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

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
