External Wastegate Opening at higher boost than spring rated

Do the bottom port test again off car to confirm it definitely passes to the top port, therefore being faulty. If it's got a split diaphragm it'll be obvious when disassembled with a tear in it - It's about the only thing that really fails on them.

👍

Just be careful when you pull the gate apart - remember big spring in there that can send the cover into your face if it flies apart without keeping it compressed on disassembly.

Think I might have found the issue20220216_173132.jpg

Good work, you owe me a carton 😄

That gate diaphragm is exactly the one I linked you to from RHDjapan, so around $150.

Also just curious on how I would fit it on as the one on my wastegate is round but the online one is squared off, do I just run a knife around the outside of the wastegate after clamping it shut? Thanks again

Nah the rhd one is round - have a good look at all the pictures again - it is curved and just a bit wrinkled up. It'll take shape when installing.

On another tack...10psi sounds a bit low.  You would need to test, but a 14psi would probably suit that turbo and setup a bit better.

Hey mate, so your saying it would be worth my while to have a 14pound spring in there instead of the 7pound one? I'm also going to be tuning the car soon after the diaphragm arrives and I'll probably be pushing close of not a little more than 20psi. I'm also probably just going to have the ECU control the boost so I'll just delete the Blitz one

The general rule is that you do not want to use a spring that is less than half the boost you want to bleed up to, and more spring is generally better than less. So for 20+ psi, you definitely want to be in the 14 psi spring range, rather than 10, and you definitely don't want to be using a 7.

Alright mad, too easy, I'll definitely be sourcing out at least a 14 psi spring setup. Thanks mate

As your HKS standard gate has no spring preload adjustment on it, I'd say you want the purple spring as it should be about 1.1 bar fitted being that's minimum on the adjustable version  Available springs from RHDjapan attached, although HKS themselves say only the yellow and purple springs are available now and that the original standard gate spring selection is discontinued.

Alright, I'm gonna order the purple one tomorrow, I'll see if they can add it to my pending order for the diaphragm as it's apparently going to be sent out on the 21st.

Anyone know how long I'm looking at it taking to reach Sydney NSW? I paid for the DHL shipping and wasn't really sure what it meant by 1-5 days as I'm sure it will take much longer than that to arrive and 5 days will be the 21st when I think they are saying it will be sent out. Thanks guys, don't really understand their shipping system

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
