That car was with the Nistune with Z32 ECU.

Manifold is good as in haven't cracked yet and there is a slight improvement in up top torque. I will install the G3 back in and see if there are any advantages in overall performance before making quantity and offer to sell.

This housing make lot more down low torque, pretty good to drive as daily.

Can you please PM me with your experience of these guys? I'm not using this turbo but I have some tuning work i need done soon and I have been considering these guys as they are just up the road from me.

For those in WA or Perth with a Hypergear turbo, i would suggest taking it to Garage 101 to get it tuned.

I've mainly had WA customers experiencing problems with tuning, which is also the first time it cames to my awareness as an issue. I've never thought the "tune" would make that much difference as most tuners I've used in Melbourne are good and getting close results.

Also make sure the car is running 100% before taking to the tuners, most of them would just chuck it on the dyno without knowing if there is an issue. becuase of that, figures could be way off the norm and possibly cause damanges to the engine.

I wouldn't blame the tuners around here in the sense that the tune itself is bad, but one thing I can say about a lot of Perth workshops is they don't go the extra mile to diagnose your car. My current tuner and my last tuner are both the same, they are more than willing to help if I'm telling them what I want done but they don't have much to say if it doesn't work as expected. I guess that's fair enough too, they are busy people, but I see the likes of Jez and Trent on here helping people out left right and center and you can tell it translates into their work.

I might give Garage 101 a go if my next tune doesn't have any luck, but unfortunately they are a bit far away from me, can't trailer the car there for the next tune. Looking forward to seeing how it goes though, I'll update when I have a result.

Everything seems to be on track with my build.

The SS1PU is in the car and just waiting on a 24mm socket to fix up the water lines.

Holy hell it was a job and a half in slowly bending the lines to suit the turbo.

The 3' intake is currently on its way.

Should have results by Saturday for everyone.

Please post pics of the intake pipe if u can, where'd did u get it made and how much? Or backyard jobbie.

Scotty mn35 he spends most of his time in the fabrication section.

He is knocking me up one with all the joiners included for around $250

Spray it black and that's a nice looking intake pipe you have there. I'm getting Racepace to make me up one = $$$$ lol.

How long do you think the whole job will have taken you by the time you're done? In retrospect would you have paid someone else to do it instead?

With any luck I might have my results by tomorrow night :)

I hope you have the results by tomorrow Birds that would be great.

To be honest I love learning as much as I can about my car so it was worth the time it took.

I started on Tuesday last week with pulling the front bar off respraying that and cleaning the intercooler.

Then I had to wait for a few parts to show up and so all up I think you could do it in 3-4 afternoons.

1 Afternoon taking the dump off and the turbo.

1 Afternoon wiring up the Z32 AFM + Bashing the gutts of the Cat

1 and half afternoons fitting the turbo back and fixing the dump

Stao which G3 model would you recommend for an RB30DET? (older .82 model or FNT revision)

Assume it is a slapper aiming for a very punchy 300rwkw. Will be heavily tracked.

Thanks mate, yeah spray it black as Birds said. Did you just wire up an extra plug on the existing AFM loom for the Z32, I have yet to do mine, and yes its all fun mate.

I wana do this too but dont want flames shooting out my exhaust and a massive fine too lol. How did you bash it, screwdriver and hammer? haha

lead pipe works better

flames are awesome.

You can get big flames with a cat if you mess with the tune, that or run an atmo bov with a MAF and get the exhaust stinking hot.

Haha read my Sig regarding flames.

I will be spray all my piping black to draw less attention and to get a whole black theme look with my car.

With the cat I just used my boot holder (a long bit of wood haha) + hammer.

To be honest as soon as well put an upgraded turbo and injectors etc. Its not going to pass emissions test anyway.

Ohh and with the Z32 I just wired up a female plug to my car.

Then a male plug to both of the AFM's so its an easy change over

Rubbish, that's all in the tune not the hardware. My mechanic builds 500hp+ RB motors regularly and always gets them engineered, they pass the emissions tests no problems.

Sorry I should have just said I do not expect to pass one with my new turbo etc.

So I thought why not get the best flow out of my exhaust I could.

