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

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
