I think there is a difference. Normally, an external wastegate is mounted on a separate pipe from the exhaust manifold. So when the wastegate is opened, some air bypasses flowing through the turbo. If the wastegate is mounted on the exhaust housing of the turbo, the exhaust air always flows into the turbo and then out through the wastegate...so the air never bypasses the turbo.

Hope you get good hp.

I got the bill for my car today. Half of the bill was fixing up the fark ups the other shop did.

The dodgy shop grinded a piece out of my turbo!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't spend $2300 on a 800hp turbo so some fark nut could grind it.

Anyway. 2 page list of screw ups.

So good luck rob :)

Sheesh! That is a big turbo!! Almost like that white JUN s15 in Perth with the T88 on it. Which makes me wonder, why didn't you go all the way with a T88? I would have with that sized turbo :) I think lag monster is an understatement :) Anyway, should be fun. Do you use it on the street, or as a strict drag car?

When does the car come on boost? I am guessing it starts to make boost around 4500rpm? 5000rpm?

about 4500 u get a large surge.

Depends which t88 he has. My turbo is the same size as the smallest t88. Tho the bigger t88 are 1000hp rating.

I just wanted to go for the Garrett. The T88 never crossed my mind.

It a street car, never set foot on the 1/4 mile. Just want it to be a dyno car with gas.

Might go to coast this weekend. Haven't been for 3 months.

Street car? Wow! I am guessing you usually drive off boost, unless you thrash the car around? :) Not sure what T88 it is, but it's been in many mags. I'm sure you've seen/read it. I think it has a 2.2L stroker kit too.

Can I ask why Garrett? Not HKS? I guess Garrett is a lot cheaper than HKS and TRUST. Never thought about a smaller turbo? I mean, I thought a GT30 would be good enough on a SR20. Unless you are chasing insane power like 600hp+? Is that what you're chasing??? How much boost are you running and what's your power output?

Yeah I've seen that Jun s15. Goes very well.

I'll stop soon as I get 500rwhp

At the moment its only running 14psi as it still has stock internals.

Which are getting replaced hopefully at the end of the year. Was running 17-18psi when I took it too dyno shop.

I'll get a kw figure tomorrow for my pissy 14psi :) over 230 for 14psi over 270 for 17 going by one of the work man there

Well its all done. Cars damn noisey now with the external gate, might have to look into some sort of resonator to keep the noise down even with a external wastegate line that plumbs back into the exhaust. I'll attach the dyno sheets, there are 2, one shows the boost and how quickly (or slowly I should say) it comes on the other shows my afr. The power curve is quite ugly midrange where the stock ecu dumps a whole heap of fuel into the map and then by the top end its sitting about right where its making huge amounts of power. The car is much quicker, as you can imagine, but the lag is quite bad. Firstly I need to reset my sbc as all the functions have been dropped cos the battery was disconnected for so long. Now I definately need a bigger fuel pump, bigger injectors and then I can think about a new ecu to fix up my ugly power curve. Its pretty promising so far, I just wish it wasnt so laggy, but that can be partially fixed by setting up the gain correctly on my sbc and then with a new ecu and advancing the ignition maps a bit. I think we can safely say I will reach 400hp by the end of it at the treads quite easily.

    • More photos are up, and the price has been dropped to $16,000. It's just had a service and a new 12V battery, too.
    • I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.
    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
    • Oh man, sorry, $60.00000000... 😛
    • That's more or less what he meant. What it really means is that you do not have to go full crazy on the build. Don't need the best oil pump, expensive rods & pistons, big cams, etc. You can upgrade whatever you want instead of using stock level items, but you don't have to. Having said that - any time an RB is opened up, if anything is getting replaced, I think the opportunity should be taken to do all the sensible upgrades. Pistons, rods, pump, etc.
