Hi everyone, Running a GenT1000 kit on a LS1, having a drama making boost. ive checked all cooler piping and vaccum lines, checked rear wheel on turbo (T51R garrett) and thats fine. next to check is wastegate (bugger of a spot to get off just to check) ive changed bovs out incase they were staying open, but there not.

Problem is its like its struggling to make boost, ive turned boost controller off so it will run spring pressure ( 7psi ) and is only making 3psi. has anyone heard of the tial 44mm gate having dramas like this? if the spring broke would it make more then 7psi boost or would it make less?

Thanks

ps: i tried the search button also :P

Ive discovered that the spring pressures arent really what Tial say they are. I mean, i had a 15psi spring and was making 19psi, then i changed to a 7 pound spring and was making 11 psi.

You'll also notice that the spring rates differ between the GCG Turbos website and Tial USA website for the same spring. For example a large yellow on GCG might be 7psi, but on the us site it'll say its 10psi.

Weird.

kinda what happen to me mine was only making 4pound lol so i took it somewhere apparently my timing was out shit loads and the computer was putting the pounds down coz thats what it was safe to run well thats what the computer was doin

lol, shouldn't you be at www.ls1.com.au?

Or are they too bogan stupid over there to help you?

it isnt engine based problem, people on here a running tial setups aswell as big turbo's. didnt post here to start shit, i came here because most of you would prolly have upgraded turbo setups. Internal gated turbo's are most common with ls1.com.au.

thanks for the reply mate. i might just rip the wastegate out and have a look and see whats happening inside it. ive emailed tial and awaiting there reply regarding the issue aswell.

thanks for the reply also mate, boost controller doesnt run with the engine management, 2bar map sensor sorts out timing, pressure and fuel etc.

    • As strange as this sounds (as they are fixed back), my Bride Xero CS seats are the most comfortable seats I've used.  I vote go genuine.  The only downside I've found is on very long drives, you can't reposition your body while driving. So even though its comfy, being locked in the same position eventually becomes uncomfortable. I find myself stopping every 3 or so hours to stretch my legs on long drives. 
    • You don't have to be bored driving a Camry. Not based on the way that a couple of f**king Ubereats/Didi/othersortofmethaddlednightshiftattheservicestationrecentimmmigrants were piloting them on the way to work this morning. f**k me dead!
    • FWIW, the Bride reps are really nice to sit in. The only complaint I have, other than the tear in my bolster, is that the velcro used to hold the backrest cushion in place, up under the headrest, is a little obvious and intrusive and could probably be done better. I don't know if that is a "feature" on the genuine ones also though. I haven't looked at a genuine one like the ones I have, only some of the older models. The other thing is, even though I bought the CF ones, I think the CF is really just decorative, over the top of the same FG as the normal seats. And so they really aren't light. Between the solidly built CF/FG seat, the steel frame in the recliner mechanism, and the solid-arse seat rail, they are probably heavier than even the stock seat. They are a serious lift to get in and out of the car.
    • Yes, and so the barest minimum power target is the one that makes the most sense. Massive power is fun, but you can only use it for 1.5s at a time, and only every now and then. Medium power levels allow you to enjoy the car far more often and for longer. 500 engine HP is just below 300 rwkW which is about the maximum that is sensible for any street car really. And for a 2.6L six, it will still leave you with a decent boost response and some sort of linearity of power delivery. As you get up towards 400rwkW the onset of power tends to be increasingly like a cliff and you need drag radials to keep the ground in proper contact with the car, and.... it's just not a car for driving around any more.
    • I already reached that conclusion myself after reading up a whole bunch and watching various videos from multiple sources. Don't know yet how I'd best manage that with the least amount of headache. Probably pulling the sump and just welding on a AN10 adapter or something. I also think it's healthy to take most opinions with a grain of salt, because experiences differ wildly and especially Aussies - when talking about RBs - don't know a world below 600whp drag builds. Personally I doubt I will ever take my R33 racing, so it's going to be a street car with the occasional spirited drive. Hence why I am (so far) under the impression that I'm going to be fine with a stock-ish engine for a while.
