Yeh, mine is a slip joint so you can plumb it back in the time it takes you to loosen then tighten two bolts. But its the difference you need in the tune that is the problem. Engine chokes on gases if you dont have a top shelf exhaust and takes less ignition and boost with the gate plumbed back.

yeah we'll be testing it on the dyno to see what effect it has.

So an update...

The HKS oil cooler and relo is now all connected. It takes a lot of oil now! Only thing left to do is a bit of guarding and ducting.

The GTX-3076r is in place with all intercooler piping made by Ace workshop and standard GTR BOV hiding under the front left.

Now for the custom exhaust. This thing is a piece of art!

This was custom built by Ace Workshop and I'm very impressed by the look and sound of it!

We had a broken AFM sensor wire that cought us out but when we got it running we were very happy with the sound of it :)

Tomorrow it is hitting the rollers!!!

That is some fiiiine workmanship there Russ :)

Keen to hear how you feel about your cheat-spec RB25 :) Not thatI'll ever go there myself, but I know you're straight up and experienced, and will give a good account of the difference in your car :)

Bit of a set back with tuning. The HKS 38mm wastegate didn't flow enough so the boost is not controllable from 5.5k up.

Even with the wastegate removed and just dumping straight out we got 10psi boost! That goes to show how good the big housing and flowing exhaust are! We'll probably be going to a Tial 44mm gate now. That means more exhaust modifications....

Unfortunately that puts me out for Deca next sat :(

Next planned debut might be winton on 13th June.

What do you mean by not controlleable? Too much boost and gate not opening? There are few cases of people having this problem with 6boost manifolds and it comes back to the gate being mounted too far from the collector. 6boost provide a 45deg elbow and best bet is to weld one side to the manufold collector and the other to the flange for the gate, making it as short as possible.

Like this...

this may not help but i got my Tial 44mm gate out of the states for under $400. it was delivered within a week once the payment was sorted.

it seems to be an issue on 25s with a 38mm gate. ive seen a few now with all kinds of manifold give trouble.

I have a ss exh manifold with a 3071R and a Tial 38mm gate with a 0.9 bar spring and running a apexi boost controller. I don't have any dramas with boost control but the apexi controller is a bit lazy and a hks one would be better.

Roy might be onto something with the manifold design, 10 pound with no gate does not sound good.

It's a 1.06 rear housing the flange is T4 so it's probably not like your setups. It's a pretty free exhaust housing. The wastegate must have a 7psi spring. Holds 7psi up to 5500 rpm then it spikes so it's opening fine but just isn't flowing enough. The pipe may also be too long like you said Troy. Thanks for the info!

I should be able to get a Tial 44mm for just under $400 trade price locally.

Russ I don't wanna sound like a tool but if you had no wastegate on the manifold at all I thought you would get way less than 10 psi more like 0-1 psi. I would be modifying the manifold first other wise it doesn't matter what gate you are running you will all ways get 10 psi.

what ever you decided I still like your car bud.

Good luck

Haha. No probs. I appreciate the feedback.

We have considered what you're talking about. We have to modify the manifold anyway now so we will probably do what Troy has suggested with moving the gate closer (easier now that we are getting a tial coz they're smaller), but we are planning on running about 18psi so the 44 should hopefully do the job.

Thinking about the path of least resistance and looking at the 1.06 housing vs the wastegate pipe, it's easy to see why the gasses want to flow through the turbo even having to spin the thing! Might be why people go the the lengths of twin gates on twin scroll setups I guess.

I think what you said above about 0-1psi would be true with a smaller housing.

I had the same problem with a 0.82ar gt35, 3.5" exh with a tial 44mm and the gate welded as per Roy's post. The problem & fix are pretty

well documented so I'm surprised you weren't made aware by Kyle when making the purchase.....

The main problem we had when tuning was massive boost creep at higher rpm.

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
