Turbo feels like it will make heaps of power and feels pretty responsive considering I doubled the a/r on the exhuast housing. Might boost it to 12psi to see if theres a big change. I just can't believe how well the tial controls the boost. Nothing comes out The screamer until like 9-9.5 psi.

Did a naughty today and gave my car some full boost in a couple of gears to test the new clutch; I'm supposed to be running in a gearbox...

Fark me, not sure if I'll need E-flex straight away. On the freeway ramp 2nd took me there so fast I couldn't even enjoy it lol. And third gear roll from 80km/h is ridiculously good fun. <3 SS1PU

Now to be good for the rest of my gearbox run in period :/

Lol..yeah i was amazed how fast my car actually was with a decent clutch installed too.... anything over 4000rpm just gets scary now :laugh:

Can't wait to see the tune results

Stao, have you ever thought about doing a twin scroll turbine housing or are they too expensive to produce?

The turbo is not expansive to produce. all I have to do is slot the .82 rear housing in the center and insert an divider then profile the housing to suit turbine wheel, and we have a real twin scroll turbine housing. How ever it must be used on a twin scroll manifold as well external gate (preferably 2).

any chance of a internally gated twin scroll? I'll be down for that!

Didn't KKR produced a twins scroll internally gated turbine housing for their KKR480 and 560 turbos years back? It ring a bell as I have read many complaints about their lack in ability of boost control.

Wouldn't surprise me if they struggled with boost control. There is probably a reason you don't see many, if any twin scroll internally gated turbine housings

EVOs, STIs run internally gated twin scrolls. I just want it for simplicity & the "kinda" stock look instead of 2x gates hanging off the manifold.

Yeh, itd definently be worth a try i think, providing you can get it to control boost well. Sure as hell beats having to fiddle with plumbing up two external gates in that limited space.

One external gate is fine if you run the splitter right up to the gate valve.

I just don't think there is room to effectively flow the gasses on internally gated housings, other than the BW, they nailed it, but it makes the rear housing too large.

picka-boo TiAL :D ... pretty happy with the end result.

only on 10psi at the moment but holds dead flat, car is alot faster and spins all off second if i dump the clutch which it wouldn't do before.

Booking a tune at Chequered Tuning next week, aiming for 280rwkw at 18-19psi

do you have photos of the manifold? I'm curious :)

Just Google rb25 manifold lol. I haven't done anything to manifold. The external gate is off the rear housing. It was cheaper, easier, and I could use my factory crossover pipe with no mods. Just have to chop up the heat shield a bit.

LOL

got photos of the rear housing?

derrrr a few pages back lol nvm... I notice the internal gate is still there??

Edited by johnnilicte

Haha. Dual gate is true. But the internal one is locked of with a pin and is nice and sealed. I did it so I have better resale value as well as the option to use it for EPA excuses/rectification and the most important reason for me, bolts to existing dump pipe. Nice and easy

Just got to read from the photos onwards

    • 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.
