i noticed when i put my boost controller in and setup the gain it spooled faster than when i was just using the wastegate

i don't NEED to run a boost controller if i don't want to...if you say the hks actuators are second to none then they will hold whatever boost level they're meant to hold properly...

Gee...thanks for the technical lesson...i'm a certified mechanic and mechanical engineer and been involved with turbo cars for 4 years...as if i didn't know that a bigger turbo would cause more lag...when i said positive boost at 3500 (NOT 1000rpm) i meant that the boost gauge would read 0.0bar at 3500 or more...now that i know for a fact is abit late...i'm asking for opinions and suggestions here...i don't need to know that i need a boost controller and i need a dyno tune...so before you try to teach me how about you read your own crap first...i don't NEED to run a boost controller if i don't want to...if you say the hks actuators are second to none then they will hold whatever boost level they're meant to hold properly...

So sorry Mr education....

Best you don't assume nobody else here has mechanical experience. How well do you know me????

4 years is such a long time now isn't it?????

Tread carefully my friend...

Go ahead and improve on a HKS internal wastegate, I would love too see that.

Maybe the wastegate is not operating correctly but that is not a design fault..

Since when have i ever said i wanted to improve on the wastegate anyway...4 years also ain't that long...but its definitely enough time to know that a larger turbo will have more lag...and its definitely enough to know i need to get it tuned for it to run properly and safely...anyway...so if you do have more experience...give me a list of possible causes and i'll take them into account...instead of telling me redundant crap like how i MUST run a boost controller...

That was my first guess but after trying 2 RB20 and 1 RB25 actuator i thought otherwise. New hose with hose clamps were used so it did'nt leak.

Im going to open up the waste gate a bit more once i take the turbo out for the new motor. Theres more than enough meat in the housing to grind yet still keep the HKS popper flap and keep a seal. It cant do any worse can it.

Thats a good idea...i might have to do the same thing if i can't sort this problem out...can i ask what dump pipe are you using? is it a hks original or some other dump...cheers...

Come on now and get serious, I cannot believe some of the rubbish that is posted..

:)

Their all questions... everyone learns from somewhere

oh p.s. getting a turbo to spool under 1000rpm? please read hpi with bee r's s15 on the front cover :) (supercharged sr20det + tdo6) :sorcerer:

I started with a blended 3inch dump. I now have another dump converted to screamer with a 2inch screamer. Still the same.

If you guys are paranoid about the actuators... best way to checking if it opens correctly and what psi its set at by using an air compressor with a guage on it... that'll determine if its screwed or not...

2nd thing is porting the wastegate hole on the exh housing... better to get it done professionally just incase you go too much then your screwed.. only your dump pipe will cause this issue if the flapper dusn't open all the way cos its hitting it..

let us know how you go

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.

      Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By MBS206 · Posted

      The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
