If you want ponnies. Its type b or nothing...type a would be a waste of money

not big enough over standard. Dont expect a huge power gain.

Lucky to do 10rwkw more up top.

Id put headstuds on the list before all that anyway. Otherwise your on

Borrowed time

260 ponnies lump nice if you want them tuned that way..can get a nice

rump/rump/rump outta them..if thats what you want..

cheers

Planning on going type b anyway :)

Haven't heard/researched anything about needing to upgrade the headstuds though (not saying it wouldn't be important to)

Hopefully e85, atr45 roller bearing, type b Tomei poncams (might do rocker gaskets and timing belt while everythings off) and a solid tune gets me close to 400rwkw haha

Trying to decide on a wastegate as I know close to nothing about them..

Hi bro, by the sounds of it im on same track as you. Ive got a massive amount of parts to put on over next few weeks then off to get a tune and will see from there anyway the parts i have to put on so far are: type b poncams, lowmount external gate manifold, atr45sat turbo with vband rear housing, turbosmart 38mm gate, turbosmart 1200fpr, 1000cc xspurt injectors, plasmaman plenum, t/b & bov, zeitronix e85 flex set up, haltech platinum pro pnp ecu, apexi avcr boost controller, apexi rsm, oil cooler and filter relocation, walbro intank big e85 pump, surge tank with big pro flow e85 pump, arp head studs, performance springs & titanium retainers, 1.3mm cometic head gasket and other cometic gaskets. And ive already got stuff like r34 gtr brembo brakes all round, big koyorad alloy radiator, extreme heavy sports clutch and lots of other gtr stuff. Will keep you informed how all turns out.. Cheers

50mm, the 38m too small.. your exhaust manifold pressure will be too high...

you'll need head studs if you want to get that turbo + motor to boogie

Interesting

That sounds awesome and very similar to my plans

Aiming for any specific figure?

Now I may also think about doing studs, springs, retainers and head gasket if I can save enough!

Yeah bro, if your taking the head off best off replacing head gasket with a cometic (steel) gasket. Better for boost. I was at around 290kw on 98 pump fuel beforehand. Im hoping for around 380-400 rwkw on e85. Also i just exchanged my wastegate from the 2 bolt 38mm ultragate to the 45mm vband hypergate for a better flow and a cleaner look. Will keep post informed and will put pics up to. Doing most work myself.

Yeh that's true

So far I've found the following, hoping these are the best prices:

Same power figures I'm aiming for

Least you're saving a bit on labour!

Thats about the same i got. Dont get the intake gasket kit as for an xtra $20 get both intake gaskets in cometic. I reakon if you rang golebys they would probably do you a good deal. I got my head gasket and head studs for 550 then with springs and stuff good chance they will help ya. I was gunna buy new buckets and shims but can't find at all...

Can't find the cometic one, may not even bother doing it if I don't have to?

Yeh I may speak to them as I'm also getting the Plazmaman injectors, rails and reg kit from them

I know barely anything about wastegates, but after searching for a 50mm one I noticed they come in 7psi and 14psi:

http://gcg.com.au/turbo-parts/external-wastegates/turbosmart-external-wastegates/turbosmart-pro-gate-50mm-7psi-14psi-detail

Which would best suit my application?

Also just came across this:

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/50mm-V-Band-Wastegate-Pro-Gate-ProGate-Blue-12-Month-Warranty/152098198351?_trksid=p2047675.c100009.m1982&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140117125611%26meid%3Dc481daac48094e95b3a6a29088c02b86%26pid%3D100009%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D10%26sd%3D152098204562

Now obviously I'm trying to save where ever possible, so is there much difference in buying a Turbosmart rep one over a gen one? (besides saving $400)

Thanks

14psi spring will be good if your planning to run around 20psi boost. Turbosmart are very good gates and it probably is something u want to be of good quality. I have heard the cheap ones can leak. If you want to save money don't bother with the cams and head gasket for now. Just do the studs. Johnny dosepipe made 376rwkw the other day on a non neo rb25 ,stock hg, stock cams, stock manifolds. Neo should be capable of the same if not more.

You want your wastegate spring as close as possible (or just under) your target boost so I imagine you will want more than 14 psi that is the one to go for.

From my experience, if you're running both ports on the EWG you're able to nearly get double the default wastegate pressure.. with older style (single port ones) you would try and load up the spring as close to your max. desired boost pressure to avoid boost bleeding off.

Cheers for the answers guys

Seems this is the best option for me:

If you want more than 14psi go for the 7psi 50mm, it comes with a 10psi spring in the box for 17psi

Might hold off on cams and put it into headstuds and gasket instead or save a lil more and go all out haha

ARP studs

Your favourite flavour of turbo

Genuine turbosmart gate

Plenty of power, safety and fun times guarenteed.

/thread

Heard if I change the headstuds then I gotta/may as well change the gasket too

Willing to chip out the few hundred for a cometic one for that added safety :)

Remember, 400's the goal now too! haha

taking off the head is more work, however if you're up for it then do it :)

However when you think of a budget build, then there's no "real" need.. just change 1x stud at a time and torque them about 20nm off their rated torque requirements, then go over them at the correct torque once all the studs have been replaced (from middle and work your way out).

/\ I wouldn't open it if it doesn't need it, I'd prefer a Cosworth, GReddy or Tomei gasket

I could save so much if I didn't open it but I think it's worth the safety haha

Haven't heard anything bad about the 1.3mm cometic HG so think I'll stick with that one

    • I came here to note that is a zener diode too base on the info there. Based on that, I'd also be suspicious that replacing it, and it's likely to do the same. A lot of use cases will see it used as either voltage protection, or to create a cheap but relatively stable fixed voltage supply. That would mean it has seen more voltage than it should, and has gone into voltage melt down. If there is something else in the circuit dumping out higher than it should voltages, that needs to be found too. It's quite likely they're trying to use the Zener to limit the voltage that is hitting through to the transistor beside it, so what ever goes to the zener is likely a signal, and they're using the transistor in that circuit to amplify it. Especially as it seems they've also got a capacitor across the zener. Looks like there is meant to be something "noisy" to that zener, and what ever it was, had a melt down. Looking at that picture, it also looks like there's some solder joints that really need redoing, and it might be worth having the whole board properly inspected.  Unfortunately, without being able to stick a multimeter on it, and start tracing it all out, I'm pretty much at a loss now to help. I don't even believe I have a climate control board from an R33 around here to pull apart and see if any of the circuit appears similar to give some ideas.
    • Nah - but you won't find anything on dismantling the seats in any such thing anyway.
    • Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.
    • Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
