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.

    • 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.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
