I'll have a stab at this, its because the engine is outflowing the turbine and plus when there's no mufflers,cats etc the exhaust is sucking the flap open , like a venturi effect once things get hecktic in the mid to top end.  Bit with a boost controller and loading up the gate it helps close it for longer..

During this this two years I've had two of those 2835 Pro-S in for repair, and they all appears to have an boost tapering problem.  One particular customer did manage to get it hold 20psi without boost tapper, and that is by overloading the actuator given 3mms of waste gating.  We did larger trimmed compressor wheel, as well as doing billet 76mm Garrett GTX comp wheel, it did not change that behaviour.

I found the boost tapper behaviour is common with internally gated Garrett GT30 turbines. I suspect it is due to the crop in the rear exducer blades. After replacing the exhaust wheel with one of our SAT models, the boost pressure held dead flat at 20psi with minimum actuator preload.

This is a pretty good example in earlier SAT developments. Replacing an GT30 turbine wheel with a older G3SAT turbine wheel nothing else's changed.:

Is it possible the blow off valve in that position could cause the issue? 



I've also wondered about that a fair bit but when I do my regular boost leak tests, I put 10-20psi more than my max boost through the system and nothing leaks...

BUT!!!
the problem now is not the boost drop, it's OVERBOOST Hahahahah seeing 30+psi in 2nd and 3rd gear midway through the rev range is just not making any sense and if I don't lift off throttle it would keep going .... Wtf my dudes

Basics tell us- If a turbo car is going to over boost, it will do it in higher gears as there's more load on the engine thus more concentrated/energetic exhaust charge to push the turbine....
Stumped as to why my car only make target boost in 4th but free boosts in 1st, 2nd & 3rd now

Would it be worth taking off the actuator and seeing if you can open/close the wastegate freely?

It could be possible that since the initial problem the dump pipe may have moved and is stopping the wastegate from opening. For all you know it's possible it made no boost because it was stuck open.

Split dump pipes have the tendency to do this, I also had boost control issues with my split dump pipe. There are also many stories of the wastegate not fully opening causing overboosting.

We did in fact test the opening/closing of the flapper multiple times in the first weeks when it wasn't making boost and it was a-ok. There's no physical way the dump can move and the special 2835proS split dumps are a work of art with the way they are welded all the way to the flange etc.

While I was on the highway of said night that i noticed the "free boosting", I heard a "rattle & ting" type noise come from the engine bay around the turbo/dump area and from what I could hear over the loud highway driving noise it went nearly all the way to the back of the car...it sounded like a 10mm nut or something falling from the bay and flicking up under the car BUT I'm beginning to wonder if there was a restriction of some sort inside the exhaust and it's somehow cleared itself and flew out the back whilst cruising the m1 that night hahha

 

Have you ever run without the boost controller connected? (just straight hose from cooler pipe to wastegate)

Reckon the boost controller could be playing up?

 

Surely nothing mechanical would make the boost go from tapering off at high rpm to overboosting, without noticing something major with the way it runs.

Hey man yeah we did right at the beginning but I have not tried it now that its over boosting ... Will give it a whirl this weekend [emoji1362]

The rattle and ting could be your engine pinging due to overboost, but not related to the reason why it overboosted

Haha nah dude.... Like I said, I was cruising when I heard the noise and it sounded like a small rock or 10mm socket tinging up under the car....

One thing I don't think I've mentioned is that I had to rotate the housings and customise the actuator bracket before fitting the turbo...
Maybe one the housings isn't seating exactly perfectly...??
Or maybe the actuator isn't happy with its position in relation to the gate flapper..?

I'm not sure what else there is to say dude...
The turbo was a new HKS 2835 Pro S internally gated with an .87 a/r rear.
It's not a model specific kit for an rb or Jz or anything... Just a "universal" or "off he shelf" HKS turbo.
So I had to rotate the housings before fitting it. After rotating the housings the actuator didn't line up with the bracket so I re-drilled the holes and re mounted it where it needed to be to line up twitch the flapper linkage.
These are the only pics I can find of the turbo off the car. The first two (black background) are before any modification or rotating. The. There's a pic of the actuator after I re drilled it and then last two of ofer it was re mounted and housing rotated.

    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
