Thanks guys.... haven't posted results yet because I dont have any.

Me and Toshi did the road tune, but we only got to 16 psi and then we noticed it was missing..

Fixed the miss and then noticed a few air leaks which I have now fixed.

Now Ive just gotta sort out a boost controller as my EVC isnt working and then Im good to do a proper dyno tune...

Cant wait to see what it puts out as its pretty wild atm and its only on 16psi.

Frys tyres when it hits boost in 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

Going to turn it up to 20psi and see what happens.

20psi? why stop there? lol

keep boosting till you find where it stops making power. tis what I will be doing with my SR SS1PU

On the SS series where people get big boost drops, is it worth trying the Gizzmo IBC-R EBC so you can set the gains

higher as rev rise to try counteract the drop in boost, or has anyone tried one and doesnt work ?, are they any good?

cheers

You need a strong actuator, but it needs to be installed after tuning preferably, (tuners don't like running it up on 20psi or more off the bat.) Once you have the stiff spring the electronic controller may have a chance of holding boost flat.

On the SS series plus other G series, they got updated wastegate setup now. The boost drop on those at about 20psi is around 2psi. If any one's got a huge 6~7psi drop then that has nothing to do with the actuator setup. It means its got some sort of restrictions more likely on the cold side. could be intake pipe, small cooler or blocked/bad/small piping.

You will find that by tabbing a boost gauge straight after the turbocharger and inside the plenum. If there are big differences then that is the problem. I'm seeing this often with return flow and some cheap ebay cooler kits. Reference is in page 83.

Some further updates on building the TD06/67 test rig. Car is now fitted with a Brae high mount manifold with our own 50mm external gate plumbed back with a 4inch exhaust exhaust.

Looks good. It did not come with a cheap price. All including the exhaust manifold, screamer, dump pipe plus installation comes to $1880 plus $250 for the external gate, including the turbocharger this kit comes to: $3230

How ever there is a very noticeable gain in mid top end torque without noticing the lose of response.

I will use this test rig to trail all the TDxx as well as the existing ATR43 turbochargers. This setup should provide the best possibly environment for the performance of any turbochargers, and is whats expected on a welly built track car. The end results will vary if components of the setup is differ.

Externally gated turbochargers are cheaper to produce.

haha dont push it too hard till its tuned :P ecu is map sensor based remember :P

hooo crap. I was red lining it 5th gear and my speedo pointed at 10km/H. Its still using the same turbocharger, external gate was holding pretty flat 20psi, in theory the exhaust side should be cooler compare to stock manifold, I didn't hear any knock, hopefully engine's alright. Or will be rebuilding it again for 2013.

Yes I was sitting in a hoist :P

This is my first batch of 25G billet compressor wheels. I've customized the wheel hub and fitted much larger blade with taller profile. I'm hopping to peek around 400rwkws on stock cams before hitting 7000RPMs on E85.

So dimension wise, do the T67's fit on the stock manifold with a spacer if you have one laying around there?

Are the comp covers any bigger than 3540 .70's ?

(and yeh i know you will say it makes to much power for stock mani, but thats not my question..lol)

cheers

If ron can fit a 5558 between the strut tower with a 12mm spacer im sure the T67 will fit too.

Im confident the comp cover will be similar in size to stao's .70 or a T04Z/precision etc. No issue there.

The issue is more so that the exhaust housing flange will be a different distance from the centre point of the CHRA. Realistically it makes no difference how much spacer plate you use provided that the comp housing clears the exhaust manifold.

It's a large housing, not sure it will fit on the stock manifold...

thats all anyone ever writes..lol, (not being rude) but 3540's fit on stockers, surely it can't be to much larger(if any)

be nice to know exactly by someone that actually had both for once, so its not misinformation.

Not thinking stocker mani, be interesting if it fitted on a BREA or NZ style sidemount

the 5558 would be .60 3076 in size would it not?(thats what it looks like in pics) , bit smaller than the .70's

cheers

Hey Stao, I'm still digging the development your pooring into your products..... AND freely sharing the info.

I'm hoping you have a little something in your bag of tricks that can help me..

I drive a S2 (rb25 neo) stagea as a daily... usual mods (fmic, full 3" exhaust, nistune, fuel pump etc...) Do you have a bolt in turbo option/combination that will come on power earlier than the standard turbo? But still make the same or more power. Essentially making it feel like a bigger engine.

I'd like to cap the boost around 18psi

Cheers

Justin

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
