Did you do NSW Dutton in that year a few years ago?

No, Just opens up at a set pressure eg 1.2 bar the valve opens so manifold pressure cant go any higher, no you dont have to have a wastegate but its a good idea to run them to stop the turbo over speeding.

The Production race cars like duncans run them as a requirement so they cant run more than the factory boost pressure.

Nizpro used to just run a pop-off valve setup and no wastegate back in the early VL turbo days, with success.

No because the full force of exhaust gas is running through the turbine, and with minimal restriction on the comp wheel, than the turbo will spin way harder than what it needs to for the required manifold pressure.

It may help minimize spool time if you had lazy internal gates, external gate will be no different untill the gate opens

Sorry that does not make sense to me, if there is less air there is less spark,less ex gases?

the point of it is to stop to much boost not to decrease power.

if your car runs on 8 apples. the turbo spools up to 8 apples then it finds that A) the waste gate wont let enough apples past or B ) you have restricted boost for a comp.

in point A the turbo keeps spooling to 10 apples and pop goes the engine or you add in a pop off valve and it lets 2 apples out keeping the manifold pressure at 8 apples. its not designed to let 10 apples out of the system only a few so it just regulates the boost.

with only 8 apples in the system the turbo still trys to produce more but it can because they are being let out.

hope that helps but its realy a question for the forced induction party not the show us your racing machines people.

My r34 at yesterday's track day.

Had my ass handed to me by a pack of evo's. 6th in class D, out of 8 cars. If only having the prettiest car took seconds off your lap time....

Wow, what refreshing honesty! Nice post mate :)

Very very nice looking car too!

'course it's nice! it's my old car. ;) ;)

man you are looking after her mate. it looks stunning. :) and yes way better looking than any poxy lancer.

Those crappy Falken Azeni's you are running aren't helping your cause. If funds allow, try to get some newA050's or even RE55's under that R34 and look out EVO's!!

    • No-one in Aus/NZ would pay that much, because they remember when a turbo Skyline/Silvia was a cheap but awesome alternative to the mediocre shit sold here locally at the time. I'm sure over in USA there are enough trust fund kids who will have their R34 GTR, whatever the cost
    • I am stuck with enthusiast and very unhappy, even though Lumley, Shannons and Famous are all options, they all require a lock up garage, and my situation (basically a walled off compound from the street) is insufficient because the car is under a carport. I'm confident to resolve the situation I need to build a roller door with fascia in-front of my roller gate which is a solid opaque metal rolling gate. In any other universe moving the roller door 2 meters in-front of the garage door would still constitute the same amount of security but oh no. My insurance rates suck to the point of when I joined a market research for Enthusiast they were all surprised that I paid about 2-3x what other people were paying with Enthusiast when I asked them why their rates were so high. If I lie about having a garage, I save like $10 a month with enthusiast. (It's about $2600 p.a for 5000km of driving for a very unsustainable agreed value). Lumley has terrible reviews but @Duncan made me consider calling them when renew time came up - but their horrible reviews plus Christmas time made me... forget.
    • Not far. If all you want to do is know that they will reciprocate and move oil around a tiny bit, then a metre or so is all you need. Half metre fore and aft is enough.
    • That's the spirit!
    • It's fine. Basically if it has seized (eg due to moisture/rust in the bores) it will either break free on the starter or it won't turn....then you'll know it is freed up If it turns and doesn't start (reasonably likely) you will need to troubleshoot but most likely issue is a seized injector from moisture; same if it starts but missfires. Anything else could have happened (eg mice nibbling electricals) but the only way to find out is to close your eyes and hit the key I'd also change the fuel filter again after a few minutes of running as it may catch a heap of crap on first start
