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.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
