600hp tial housing? as in one of the new s/s casted v band rear housing? if so.....*drooooool* Would be interesting to see how they work..unless your talking about a gate, not exhaust housing.

People can get to 400rwkws. Easily without many mods 320-350rwkw. As usual depends on head work, cams and the rest.

atm, we have a gt35r with a 1.06 rear making 390rwkws on 20psi.

Only natural I guess since its now a common issue that alot of people are experiencing with merge collector manifolds.

Out of curiosity when did he not admit it, or atleast to you?

Yes directly before the sale and then once running when I was experiencing problems. I'd rather not get this thread shut down so I'll leave it at that.

fair enough mate.

How difficult is it to cut into the exhaust housing to make that modification for the wastegate? Can it be done at home if you have the necessary skills/tools i.e. is it simply cutting a 45mm (45mm gate) size hole anywhere on the exhaust housing and welding a bend to it?

I found a point where i thought the gas would flow nicely into the outlet and then used a holesaw to cut the hole where i wanted it, did some cleaning up and radiusing with the die grinder and then cut my 90 bend and shaped it to sit over it how i wanted then tig'd it on. I imagine you should preheat the housing around the area where you weld it...I just let it the heat build up with the tig before actually welding it on....not the best way but its worked without any problems...did this fix on both the road car and race car.

I did it all at work with a dummy head and rocker cover and fitted it all up so it would all clear and whatnot...unless youve done it before, i dont know how well you will do it by having a guess at it.

Hole size was more like 30mm from memory as you cant take a 45mm chunk out as the section of housing is only about that wide overall....once you have a closer look at the actual inside area of where you want to put the outlet on it you will see just how big a hole you can cut.

I imagine if you had the skills and tools you could easily do it at home.

It's nice to see you guys have welded the gate pipe tangential to the exh housing, most people seem to weld it on at right angles which can't be doing them any favours!

I think its a little easier with the 1.06 housing as well due to the shape. Im not a massive fan of how mine looks and may heatwrap the screamer pipe to make it look a tad tider, but the cars a race hack so i shouldnt care too much.

I brought this housing brand new for 250NZD from a friend who didnt use it, but i think they are normally 450AUSish. Its cheaper to weld into the housing and replace it if you ever sell the turbo than spend a huge amount on a 60mm wastegate.

You never said what intercooler you are using and what size piping? Unless I missed it.

But to reach 400rwkws, you will need 3" inch intercooler piping everywhere and atleast a 100mm thick cooler. Years ago we stonewalled around 320-330rwkws on our race car and it turned out our i/c piping and intercooler were too small. Got a new i/c from ARE and I made new piping (3") as per above and our power jumped straight up to 380 or 390rwkws. RB30det much the same as yours.

the cooler is a a just jap thing, nothing special. its got 3" piping on the int side and 2.5 on the exh side. the reason for this was because of the q45 afm we used back wen we were using a normal PFC but have since switched to a D Jetro (Mafless)

thanks so much for the tip on 3" piping. i never would of thought it would be that much of an issue. are you sure you didnt change anything else?

was there a bi difference in lag when upgrading to 3"?

cheers

Or done any other testing as people have advised...

BTW (incase you didnt see), there are now two threads existing on this :/

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ad...20#entry5205066

sorry about the other thread, it did get sort of side tracked. on that thred but it was purely about the cams. ill stick to this thread.

do you know who offers 100mm core coolers? as far as i know trust have a drag cooler that is 100mm.

It only became sidetracked because you still haven't done any actual problem/fix testing after 6 months... And you've LOST more power... so clearly something is fked and getting worse.

So until you workout where the problems are, you shouldn't be going and changing other bits'n'pieces in the hope it will "fix" it - because unfortuantely it won't :/

I missed the other thread. Well that explains more.

Its possible the extra boost is causing issues with power making because of the restriction in the i/c and part of the piping and if there is alot of back pressure in the exhaust then thats only making the problem worse.

Perhaps a gauge in the exhaust to measure what back pressure you have with your current system.

i guess the first thing ill do is order a new cooler and then drop the exhaust to see if there are any major gains.

ive been sifting through my intercooler options and i think i might get one of those NISMO ones. nengun advertising for just over 2k delivered. yum

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
