hey every one

i have been looking a while now and would like some opinions.

i am looking for an external wastegate to suit the setup im putting together on my r33 atm.

setup consists of:

standard rb25 with replaced head gasket and stud kit.

6 boost external gate manifold,

gt3082 with a .63 rear housing,

plazmaman plenum,

wolf v500 (afm removed),

750 cc injectors (may go e85 later on)

surge tank with 044,

exhaust, intake and fmic as always lol,

a turbosmartkompact plumback Bov.

i think they are all the mods related to the topic.

i am pretty keen on the new comp gate 40mm wastegate from turbosmart, would it be suitable with my setup or if not what should i look for

i am planning on having it run at 18 psi.

what are your thoughts?

Not the best choice of rear housing IMO, doesnt really justfiy/support the expense of aftermarket manifolds/intakes etc as the turbo is going to be choked to the heavens

As for gate sizing, read the FI Guide ;)

Tial MVR.

Cheap, reliable, well engieered, v-banded for easy installation.

Did I mention they are cheap?

Confuses me why people spend $500-600 on turbosmart gates, they are good, but wayyy too expensive! Especially when there's cheaper alternatives for half the price that are just as good!

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
