Oh they have a 45mm again?

Last time i checked (admittadly a while ago) they stopped making the 45mm ones and went to 48mm or something like that.

Going back 6 yrs now mine was a 45mm progate - so the 45mm item should be perfectly fine

Make sure you get extra springs.

I remember when mine came it only had a 10psi spring combo in the box

I needed to get extra springs ordered in to get it holding 16-17psi consistently :cool:

Given you want the gate to set as close to the desired boost as possible etc. Less change of gate creep which i had using a 7psi spring (and trying to run 17psi lol).

Soon as the springs were changed out it was all spot on.

Turbosmart 48mm would be a good choice, or anything around the 45-48mm marker.

Same as what i ran with a GT3040 (550-600hp)

Out of curiosity what did you make RWKW from that setup

270rwkw @ 16-17psi

369rwkw @ 24psi (sunoco104, i could run approx 8-10 degrees extra timing across the entire map, venting gate etc)

The 3" exhaust i had @ the time was terrible and holding it back on PULP with the gate plumbed in as well :/

Wish i had the exhaust i have now. Would have seen around 300-320rwkw on 20-22psi, perhaps even a tad more as it made 250rwkw @ 1bar.

Given we have E85 around, you could probably add another 40rwkw to whatever figure as well. Would have been interesting :cool:

Nice, definitely interesting results.

Although I am far from an E85 fan boy, but I am one of few and as we know majority rules :cool: So ill can it right the

Similar to you, exhaust is my current dilemma. I dont want to change away from what I have although have intention to lean as hard as I can on a fairly basic setup. I want to set a reference point for the turbo really.. Unit is an off the shelf 3037, .87 rear, 80mm surge cover.

I see you refer to your results often, although have been yet to find them in the dyno threads. Thanks for sharing.

Never got a chance to upload the 369rwkw run as that was from Autosalon & never got a print out (you can see it on youtube tho)

The 270rwkw run i think i have a sheet for somewhere. I'll have a look. Was what... 5yrs ago now so not entirely sure! :cool:

Sorry for hijackings :/

      GOT SUM's RB34

      By klutched · Posted

      Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.

      So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.

      Gave the Mazda it's first wash, it will need some clay, a light compound, and polish polish to remove a few swirl marks, but that will be a job for when I have a full day to get my DA polisher action on

      Just did this job on my 32 with the boost doc kit. was quite simple to fit, hardest part was getting the rubber bungs back on the firewall. does anyone know how the heater will work now without the flap in the bend? Will I just have a heater on 24/7 now?
