laggy with the t51r? how much power are you making at 100kmph/4000rpm?

ive also had a massive headache with controlling boost. went from a 38mm gate to a 33 and then eventually to a 60mm gate ive currently got. took a good few months to sort that out =[

My dyno sheet doesnt start till about 4500 from the auto and we had to ease the throttle on in the midrange as it was wheel spinning.

As for power at 100kph, cruising in top gear at 100 and stand on the throttle it would just light up the 18s

All I did was have 1 fitting installed on the intercooler hot pipe if you dont already have one, then had a dyno run with the boost signal coming from the hot pipe. Then Trent plotted both the plenum boost and the hot pipe boost and you can see how the difference gets wider as rpm increases. Therefore, I would get a good result out of a better intercooler with less pressure drop (ignore the std turbo graph).

My mech says that the vavles have to be taken out a actually tested. With all that effort I decided to just buy brand new ones. Will have it fited in a week.

Managed to also back pressure test the exhaust. Less then 1psi all the way to redline.

Still have yet to test the cooler, will be sorted out soon.

Valves out to test?

Did you check the manifold pressure or the exhaust pressure? and what exhaust manifold are you using?

Notcied you said you were having heaps of boost control issues? manifold might be doing funky shit to the exhasust gasses at the collector

Was this under load? If not, it doesnt mean much. Without load the cat would have to be very blocked for it show up as a restriction. There was another thread about a car that was tested by free revving to have less than 1psi to redline and the cat still ended up being a restriction (ie more than 20-30rwkw).

The run was under load. I'm not running a cat and it's a 3.5 straight pipe exhaust system. I highly doubted it was the exhaust but got it out the way.

I seem to also be having cas problems. Symptoms recently included alot of misfiring on cruise and running rich. This wasn't a issue when we had the car fully tuned months ago but is halting our progress until resolved.

Of anyone can help me out it's a r33 rb26. Which CASs are interchangeable?

This sounds familiar, did I meet you at Status last wed?

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
