any advice on external gate ? i'm trying to decide between the turbosmart 40mm comp gate and 45mm hypergate....

hypergears own 50mm one is good and cheaper than the others.

Cool! well i've ordered the turbo, Stao doesn't have any wastegates at the moment. So i was thinking what size would be best and it made me wonder how to size it properly.. i spoke to a mate of mine said the larger the turbine housing the smaller the gate required and the smaller the housing the larger the gate required. does this sound right.. sort of does to me. there's a $150 difference between a 40mm and 45mm turbosmart gate..

Big turbo big boost = small gate

Big turbo small boost = big gate

Small turbo big boost = small gate

Small turbo small boost = medium gate

That's how I have seen a few people here size gates. *waits for Scotty*

I run 45mm usually, you can't run too much gate imo, it only helps with top end power after all, but 40 will be fine.

I can get the Turbosmart 45mm cheaper than the 40 at the moment. PM me for price. ;)

That's an immaculate fit Johnny. Good to see more SS2 turbos feeding air to these motors! Did you get the hot side of your turbo modified to suit the external or did that come from Hypergear as an option? I'm thinking about running an external but I'd like to maintain the standard dump pattern.

Thanks man!

I actually got the rear housing sent to scotty_nm35 to modify. I opted for the v band rear because I absolutely hate the nissan 6 bolt flange, always snap bolts lol

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
