So my experience tells me that the Turbosmart psi rating for springs goes out the window a little when running it on a 6boost manifold. So understand it has to do with the turbo and turbine housings you run etc etc but looking to get an idea of what springs people are running to get about 18psi out of them with no EBC.

I am running a 45mm Hyper-Gate

18psi is 18psi no matter what manifold you are using. Get as close as possible with the actuator. Positon of the wastegate makes a difference to boost creep (mine is off the turbo housing). What kind of ecu are you using? If you have a Link or Vipec or similar you can just get a Mac valve and use the ecu for boost control.

i think 6Boost have the boost creep issue to a degree? I dont know yet as mine is finally going to start this week..... I went for the 1 bar spring as i only intended on around 18psi BUT now they are looking to run 20psi i am not sure if the spring needs to change or if the boost controller does the work?

Roy, why no EBC?

  • 2 weeks later...

17psi = 22psi. but lowerd to 20 with a bit of timing taken out.

I had the same with a 44mm Tial and td06-20g.

I would run a 10psi spring Troy and go from there

Turbosmart gates have always been like that.

I remember my 45mm Progate from 6-7 years ago was sitting on 14psi with 18psi of spring (big/small) in it.

Just have to trial and error on most setups

Yeh, because this isnt helpful

Will just throw my SBC ID back on and do some secret squirrel cheap as mods to get the boost into it

From what I am reading re Vipec the closed loop boost control isnt great so, since I have E85 going ok on the Power FC I am less convinced I need to go to another ECU

Yeah it's only a "guideline" in all the things I've seen, it's usually close, but by no means 100% accurate.

Just did a squirrel mod to mine and took it from 17psi to 24psi no problems, held perfectly - long as you get it as close to target boost as possible to eliminate gate creep you'll be fine :)

Final boost levels depend on the pressure in the exhaust manifold and the size of the wastegate so every setup is different.

I have a fabrication job on at the moment, split pulse GT3076 on a 6boost running twin 40mm turbosmart gates. Not much room down there, I hope he has the right springs in them...

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
