I am having the same problem with boost spike. 18psi or 14psi actuators both shot up to 20-23psi everytime. Boost source from a weld on nipple after the turbo elbow. Intake leak tested OK. Tried just about everything. I am running a HG ATR43G3 internal gate. my concern was also around the wastegate hole/flapper. But since you're still having the same issue after porting etc, im lost.

I am having the same problem with boost spike. 18psi or 14psi actuators both shot up to 20-23psi everytime. Boost source from a weld on nipple after the turbo elbow. Intake leak tested OK.

The .82 type A/B turbine housings don't usually creep boost, How ever there has been a person reporting this issue, luckily he was local. What I've found is there is one stud hole that sits behind the wastegate flapper, the thickness of the material there is 10mm for oem stud, while 25mm bolt was used instead, So the extra length of the bolt pressed against the gate making it unable to move. That bolt is the one on top right corner if you are looking at it from behind.

our 14psi actuators holds 15psi on a free flow setup, and 17.5 with extended wastegate lever. The high pressure actuator holds 18psi and 21psi with extended lever. Most of our brand new turbochargers has extended levers, are fitted with a 14psi actuator.

With your 3076, I did not looking into your dump pipe, this is certainly a split dump pipe, as your turbine housing already had the wastegate divider built in, making it sealed in a chamber. While most internal gate would open to 45 degrees, the gate acts as a lid, trapping hot air inside the chamber causing boost creep. That also explains why a big 38mm internal gate would still boost spike on your setup.

Solution would be getting a bell mouth dump made, or mill out the wastegate divider on the turbine housing.

i'm sure the flapper was swinging out as far as it could, but i'll double check that, thanks. i've still got that 7psi actuator you gave me, i will see how it goes with that on aswell.

hey all, just an update.

I ended up getting a bell mouth 3 1/2" DP, figured i would try that before porting the gate.

It didnt completely solve the problem, but it did help.

It now only creeps 1.5 PSI, which is alot better.

Made 276 with max boost at 17 PSI :)

I also have this issue. I have an I/w .82 gt3076r. It always creeps to 21 + psi. I have the gcg split dump fitted. I believe this is the cause of the problem because although the waste gate appears to open enough because of the angle it partially blocks the wastegate pipe. I'm going to remove it and get another pipe made or this one modified. Ill let you know how I go.

Theres No need for external gate, I'm just waiting for my new 3.5 inch bell mount dump to be made just seeing if others have had success, stao and Abe from havoc made a easy 330/340rwkw with internal wastegate currently mines at 324rwkw so I'll see how this dump goes once its made

True true fair enough then. I was thinking of future if and when you chase even more power (damn hp itch) externally gating will give you that opportunity now and I the future.

Here's a wee list of mind mate sorry bit log copied it from other post.

Thought I'd have a look and add my info car is currently on the build again bigger turbo and intercooler

But here is some figures when finally complete and

On Dyno will post sheets of new power.

Currently 427kw revs taken to 8800.

Are u trying to avoid the boost creep or are u chasing the 6kw?

GT3076R (52T), 0.82 A/R IW Garret rear, GCG split dump, 274rwkw (PULP) @19psi on Garret 1 BAR actuator

Full boost @3000rpm... No boost creep at all!

IMO the GCG split dump is a thing of beauty and works perfectly :thumbsup:

Yeh right, 19psi by 3k on a GT3076 with 0.82? Must be a 3L right? Most guys only hope to get that sort of response with a 0.63 rear, and no split dump is going to make that much difference.

EDIT:

I have a 3L, 9:1 Static CR, GT3076R with 0.82 rear and I make 14-15 PSI (1 Bar) by just under 3000 in 3rd/4th on PULP (BP 98).

19 PSI is in at about 3300RPM odd.

I guess its achievable but 19 psi in before or at 3000RPM. I wouldnt mind seeing a dyno plot to back it.

This is ofcourse unless its a stroker 3.2 or 3.4 lol

Edited by R32Abuser

I have not seen the results of a 52 trim GT3037/GT3076R on an RB30 so I'm not sure if or by how much the slightly smaller trim compressor affects spool/boost threshold . Me thinks a higher CR like 9.5+ would pull up a bit more low end torque pre boost and make it a little more linear with the boot in .

    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
    • To drain the Intake Heat Exchanger, there is a crappy drain plug in front of the driver's side front tyre: You should use the largest headed phillips screwdriver you had, and in my case I needed vice grips on the hose above as the plug was tight (tighter than it needed to be, since it has an o-ring seal).  After you have a tray down and open the drain, open the intake heat exchanger reservoir cap (drivers side one) and you should get a couple of litres of coolant To get to the radiator, you need to remove the plastic engine undertray. It is held on with a series of 10mm headed bolts and some clips. For the radiator, there is another type of crappy drain (kind of like a plastic banjo bolt) and you should attach a length of hose to direct the stream of coolant per this pic (otherwise the coolant hits the rad support and goes everywhere). The drain is on the rear of the radiator on the driver's side and a bit hard to find. Put a big tray or bucket down (5l won't be enough) and slowly unscrew the fitting by hand. You only want to remove it far enough for coolant to flow, it you unscrew it right out the whole fitting and direction pipe will come off and you will get a coolant bath (yum!). Undo the radiator reservoir cap and it should empty about 8l
    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You also need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator so you will need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. 2 other tools that really help dealing with coolant lines and spring clamps are Bent Needle Nose pliers Hose pliers Between them they will reduce the frustration (and injury) potential by about 1000% Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
