Hey guys, I posted this on nissansil but i seem to find a lot more people using sau, a lot more mature readers to.

Basically went to get my s15 tuned today, sr20 standard bottom end all the fruit, high mount steam pipe manifold td06sl2 20g 10cm (kando in t2 platform) tial 38mm mvs gate.

Issue is, using a .6 bar spring, as it ramps it's ramping to about 1bar of boost then as it increases from 4grand to red line it boosts to around 18 psi.

My theories are - wastegate size could be to small but from everything i have read, there is no issues using a 38mm wastegate to control 18psi on a turbo of that size (very similar to a 3071r if your not familiar with mitsi ranges)

- wastegate is fingered or fake - did pull it apart, diaphram looks legit and paid quality money for it.

- position of wastegate on manifold isn't getting a decent amount of flow to the actual wastegate

- scrap car and buy an r35 gtr

sorry for the novel, help me sau!

here's a pic of the manifold i got made for an idea of what the gate position is like - doesn't look to bad to me

It should work, ish

Gate pipe positioning is not great, what is the transition like inside the manifold.

Imagaine how hard it is for poor old cylinders 1 and 4 trying to muscle through cylinders 2 and 3 to get out the screamer.

Can you just run 18 PSI? Or run the engine with no gate. I have seen 10 psi doing this on crappy manifolds.

As i'm running an auto I sometimes hit the limiter, so my tuner gave me a soft limit between 7 -7.5k. Every time I hit it my turbo overboosts to over 30psi.

Ethanol is your answer.

First, as other have said primary pipe 90deg to the gas flow is not ideal

Secondly, looks like the primary pipe for the gate is smaller than the v-band and then the screamer pipe is smaller than the v-band?

So while you have a 38mm gate, you are putting a restriction before and after the gate.

I would start by getting a bigger primary pipe and screamer pipe to actually the same size (or slightly larger) than the v-band

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
