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 :)

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.

      Looking for someone with a R34 front bar

      Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂

      Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
