Maybe kind of weired questions, but what do you guys do with th bov, use stock one, block off or replace. And if you keep using them, aren't there some leaks ?

I bought a Turbosmart Kompact PB from Scotty's customs. Works a treat Stao also recommends changing stock one.

People also say you can use the GTR one

Using stock bov, nothing wrong with the GTT one at this power lever (sub 300).

Do those earl kits suit GT30 etc turbo's or only for stock replacement? and do they have the required restrictor or is the restrictor in the turbo already?

Using stock bov, nothing wrong with the GTT one at this power lever (sub 300).

Mine started to leak after around 6 months, mostly driven on low boost (284rwkw at 15psi) had to replace with a GFB plumb back and adjusted the spring tension to max. Made a massive difference. For a small amount of money I'd say its worth upgrading

delete BOV, done :)

Sounds mad too and gets the bitches - HWP may or may not love it though :P

Disregarding the legalities behind decat, Stao on your test cases did any of them have a cat converter? I would be interested to know how the exhaust tee compares/ed to the decat - I recall talking to Johnny and he mentioned 10kw gain just by going decat IIRC.

Water fitting on the ATR4xx turbochargers are in M18x1.5 same as OEM.

To get full power from the ATR45SAT internally gated version. It needs to be either in a 4 inches exhaust or a 3 inches pipe with 2.5 inches tee off factory front pipe. Exhaust on and exhaust dropped makes a noticeable difference in power.

mine leaked straight away at 260rwkw through a auto..it leaked so much the external wastegate didnt open..lol

still made 260rwkw at 16psi on 98 octane with a hypergear g3 and a auto

cheers

Hi All,

Just an FYI that Stao and I came across - I tested having the boost controller hooked up between the compressor housing and the actuator and then the charge pipe and the actuator. It seems that having it on the charge pipe I can achieve greater levels of boost across the board. I.E couldn't make 1 bar in first or second gear now it makes this and peaks at 18psi in third and so on easier now.

Quoting Stao's response after my test:

This experiment means there is quite a bit of pressure drop across the cooler, so the high pressure side would be opening the gate earlier while the lower pressure side will be holding the gate shut for longer, hence the boost gain. This is a good result, you might want to mention that in corresponding threads.

Hope this helps someone else with the same turbo (ATR45SAT on RB25)

Kind of weird this matters, because a decent boost controller or even better, a decent ECU, manages the boost pressure with as reference the Map sensor, so even with a boost drop over the core, the boost controller should add a bigger amount of duty cycle at the boost solenoid leading to the actually boost pressure you want to entering the engine ... IMHO

Thats because the pressure differences between your cooler, helps someone with the same cooler kit maybe. Makes no differences on my truck cooler :laugh:.

It is best sourcing waste gate pressure after throttle body, that gets rid of the variations of cooler kit.

You mean after the intercooler but before the throttle body, ie cold side :)

Taking pressure from the plenum to control either your internal or external gate will cause issues.

Yep makes sense now I think of it. Most people run the blitz coolers (like mine) so i would hope it helps a lot of people. What cooler are you running? Pics or gtfo :P

-------------

Charge pipe pre throttle body yielded the best results for me - Boost pressure is now about where I expect it to be but still suffering pressure dropping. I'll confirm by running the boost gauge pre cooler this weekend.

Just an update, I still haven't removed my old turbo.. I am so lazy these days..

New Year's resolution, remove turbo and send back to Hypergear for an upgrade :)

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
