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...

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
