Just fitted a GT3582R .82 with Tial 44mm gate in place of my previous GT3076R .82 with tial 38mm.

The 3076R ran mint, zero problems keeping boost at .8 to .9bar with zero EBC bleed off,

With the 3582R .82 w/ 44mm gate it is perfect till 5800rpm, doesnt even flinch, stays spot on .8bar, but as it hits 5800rpm it climbs like a btch to 1.8 1.9bar in a flash,

Ive checked all the boost controler hoses, all is fine, also turned it off, still same thing, checked my mapping, no massive changes in timing or fuel anywhere, particualy around that RPM,

Just wondering is anyone has has a problem like this, im wondering if maybe the new tial 44mm gate is not retracting all the way, displaying symptoms not common with regular wg being to small or manifold not flowing right where its a gradual increase, my problem feels more like a lightswitch effect,

as FYI this is on a RB25 S1 run with R33GTR D-jetro PFC, full built motor with 256 poncams, still the same mani and exhaust setup as the 3076R used without a problem,

Any hints would be fantastic,

I would have also said that, but its the exact same setup that the only minutely smaller GT3076R used, I increased the WG to 44mm (from 38mm) and increased the WG pipe size to try accomodate the slightly larger turbo, cant see it causing such a huge boost rise and not just a general over boost

G'day Rezlo.

I was just wondering if you were able to fix the problem with the overboost and what you actually did to fix it? as im experiencing the a similar problem to you. I have upgraded my turbo to a GT3062 and having the boost climb to high levels like your car.

Ive seen a few guys doing gates off the turbine housing, looks odd but works well. Just make sure its welded by a pro that knows about the materials hes using so it doesnt quench the housing.

My GT3076 is getting done as week speak. My mates GTK1000 has been done too.

Will never have any boost control problems ever again.

Im using a stock hi flowed manifold with the GT30xx, im actually not entirely sure wat the exact specs of the turbo as the rear housing is a custom item which is smaller then wat u can actually buy, ive been told its something like a GT3062. When i fitted it to the RB the wastegate wasnt completely opening and fouling on a weld in the custom dump pipe, but after that was fixed it still wants to continually boost, even with the boost controller all the way down. my mircotech has an ignition cut at 16 psi to prevent from overboosting. so could the problem be with the actuator itself?

    • I'm hoping I just don't have to do an engine rebuild NOW. Doesn't mean I won't do it at some point. I think a plus point is that the car presumably ran on or close to stock power nearly all it's life so far. Only the Owner I bought it from actually increased power with a standalone ECU and blew the OEM turbos. And after it got thee 2860s it wasn't driven an awful lot either.   That is what I meant. With the twins coming on so late (4500-5000rpm) I hope the rods won't want to exit the block prematurely. And it still being a 26 means the torque curve isn't gonna hike up all that much.   It didn't blow up on the dyno when they tuned it to 500ish crank. So I suppose it'll be okay for now. They did put a Tomei head gasket on first though which did not seal at all, and they redid it with a Cometic one. Which I hope won't be my water leak.   Mainly anything oil. So far all it has is the N1 pump, oil restrictor and a filter relocation kit with a cooler.
    • 15000? ish? Something like that anyway. It wasn;t so much a wear as a tear that then spread. Might have lasted a lot longer if not bothered by just one incident, whatever it was. I took a punt. They are really comfortable and do a good job of holding. My daughter HATED it when I first put them in, and probably still does now. She has sensory issues and hates the way they are all up your business. I'm 197cm and 95kg. Not fat or particularly wide, and the XL size seat is the rigth fit. If I was any fatter it would start to get too snug. Any skinnier and you'd possibly want the smaller width.
    • Mrs rs focus came factory with recaro cs  sportsters in it and they a pain in the ass to get in and out of with the really high bolsters, once you were in them they were one of the most comfortable seats I have ever sat in
    • The NA 2.5 has very little torque. You won't feel much. Those trannies are also a million years old now and it could well be f**ked. First generation electronically controlled autos will often refuse to kick down, ete, etc, depending on what's wrong with them.
    • Yes, but no but yes but no. Those "it's fine up to 500HP" rules and everything else like it were all determined back when the cars were 10 years old. As they are now 30 years old.....what do you reckon the chances of something shitting the bed are? I'd say they are much higher now than they used to be. You might be lucky. You might be unlucky. Spin the wheel and find out. Yeah, nah. It's actually exactly the opposite. Making boost early and having heaps of torque able to be generated right in the middle of the rev range will do more to damage an engine than having to rev it high to make the power. Think about the load on the conrods, bearings, etc, to make 400HP at 4000 rpm, vs 400 HP at 6500 rpm. So someone has already "let the Nissan out" which is how we describe the increased chance of a fiddled with engine to have had something done wrongly. Many more engines that have been opened die than stock ones do - even if you into consideration how they are treated wrt power levels and the like. Again, not saying that yours will definitely have been put back together by a moron. But the possibility does exist. It's still a lottery. Spin the wheel. What weakspots?
