Hey,
Without hijacking your thread lol,
what do you guys think of wastegate coming off the exhaust housing?
After getting my new kit (as pics attached) i have had a few comments both for and against.

Things to consider
dedicated track car, stock RB20DET motor, arp head studs, E85, 1000cc injectors, Nistune, 460 Walbro fuel pump direct wired. 
Turbo is a Pulsar G30-770, (AKA Pulsar GTX3071) .83 A/R, vband entry and exit with T51 mod
Turbosmart 45mm wastegate 14psi spring installed and includes additional assortment of spring pressures
Custom RB20/25 Tubular manifold with v-band collector ‘Prioritised” wastegate flow to avoid boost creep
Each internal join match ported for best flow (even the join you cannot see once manifold is built) “Steam pipe” coated in Ceratec hi-temp paint Conical expander coming out of EWG to 50mm. 50mm screamer pipe, 3” stainless “starter dump”. Turbo v-band welded to the tubing, 90deg elbow installed, flex bellow included

No objections, better boost control than say your typical 6Tits manifold with the gate outlet perpendicular to the collector followed by another 90 degree bend.

The welds look great too!

Thanks for the heads-up, very much appreciated! Tickets are for sale now.

Was quite worried about missing the boat for a moment there. Palms sweaty, arms spaghetti and all that. Got one though. Looking forward to it!

The haul, just replacement clips and shit, ABS relay, gearbox dust shield, AC condenser drain, window guide, etc.

This R33 problem is worse than a cocaine addiction.

Did you actually get a fast Amayama order ?

Fast enough, I once ordered something from Perth and it literally took 6 weeks to get to my door.

I'm still waiting for that cam trigger from NZ for the white 32. How long did it take to get yours ?

At the time, I recall it coming the same week I ordered it!

But this was also when NZ Wiring was starting off, so not too sure.

So guessing no bmw purchase then.........

Loving that you are committed to getting this car back to better factory. Its all these little bits that make a street car nice.

Oh trust me, if someone came to me and said I'll straight swap you my F80 LCI Comp I would do it... beg for forgiveness later.

Mrs Dose Pipe said you're not allowed to sell the R33 because you're an idiot and will end up with another.

trust the wife as mine was right about the sil80.
Once you guys get a bigger place I am sure the you will get to scratch that bmw itch.

    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.
    • post up screen shots of your injector tables
    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
