Teaser video of my car running again:

Mate was driving and was too nervous to drive it hard, so when I can drive again I'll get some better footage.

Can't watch the video brah

That's an impressive result, Stao. Really holds on up top now. Defo worth the effort of dual actuators IMO.

It made barely any difference Aaron, the dyno result was from two different AR rear housings if I read it right.

Stao, were they 20psi actuators?

We are talking about 1.2psi gain, not a mojor but there is a difference, notice the shape of the curve too. The 20psi actuator still had 3psi drop. this sheet was taken when using the same turbine housing

compare to:

The SS1PU probably had the most boost drop internally gated, this actuator setup should work well with that.

Do you bore out the wastegate hole Stao?

Maybe you could look at the EFR turbos and borrow some ideas from them to come up with a better rear housing design?

The SS1PU due to the higher pressure in the exhaust manifold, too much pressure here would cause heat issues though, you need an exhaust temp sensor in the manifold imo Stao.

Have you incorperated the longer actuator arm for more leverage also?

Ahh crap, I missed that the bottom graph was the two different rears.

Please refer to post 6125. They are identical turbochargers, both with .82 type B rear housings just different actuator setup.

Talk about great service!

I ordered my turbo on Monday, it was built and is already in the post. Stao has still been answering my queries and testing products in between, now that's what I call great service :)

Different arm to mine but looks to be similar length so should have same leverage

Stao mine has the longer arm and I lose 2psi up top. Is it worth loosening the screws and extending it out to the edge of have you tried that and made little difference?

Speaking of restrictions...both my cams look a couple degrees retarded. Might have to grab an adjustable gear for exhaust cam. Obviously need to put a dial gauge on and check for sure but if I see cheap cam gears in Japan next week ill be all over em

    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
