Boost Spiking Issues

I am at the end of my patience with this issue so i am hoping someone on here can point me in the right direction.

Current set up is a standard RB26 with ETM manifold and GT3582R with 0.82 rear housing with the wastegate off the housing mod done. Runs a Tial 44mm wastegate with 1bar spring and full 3 to 3.5inch exhaust. Runs 100mm cooler and Vipec ecu.

We have tried a new wastegate (turbosmart 45mm) plumbed in a new vac feed with bigger vac line (3/8th) dropped the screamer off the wastegate changed it back to the original 0.7bar spring all to no joy.

Boost goes up to spring pressure then creeps 1 or 2psi then spikes to 24psi

Any help with guys that have the same wastegate set up would be fantastic

Cheers Marty

Above is link to build up thread for reference. Also there is no EBC or bleed valve its just spring pressure. Wastegate was pulled apart and inspected to make sure all was well and appears to be fine :laugh:

I'm not that familiar with the wastegates running straight off the housings but could it be a case that the angle (or positioning) that the wastegate comes off from the housing is to sharp? This could cause turbulance and a pressure difference in the housing and therefore the path of least resistance would be through the housing causing boost increases instead of out from the gate?

Was the gate welded onto your housing by ETM or did you and Ben just pick a spot and chuck it on?

Just thinking a bit outside the box here given that you have tried a different gate.

Thats what i am hearing from a lot of people actually which is why i am leaning to plumbing it in like a traditional set up.

This kit and gate set up was done by ETM, no mods to his kit has been done

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.

      Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol

      remote oil cooler hose size, 8,10 or an12?

      -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      By nouveau_poor · Posted

      Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.

      More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