Plus flames are fulleh sik

Just a warning on the bashed out cats - they are harder to pick up on than a straight pipe, but the fine for having no cat is substantially more than a standard EPA violation notice for not passing emissions or having illegal mods. From memory it was $2000+

My cat is empty and I've never seen any flames....I am disappoint

Mine is also pretty tame normally, but on the track it was rolling out MASSIVE dragon shit at some stages. It had to do with how rich it was running, after a few consistent laps and a bad rad cap my water temp went a little high and the ecu was compensating with fuel.

Shame nistune doesnt have decel enrichment :( Awesome flames!

    • A few things that seem a bit off here. - why is there 2 BOV’s?  - the turbo smart BOV on the compressor housing, is it turned up ALL the way? I have seen this become an issue on old man Pete’s car. It would push open and recirc, turbo speed would rise and the boost pressure would do weird things. - stock head? Does that include springs? - tried a different MAC valve? Is it plumbed correctly?
    • Photo of manifold showing gate location? I mean, it's 6Boost, so we probably shouldn't be worrying, but always wroth knowing what the layout is. Plumbed back to atmosphere? Or into the dump?
    • Yes correct. Also, I'd avoid applying it to soft paint (however I doubt you'll ever have to deal with it in practice). So any paint that hasn't fully hardened, could be a 1k paint that never fully hardened or it could be a 2k paint that was laid down thick and hasn't yet fully hardened. 
    • Bit of an update to this one. Having some issues on the dyno that held us back (boost spiking) and I want to pass some info over you guys and see what you think is wrong with my setup. The current readout on this dyno is 462rwkw on a low reading dyno so keep in mind it is a real world 500rwkw setup on a hub dyno. Don't read into the power figure too much as a sign of the issue. The short and curly of it is: 2.8 Litre Racepace build RB25 NEO N/A Head with VCT (internally standard however ) Borgwarner EFR 8474  Turbosmart 50mm Straight Gate + Mac valve 6Boost Manifold 4" dump to full 4" exhaust (nil restrictions) Wastegate plumbed back in and all angles in the exhaust system are acceptable and not too sharp. GFB SV52 BOV in cooler piping  Turbosmart BOV in EFR Housing   The issue we are having is it comes onto full boost for example at 4000rpm and spikes to 24/25psi, before dropping down to 17psi before slowly rising back up to the target boost of 23psi. It was extremely uncontrollable and the tuner actually had to ramp in boost progrssively with each 1000rpm on each boost setting we selected to try and reduce the amount of spiking. Sometimes we would see a drop of 10psi from the peak at the beginning of the run, to the low, until it took the next 500-1000rpm to stabilise back up to the target boost. The tuner is pretty confident that the straight gate is just a poorly designed product and leaks too much boost upon cracking the gate open and theres no way to fix it other than going to a poppet valve. He's also confient theres no ignition breakdown or floating valves. The fueling is extremely stable as well. Turbo speed is somewhere around the 109,000rpm area. The spanner in the works for me is that prior to this Borgwarner and StraightGate, the car was tuned on -5 twins at a diferent tuner, and he also had issues controlling the boost with it spiking around the same rpm range, so to me this sounds like the same issue and it can't be anything on the turbo side as this was all changed and I think the behaviour is extremely similar, if not the same. We also removed the mac valve and did a run on wastegate pressure and it still spiked and had the same behaviour. My thoughts on possibilities are: Boost Leak VCT Cam Gear isn't reliably activating consistently - (On this however, we did a run with the VCT disabled and the boost still spiked) Turbosmart BOV is not handling the boost? However this seems unlikely to not be able to handle 20psi. I have a couple of logs that I can't make sense of if anybody knows how to read them and can obtain further logs of other parameters if they are not enough, happy to pay for anyones time. The dyno readout with the power figure is the most recent last week. The other picture is from two weeks prior to that where we couldn't break 400kw (we removed the cat), however the issue of the boost control persisted. @Lithium @Piggaz @burn4005 @GTSBoy @discopotato03 I've tagged those that were quite active in recent pages here, no disrespect to those that know turbos well but I missed tagging. Cheers
