Hi Everyone,

I've decided that a GT3076r or ATR43SS2 will be what will make my setup complete....i'll be happy with anywhere between 250kw-300kw.

my question is this, i have no idea what would be the ideal sized external wastegate... i want to limit exhaust or manifold modififications so was looking for a 0.82 rear housing with the flange for the wastegate and utilizing a vband clamp of the rear.

any suggestions or advice on the size?

cheers

Gaz

Turbosmarts come with either 7 or 14psi springs standard, then you buy other springs to get your desired boost pressure.

Also it might sound simple but i have no idea how technically minded you are. Make sure you buy springs that equal slightly less than your desired pressure, as you cannot run less boost that the wastegate spring pressure.

yeah i did know this...i still like to be able to turn my boost down when i have to leave it anywhere.

I ran an internal gate on my gtx3076r holding 18 psi flat line but 22psi needed a external gate to control it. Now I have a tial 44mm of the housing

i'm running 18psi at the moment....i'm not sure i'd push more boost on my old block (300,000km)

I use a 45mm Turbosmart Hypergate off a Hypergear SS2, happily runs 0.5 bar all the way to 1.2 bar and holds to red line.

Will be dialling in 1.5 bar once I get my injectors sorted out, right now stock injectors are hitting 92%... great spray pattern haha

The Hypergear is an internal gate housing, probably best if you buy a suitable external gate housing and get Stao to machine that to suit his turbine wheel if you are heading down that path.

With the GT3076 you can buy Vband housings for them cheap off Kinugawa, ship it to me and I can weld the gate to it. (unless you can find a decent fabricator locally, but you will need to take the car there.)

The Turbosmart gates are great and will hold over 45psi these days since the HP caps were released, but i assume you are sticking to 98... I would be running e85 for engine protection if you are worried about longevity

    • Good tips, will get on those tomorrow. When doing the maintenance I did move a few of those connectors around, and things that are old tend to not like moving around. (Like me).
    • Don't try it. It will be shit. Better chance of damaging the engine than gaining any knowledge about the old one. Maybe, but unlikely, especially if the O2 sensor is working. You can use NissDataScan to look at the stock ECU.   Cleaning the AFM is seldom necessary and seldom helps. The R35 coil & loom conversion should eliminate dud coils or plugs. But as you still have misses - look to the plug where the coil loom connects to the engine loom, and the CAS plug. Need quality connections there. Also look to injector plugs. And the AFM plug while you're at it. Also look to whether your injectors are clean and flowing evenly. Get them out and onto a testbench.
    • Good to know, I feel like I am in for a rollercoaster ride that looks like a sine wave. 
    • You'll fit right in. Acceptance is the first step.
    • Hey folks. I've been lurking and browsing the forum for a while, since I got into my head that I wanted a skyline. Having purchased an overpriced completely stock GTT, (only "mods" it has is HKS pod filter and catback) now that it became legal in the US, it was all glorious and sututu noises here and there. But then I wanted to do things right and went to do basic maintenance. After all the fluids, filters done, I did the spark plugs, that's when the problems started.. First the car started spluttering at around 4.5k RPM. Which I gapped down the new plugs and that solved the sputter there, but the car now always misfires at idle with pops when lifting off and shifting 2nd to 3rd. Similar to the issues in this recent thread. I've been banging my head against the wall, reading the threads here and trying suggestions for a couple months now, so decided to start this one to explain exactly what I tried and what is going on. The symptoms of the issue: Idle and low revs misfiring intermittently. You can hear the exhaust tone change and the shakes on the shifter knob. It happens frequently, but doesn't seem to have a rhythm to it. Pops when backing off throttle. It pops and or burbles almost feels like it spits fire when it pops. (Happens mostly in 3rd gear at around 2k RPM). When under load and after 6k RPM, it also pops when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. There's a ticking noise at around 2k RPM in 2nd gear going downhill, seems unrelated though but I am out of educated and downright dumb guesses. Not noticeable lack of power when putting the car into load. The attempted diagnosis and solutions: Unplugging coils when the car is running This did nothing to change the idling and tone shift for every cylinder. Checking the exhaust headers with thermometer They all are within what I'd say it is margin of error of the laser thermometer New spark plugs Tossed two new sets, copper, iridium and using the old ones, still misfiring, even re gapped to 0.8mm, still same thing. MAF cleaned with the "specific" spray cleaner No changes in the issues what so ever. Brand new loom and r35 coil conversion (was going to add the r35 coils anyway) car runs arguably better, still misfires, but seems like does less frequently. Placebo? Code 21 now being thrown, thanks nissan gods. Removed the CAS to check the shaft for play or anything. CAS seems all fine, nothing that indicates any issue, visually speaking. Things to attempted next: Ordered a new MAF (chinesium from Amazon, to be able to return regardless of result). Fuel with proper gas, maybe it is this California water that they sell as gas that is to blame? Plugin the link ECU and check the info using the built in base map. Go back to BMW and eat my rob bearing breakfast without milky oil mixture.   Do any of you have experienced anything like this or have any suggestion?
