Well Ill try the ghetto boost mod to ensure the wastegate isnt creeping open (drill out the holes slightly).

3000rpm is pretty damn good to have full boost!!!

It looks like Im getting about 9psi by 3800rpm in 2nd.

Running a bit rich and probably not optimum ignition timing so maybe I could get thatdown to 3500rpm..

no, you don't drill out the holes.

I got a cutting torch and spot heated a bit of the actuator and bent it one way about 45 degrees, then spot heated another bit along the rod and bent it back the other way..... then bent another bit back..... Kinda like the ASCII 'art' below....

PS. Ignore the . look only at the lines... :O

you can drill NEW holes in the end of the rod that attaches to the flapper. I actually tried that......

But boost was, hmmmm, how to I put it....... VIOLENT! :O

Boost was miles to quick to come on and the EBC couldn't regulate it.

so I changed back to a more moderate ghetto mod :(

IMO i would go and get yourself a decent EBC,for piece of mind,

Bass full boost at 3k is bloody good.I have poncams and still full boost isnt untill 3800rpm.

Mine is a Precision BB highflow,shafts and wheels not balanced inhouse like GCGs but the cartridge(wheels and shaft) are sourced from Garrett already balanced.That is the only difference that i can see.

Cranked boost up to about 13 or 14psi. Can get that boost by about 3800rpm in 3rd. 2nd is about 4100rpm.

Not reving it past about 5000rpm but boy does it feel like a shove back in your seat as it comes onto the higher boost.

Cant imagine what 18psi +tune will be like. Currently running very rich.

You do have to get into the accelerator a bit more though with this turbo to make things happen

Forget about the lag - It's not really an issue - I think Im running about 13-14psi. I can't believe the hit it gets

Be careful if there is any wetness on the road. These cars are monsters. 3rd gear.. 3000rpm boost building. about 3800rpm steps sideways as it hits builds to 14psi!!

Not going to push it anymore till injectors then tune. Seriously though anymore than 240rwkw for the road is just plain silly :P !! Whatever its making now running as rich as buggery is plenty

Well I guess the 170rwkw it was making before at 10psi on stock turbo was plenty also hahaha

Increase grip. :P:D

I also have a vg30 turbo with r33 hi-flow front..Dont know much about it but it made 235rwkw at 10-12psi.

Ive recently converted the car to manual and taking it back to get retuned..

This turbo comes on really aggresive i love the feel and shove it gets, cant campare it to the stock turbo. Midrange couldnt really be tuned as Im only using a safc.

theres some old threads about this combination of turbos if yous arn't aware, that person had great results also.

Cheers

Hi Sloutch,

Here is the link I was refering to, good read.

I was extremely interested in the thread as I have an unknown turbo on my car and its seems to be a similar one in the above thread.

Cheers

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
