Gtx3076 gen2 boost creep


Recommended Posts

You are missing a grub screw. The gate has 2x sets of boost reference ports which are located on the top and bottom of the diaphragm.

You only need to use 1x of each from the top and bottom (as you have) and block the other ones not used as these are used to hook up in parallel additional gates.

There is nothing wrong with how the gate is mounted and the size of it.

1.4 is my target on 97 Ron fuel but if it seems reliable I’ll possibly try 1.5, i don’t want to forge the engine however so baby steps I guess. What’s the opinion ? On a safe level for a unopened neo

If you're achieving 465rwhp the in-cylinder pressures are getting up there.

With good tuning the pistons/rods ought to survive. But the OEM head gasket with a bit of age might not be that long lived if the car sees a lot of heavy duty use.  MLS type + head stud kit would be worth looking at IMO.

Tune will dictate what's "safe".

Hi dale cheers for reply

Ye, I have now replaced that grub screw, at the tuning shop we didn’t have any handy so took me a day or 2 to find a 1/16thNPT grub screw, but it’s sorted now

so just waiting to get a bit of free time possibly Friday to reset the controller and go through the steps

to add however that 465 is at crank, I’m in the UK and most tune companies measure at crank so it’s not rwhp man, sorry for confusion

Typical pommies lol

I work with a bunch of them 

I am surprised your tuner continued to tune the car as is without the top section of the gate properly plumbed up. I would have only ran a boost reference to the lower port and inverted the EBC operation instead of pushing through with the way it was (which could have ended badly with poor boost control).

With the gate properly plumbed is that likely to combat my creep too ? It would be nice to hold a fairly steady 1 bar as per spring

 

ill try get a few hours spare to set the controller up over the next few days

SO to bring this back up

the car was re-tuned by a second tuner, who has left my evc turned off, as again the setup was creeping. I did have the boost controller working but he seen no point leaving the evc on as the turbo was creeping on its own to the area of boost intended to run. I maxed out my fuelling so the 570 injectors will be coming out, to allow beyond 1.3/1.4 bar of tune. He also thinks a precision wastegate will solve the creep, 

The creep is giving a very linear delivery rather than coming on boost harder.

I had similar issues on 6 boost single pulse T3 manifold same style as yours. Running a smaller turbocharger with a 45mm turbosmart external gate. It kept on creeping as engine revved out with a 14psi spring, no boost controller. In saying that I have seen the same turbo working with a 45mm gate with a different manifold. I think its more less the way of where and the angle of the gate is mounted on the 6 boost causing this problem. I guess easiest solution would be moving on to bigger gates.

    • I'm trying to maintain stock appearance . Hicas is still installed (although has lockout kit) did you retain factory fuel pump hat? If so I assume you used a bulkhead fitting or similar ?  I was also trying to avoid a full re design as it was previously dynoed at 426kw atw with same setup but different pump. Changing return line would also mean having to change ethanol sensor and fpr and possibly fuel rail. Not chasing more power in any way just reliability of the setup 
    • I do think it's weird I had it for 2 weeks then the issue came up out of nowhere and progressively got worse. I would've imagined changing everything in the ignition system would've resolved any ignition related misfires but still has the high rpm and idle misfires that seem unchanged. I would've thought if it was fuel related it would happen all the time unless it's the pump losing pressure when it gets hot. If it was the ecu I would think it would do it all of the time.  Something I noticed when I had it all apart was a pretty decent coating of oil in the J pipe coming from the throttle body. The weird thing about that is the pcv that goes to the intake is blocked off. So that has me wondering if the oil is coming from the turbo because that's the only thing that could get oil in there. This thing does sound like it spools like a mofo like I'm a former dsm guy and the only stock turbo I've ever heard spool this loud (to only go up to about 5psi) is on a diesel truck. And the recirculated bov is really loud too I had a TurboXS RFL and this thing is just as loud and being so low on psi seems a little weird. I don't know if any of this is or isn't related but just trying to make sure I'm not leaving any potentially helpful information out. 
    • So latest update. I replaced the ignitor with a jspec unit from enjuku. It felt a lot better at first although it is a little bit cooler of a day than it has been. Warming up didn't have as much misfire sputtering as before. Went on a 10m test drive. Felt good, a lot stronger though I was taking it easy on the boost. On the return trip started getting the cutting out at higher rpm again and was getting worse the longer I was driving. Took it easy the rest of the way home. Before turning the car off was getting the normal idle sputtering I was getting before.  So where I'm at now, entire ignition system has been replaced with upgraded components. Plugs still gapped at .8mm. Removed the fuel cap in case it was building too much reverse pressure I'm the tank, didn't help at all. Now I'm still on the same tank of gas the fuel treatment was in, I'm thinking if I can run that out and then refill with fresh 93 maybe  the treatment is too concentrated in some areas but doesn't explain that it only does it once the car is warm. I'm leaning towards fuel pump or injectors but if the injector was clogging I don't think it would make it shut off like it has but then fire right back up like nothing happened. So my current guess would be the pump. Without a fuel pressure guage no way to test or check it while it's running.  So that's kind of where I'm at. Need to start testing fuel components and ecu/wiring but I'm at a loss of what's the next logical step and procedure for testing it. 
    • @niZmO_Man thanks for that info, lucky I bought the gktech ones 🤙.
    • Never cheap out on brakes, tyres, suspension. I learnt the hard way at Oran Park lol
