.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
