Hi, Just got my car back today from RacePace. Ben & myself are very pleased with it.

I had someone sell me the wrong Spring for my wastegate - wanted 14.5 or 15psi spring but got a 25 or more?

Anyway Ben had a 10psi spring and the car made 284.6RWKW @20psi. I will be putting another spring in & try for 300RWKW.

The car feels great & Ben was right - It does feel like a lot more than 285.

Cheers

Chris

What size turbine housing?

Very nice complete setup. :)

Hi Cubes, I think it is 0.62 for the housing. I will check tomorrow. Sorry I have to go out again!

Was yours the white the GTST? Was there at the same time as mine 'cept I was without mine for 10 weeks!

Nice result too BTW. :mellow:

Yep, Mine was the Polar White GTS-T with a couple of Scratches which are being fixed very soon.

you running a 3.5" dump also?

thats gonna make the difference that i didnt have :D

Also you got the slightly smaller one... hence the extra psi to get to 280

I'd take a staby-stab at it being a .82

If its a .63 then thats amazing results

Another quality job. Good to see that the stock cam'd RB25 heads pumping great power without the need to spend $$$ on em :D

Thanks Ash, I think you are right, more likely the .82. I must have been looking at the cover size. I'm not sure if it's a 3.5dump, can't remember. I will be talking to Ben tomorrow because he want's some feedback and I'm going to change the wastegate spring, maybe the whole waste gate.

What are your thoughts - Should I stick with a 50mm gate? or put a Original HKS 40mm one on?

Cheers,

Chris

Should be 0.82 turbine housing, not 0.62

if your current gate is giving no issues and its not creeping too much, stick with it.

The idea wuith the rates is to get as close as you can to ur target psi off the gate spring where u can... im sure you already know that :D

mine crept heaps (45mm t/smart progate) in 4th/5th under load @ higher speed when i was using 7psi spring/17psi (bleeder)

using a 14psi spring/17psi (via bleeder) it was excellent and stayed shut in 5th much longer

on 24psi with the juice it was just mental so i didnt have time to worry about it.

find out about the dump, be interesting :D

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
