9174 alloy supercore finally arrived today. I'm surprised how light it is. The housing I was looking at adapting won't fit so I'm looking for a t4 1.05 TS housing if anyone has one for sale.

Anybody have any feedback on the alloy core vs iron core?

Re: that twin gate setup

Not worried about melting the lid/diaphragm of the gate that is almost in direct contact with the dump pipe, on the track?
I got lots of 'worried looks' about where my gate sat and it was nowhere even close to the dump as that one is?

There is actually an air gap between the 2 of them, the image is a little deceiving... Everything will be heat coated so i guess its a matter of try and see how it goes!

The back gate is sitting just under the old ABS unit area that is being removed this week, its pretty tight one all the pipes start going together!

Putting it into my 34 with a 7670 and only the one gate it was pretty tight and lines and heat shielding went bonkers to hopefully not melt it all. I recall thinking "I'm glad I don't have a 2nd gate here" I actually thought for my application I should have gone IWG and would recommend IWG to anyone else due to it..

Then again, twin gate seems to be working OK for all the GTR guys, and in your application you don't need pesky things like AC or other daily concerns taking up space. If your wastegate lasts then I can be happy mine will too. Wrap all the things! :1310_thumbsup_tone1:

Well ill make sure we keep an eye on it and ill provide feedback! In that side of the engine bay there is now nothing but what you see in that pic above... Everything has either been relocated or deleted coz race car :)

The bonnet pulls a lot of heat from the engine bay on track too... It'll be a lot less in the way of heat issues now than it was with the old turbo setup!

pft, that's nothing compared to what the 6boob twin gate manifolds put them :P

Anyway, due to a series of events car is now at different workshop, with the turbosmart WG with a 7psi spring and no boost controller, so creeping to 9psi, made 370hp at rears. Apparently on the ramp up on the dyno at least, it already has a couple of psi by 2000rpm. Tuner seemed pretty surprised with it in general.

Downside.... lot of valve train noise. Valve clearences are all over the shop (12thou-22thou IIRC). Brand new head... very dissapointed. So waiting on that, and my next 2 weeks away at work, to actually get the car back.

How many cases of failing wastegates have you heard of due to the placement of the twin wastegates on 6 boost manifolds?

we have the 1.05 a/r TS housings in stock.  also 1.45 in stock if you have a built motor.

the alloy core requires mandatory watercooling AND mandatory 360-degree clamp plate kit.  Without the upgraded clamp plates, the alloy core will get damaged at the turbine housing connection.  we have these in stock if you need them, it appears very few of the other distributors are aware of those

When we began experimenting with twinscroll setups (2002-2003) cramming dual wastegates in places where there was only room for one gate was typical for early test units.  this did work for a brief amount of time (enough to get test data).  However the diaphragm location at or near the turbine housing/downpipe will result in diaphragm failure before too long.  even if you have a water circuit and high end fluorocarbon diaphragm

no idea, but i wasn't saying if it would or wouldn't be a problem..just that its next to the merge.

are you able to send me a price on 1.05 housing and clamps to suit alloy core thanks

What are you guys using for a readout of the speed sensor?

I saw your car down at the tuners when I picked up my mates 33 today! Looks awesome man, keen to see what it does on a proper tune :D

You had a good run with your HTA turbo, what made you decide to go for a BW over say the next HTA up like a 3582 ?

It actually wasnt the turbo that i wanted to upgrade, it was everything supporting it such as manifold, gate and dump... So i figured if i was going to that expense i might as well look at alternatives. I spoke to a lot of people and this "EFR" topic came up a fair bit... So i looked into it and it seemed to fit the bill... Ill find out mid next week if i made the right choice :ninja:

Turbo, manifold and gates had final fitment today. Dump pipe has been test fit and we are already to complete the assembly tomorrow. 

Once we fab the rear section of the exhaust and the intake pipe etc we will be ready to fire it up. Should be running tomorrow arvo and on the dyno soon after.

We took the time to delete the ABS and re-route some wiring and coolant lines etc away from the heat, doing as much as we can to get some reliability.

Here is the ceramic coating on the gates -

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
