Hey all

Going for the old GT35 single conversion for my rb26 but the more and more i search up about wastegates, the more i am confused.. It seems the same size in different brands seem to flow differently

What size and brand wastgate do people recommend for a gt35 0.82 running on a stock rb26 to net perfect boost control? Id like to run boost control without an EBC if possible :D

Snozzle, can't speak from experience as it's not running but I using an old style turbosmart 48mm progate there is a thread that has a few equations to work out what size u need but a little confusing for me.

Tial 44mm MVR gate will be perfect and for under $400 delivered off ebay you can not go wrong :)

Running without a EBC is like trying to run with one hand tied behind your back, yes you can do it but you won't get the best result!

Weren't you guys running larger wastegates to help with boost control? I guess this will also depend on the manifold Snozzle is planning to run.

the current turbosmart gates look quite good. i've personally had success with the HKS GT2 gates and sold a few and all got nice stable boost control regadless of high or lower boost levels. they are not cheap but they are a beautiful gate. come in 50 or 60mm too.

Well i called kyle today and he told me the 44mm is too small and will cause boost spiking, he said the 50mm turbosmart gate is what he would recommend, he said the 44mm may work if its located on the top housing but even then, its not gauranteed and is much more expensive to do.

i think im set on a 50mm gate now which will be run off the manifold, i dont want to touch the rear housing of the turbo

cheers for the input guys

I guess 50mm is way to go,I'm running 44mm TIAL off 6boost mani and it's was working fine for running boost of 19 and 21psi,but once it was turn to 24psi it started spiking so I'm thinking I need bigger gate or new tuner :ermm:

I ran a 44mm on the gtr with 6boost and it was a tad on the small size but was still holding 18psi flat. New car runs a tial 44mm mvr and will hold 14psi dead flat.

We did use a 60mm tial on brads 34 but that is overkill and sounds gay :-)

50mm would probably be one oversize but work well. I just love these tial 44mm mvr, so small, cheap and work perfect

Yeh I was hinting at the manifold mods required to make a 6boob/44mm combo work :)

I have a synchronic 50mm w/g coming off the turbine housing - which is recommended as the best place for max boost control - on my GT3540 on a Sinco customs manifold (similar to 6Boost) on an RB30. This w/g is highly adjustable so that it could be used to set boost figure quite closely but the Link boost control function will also be used. Car is a couple of weeks off hitting the road so I will be able to report then.

6boost now angles the gate hole on manifolds with the direction of flow as standard and plus a slightly bigger pipe and I think that sorts all the issues that we used to come across :)

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
