when using one of those JJR split dump/front pipes on a standard turbo around 12psi most people run into boost creep issues because of the wastegate flap fouling on the pipe

would this still happen on a highflow ?(the standard highflow from hypergear)

would preloading the wastegate make any difference? or would i have to modify the actual dump pipe

(i havnt actually seen how the wastegate fouls on the dumps so im just going of what ive read)

It fouls on the pipe on the inside, you need to clean out the inside to clear it. (Or i did anyway) High flow of not, its still opening in the same place :blush:

My advice is to sell it, and get a bellmouth made up, or get a front pipe, and have a dump made. The splits seem to cause problems.

Even after cleaning mine up, letting the wategate clear, it was still spiking. So i got a custom front/dump made and havnt had problems since.

You call though.

well my turbos getting highflowed atm. if its just die grinding and test fitting should be fairly easy as it'll all be off the car.

did u get a custom split or bellmouth made up? how much did it cost?

i had a big problem with boost creep when running a split dump on my high flow. i the end i put a 2 1/2 inch restrictior plate in the exhaust to hold the boost down to 12 psi until i got injectors in and then let it go to 15 psi. i also put a bell mouth on and still boost creeped. i also think the tune had a bit to it as a rich tune will put more fuel in and cause more exhaust gasses.

boost creep sucks! on my hks 2530 on my old RB20.. ihad a split dump and boost creep was crazy.. i pissed the split dump pipe off and got a nice 3.5" made by an exhaust shop.. all under 200 $$ and now no more boost creep! the problem was the wastgate flap would hit on the small split pipe and wouldnt give it enuph room to open fully to hold the boost!

    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
