Simple question, how big is yours?

I am doing a survey for an article and I really need some help..........

1. how much boost are you running

2. how many rwkw

3. how big is your wastegate

I don't care too much what brand of wastegate it is, but you can tell me if you like.

Thanks for your help.

Sorry Roy, I can't help you, I have never used GTR injectors in a GTST. We always use Series V RX7 Turbo injectors, they are high impedance 550 cc's.

Maybe someone else can though ................

Might as well stick Ben's R34 in here...........

1. how much boost are you running - 20 psi

2. how many rwkw - 290 rwkw

3. how big is your wastegate - Turbosmart 45 mm Progate

Next............

Thank you to the guys who have put up the 5 sets of data so far, I really would like another 10 or so. So if you know of anybody with an external wastegate on an RB, please give them a push to post their numbers.

Thanks

Hi guys, some interesting responses so far;

RWKW..... PSI.......WG mm

234..........15............45

235............8............35

250..........19............45

260..........18............40

270..........12............62

290..........20............45

309..........25............40

320..........20............45

367..........28............55

I would like a few more to give a decent sample, so prod your mates and get them to post theirs. PM me if you don't want others to know what you are running.

sydney kid, this is simply an idea i have, but yet to get any really tech imput on this. im thinking if it would be possible to run say 3 35 mm wastegates. which they open at different times. the only benefit ive been able to think of from this is simply if you want to run high and low boost you might be able to control the boost at low level smoother. just still its simply an idea not sure of the real benefits of problems that could come from this. or how to set up. sorry to jump onto your thread thought it might be worth mentioning here.

Hi guys,, I have received 10 replies for Skylines so far, I'd like another 10 or so. Just to confirm the formula. Then I will publish the findings and the application table, should be interesting.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
