So i got my car back together about two weeks ago, A r32 gtst rb20, got one these hybrid performance manifolds and a kinugawa td-06 20g 8cm with a genuine tial 38mm wastegate, had to weld up about 5 holes in the collector and get both flanges machined due to serious warpage which cost me around $150 trade pricing, heat wrapped it all and fitted up ok.. put a 1 bar spring in the gate and took it for a drive waste gate didnt open until 17psi and kept creeping up past 23psi before i backed off. pulled gate off and changed to 7psi spring took for a drive gate opened at 10psi then creeped slowly up to 15 then flew round to 23 at high revs, so then i thought my gate might be faulty. so i pulled another tial 38mm gate off my mates fj20 and fitted still the same trouble. I am running 6mm id reference line from inlet manifold, It would seem the manifold doesnt have the ability to control boost pressure,

Is any else running the same setup with good results? not sure what else to do

There's two ports in the inlet manifold on the cabin side of the throttle body, and the guage port is on the cabin side of the inlet manifold, I know it's not controlling bOost because the gate is on a screamer pipe Which Opens and then still gains up to 15 psi

38mm gate is pretty small, I would have thought a 45mm would have been a better size, especially if the wastegate feeds off the manifold at a weird angle. Have you got any pictures?

The waste gate piping is 38 mm, I was led to believe

The 38 mm gate was good if you wanted to run high boost levels, I want to run around 17-20 psi but want it to stay at that ha, would a 45mm gate be any good if it's 38mm piping? pics of the gate pipe out the manifold?

I contacted Tial about using either the 38 or 44 gate for my SR running 18-20psi on a tdo6sl2-20g T3 and they said the 38 was perfect but it needs priority on the manifold. I assume your rb20 would be nearly the same requirements.

Bang a pic up of the wastegate location on te manifold. I bet it also has a length of pipe moving the gate too far away from the manifold rather than keeping it short.

your the first to report control issues with those manifolds, a few ppl have them now. many of the big name manifolds have LONG gate tubes also, so i dont think thats the issue.

now you said you put the 38mm gate on your mates FJ20 and it still had the same problem, is that right? if thats the case have you tried putting your mates gate on your manifold?

i mean if u put the same gate on a mates car and it still had a problem dont you think something is up with the gate? seems logical.

I took another tial 38mm wastegate that works perfect on my mates fj20 on a home made manfold with a 4mm internal reference line from the inlet manifold after the trottle body and fitted to my car and I still had boost control issues thus ruling out a faulty/fake wastegate

ah ok.

try move your reference feed to just after the turbo or even the comp housing.

if that doesnt change anything then id start looking at the manifold.

Loads of people have problems with manifolds where they have to weld their own wastegate at the collector, even 6boost etc have the problem. The best bet is to shorten the length of pipe between the collector and the gate as much as possible.

If you weld it like below you should be well positioned to have good boost control

Nice clean setup there, good wastegate flow. Get some boost pressure on the top of that gate next Roy... What springs are you running?

Why is that? I dont run a boost controller so you only need to connect the boost pressure source to the bottom of the gate. Std prings whatever they are.... i just run a very crude bleed setup whilst I play with power and different turbos, fuels and tunes

And Tommyd32gtst, my thing is a pretty basic setup...have had the car for 13 years so had enough goes at getting it right and my god it is still way to rough for my liking in areas.

My gate is off a 6boost in similar position.... Isn't it smaller boost bigger gate? Bigger boost smaller gate? I may have it backwards but I chose a 44mm for 20psi.... Edumacate me ;)

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
