It's time to buy the wastegate for the GT35R, the motor's a RB30DET using a power fc and boost controller.

The GT35R has a 0.82 exh, it's rated at 700 hp.

I'm using a high mount SS exh manifold suited for an external wastegate.

WIll the 38mm gate be ok or should I be using a 45mm one? :boinkcar:

Need to know a few more things before I can work out the wastegate size;

Is the engine capable of handling 700 bhp?

What boost level are you intending to run?

Will the engine handle that level of boost?

Engine hasn't been built yet but will be built to handle over 600hp.

Boost level would be no more than 25 psi, that's if it needs to go that high to achieve the power.

The engine is being built to withstand the psi and hp.

The bottom end will have forgies and after market rods, oringed block etc...

Hi Alf, sounds good, I will assume the turbo can be fully utilised;

700bhp / 11 X 19 / 25 = 48 mm

Hope that helps :P

Yes that helps alot Sydneykid, and thanks alot for your help.

The people who I have asked about this have suggested a turbosmart 45mm wastegate. So i guess there recommendations are very close to yours.

My exhaust manifold has 38mm piping for the wastegate, will this need to be replaced with 45/48mm piping?

Does anyone make a 48mm wastegate?

Thanks again. :wavey:

Tial make 46 mm and 50 mm, HKS have 3 types of 50mm, Greddy have 2 types of 47 mm, Garrett have 46 mm and a few more that I can't remember.;)

Yes turbosmart's new pro-gate wastegates are now 48mm they use to be 45mm.

has anyone actually measured the valve area?

I think they are still 45mm, not 48. Going by what i saw.

But then, it might have been the old gate, in the new box :confused:

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
