I would love to get my setup a bit more responsive than it is now, I have a hypergear atr28/g3 highflow on an auto rb25neo. Have nistune, exhaust, t-bar boost control stock injectors etc.

Getting 230rwkw at 15psi which is great but boost doesn't reach peak till almost 4000rpm.

Would changing the boost control to ebc or changing the stock actuator help it boost quicker or is it just the size of the turbo? Anything else i can add on other than a high stall on the auto?

Cheers...

shorter cooler pipen wil help a lil bit, dont go ebc,...... that equals more lag and spikes then tpeice, (been down the road myself $400 ebc = shit compare to $20 mech T-peice) maybe ur manifold aswell?

go with a decent EBC and you will notice a difference. with a t-piece you cant factor in the boost drop off that usually happens higher in the rev range, EBC can factor all this in.

4000rpm/15psi is average for 230rwkw.

Are you sure the actuator on there is solid and holding the gate shut? A few GCG hi-flows suffered from this in the earlu day where the preload was not enough.

Do a dyno run with a boost plot. Watch what it is like and it will tell you if a decent EBC will help you. If the boost plot comes on nice and strong and holds boost to redline than atleast you know an EBC will not help you.

I agree that 4000rpm to hit 15psi on a highflow is a bit average.

Regarding tuners i have used both status tuning and chasers and their both excellent tuners. All i know regarding the actuator is that its the stock neo one. would this be creeping open? dont know what the standard tension is but have heard of people using 14psi actuators?

Ask trent what he thinks about it then. Im sure he has a big wealth of knowledge :blink:

take the vac line off the actuator and see what rpm you hit your target boost. then see what sort of difference there is between that and what it normally is

depending what the tune is like atm, more timing coming onto boost can make a huge difference. i've added more than 20degrees of timing coming onto boost on my car from where a "professional" tuner had it, car feels completely different

Due to potential danger of this IMO its a bit reckless to suggest it without mentioning how to avoid the risk, so you should add to that "back off a soon as you hit you hit 15psi, or you could potentially damage the motor". And maybe also what this will achieve - "if the boost comes on earlier then you have a boost control issue. ". Perhaps the OP knows these things, perhaps not.

I disagree. A PROPERLY SETUP EBC will work at least as well as a t piece, and should work better.

Nitrous Oxide! it will bring it on REAL quick!

3lt bottom end will too.

Port work and cams

Higher static CR

Better bottomend/off boost tuning

Cam gear adjustment

Ball bearing core and billet comp wheel

Methanol and a bunch of timing

Wire the wastegate shut

Bigger/better dump pipe and exhaust set up

Heavier right foot

Get a bigger actuator before you get an EBC.

OR

Live with it... you have to sacrifice somthing for more power.

check the actuator and preload

check diff gears (manual has different to auto)

check tune

check tune

check tune

did i mention check the tune? ignition timing plays a bit part in how the car performs and more importantly comes on boost

check basics, check base timing with a timing light and make sure its correct , ie sluggish timing makes the car perform low across the board

i assume you want more responsivenesss since the turbo has been fitted

so we can assume its not an actual car problem, but more of a tune related problem, since the new turbo went on

so either the turbo is junk or the tune is poor or both

I disagree. A PROPERLY SETUP EBC will work at least as well as a t piece, and should work better.

Lol at least as well?? its $400 compare to $20 ??

if he has a boost holding issue it can also be an erray of things...

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
