Good day guys,

I remember reading a thread some time ago about someone wanting to modify their dump pipe for a GT3076R and there were some very useful photos included there...i can't seem to find the thread after 2 hours of searching...can someone point me to that post if possible? I'm having boost spiking issues with me 3076 on a 2JZ and i suspect it could be due to my dump pipe design...

Cheers.

got a pic of your dump? i have a bellmouth style dump on my iw3076 and boost control is fine, altho i think its creating way too much turbulence, considering making a split dump for it.

Boost spike?

Are you sure its not boost dropping off?

A spike is a really quick spike of boost not where it peaks up through mid range and drops off at top end. Typically related to preload being way too high or a cheap bleed valve.

If your running IW don't expect spectacular boost control if your trying to push more than 2-3psi more than the actuator is rated at. The same goes for the GT35 IW's.

Best bet for the GT30.. Throw an actuator on it that is rated for the boost level you intend to run of which with cams on pump fuel is around 18-20psi. E85 up to 25psi.

If you dont boost WILL peak up then tail off really quick to a couple of psi (if that) above what the actuator is rated to.

Yeah...it is spiking or should i say climbing uncontrollably...i'm trying to keep at at 15-16psi but it just shoots up to 20+ regardless...i even disconnected the actuator arm to see if it was actuator related but its not...boost still shoots way up so that rules out the wastegate...the flap also opens fully so its not that...therefore its pointing to the custom CES style split dump somehow not scavenging the wastegate gases fast enough...it seems that most people running 3076s are running a bell mouth type dump too which might be my next step...

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
