I am currently running a 48mm progate and since fitting the 6870 it will not hold boost at the track.

It held it on the dyno with slight creep after 6000rpm but at the track I'm hitting boost cut in first no matter how low I set the eboost.

Has anyone done the straight swap for a 50mm? Will it hold it ya reckon?

Or will I have to get a 60mm and do a cut and shut job on the exhaust manifold?

Want it to hold 30psi for 700hp (on dyno we had it set at 28 and it crept late then ignition break down at 7200)but as stated at the track I had it set 20 points lower on the eboost and it still hit 32psi as soon as it could in first gear.

60ft in 1.34. Was like a boost line was off.

Try a much stronger spring first - as near as possible to target boost is better. Set your boost cut a bit higher. Does it overboost in the other gears (apart from 1st)? If you can borrow a 50mm W/G that would be worth a try but if you have to buy one I would go straight to 60mm.

If a boost line was off it may have hit over 60psi, mine did.

Not sure about the gate you have, but Turbosmart had to re-design their spring caps to hold that boost. They made a much taller cap with springs 3 times as long, so the stiffer springs wouldn't limit the travel of the gate.

If you hit the soft limit at the track, that would cause overboosting no matter what the controller was set to.

Interesting Scotty that sounds promising for the 50.

Jet I would just get the 60 but it's a manifold off job, which I will do if I have to but I'm sure ive read plenty of people having success with the 50 so just chasing feedback. So easy to just bolt the 50 on and go racing. 60 is a major for me at the moment.

Thanks for the feedback.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
