I was reading through the thread and was going to weigh in anyway, though looks like you're very much on the page I am reading from - so I'll +1 with with a bit more anecdotal evidence to support it

The ATR28SS15 would be a perfect turbo for your application. I didn't look into some thing even smaller as it doesn't make that much of a difference in response but did loses quite a lot of power. I'

^ lol... maybe I'll use a 3" intake pipe and add in more bends.. that usually gets the suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuutuuututuutut going LOL. Anyhow, some real world facts to back up the results.. errbody likes ti

Turbo feels like it will make heaps of power and feels pretty responsive considering I doubled the a/r on the exhuast housing. Might boost it to 12psi to see if theres a big change. I just can't believe how well the tial controls the boost. Nothing comes out The screamer until like 9-9.5 psi.

Did a naughty today and gave my car some full boost in a couple of gears to test the new clutch; I'm supposed to be running in a gearbox...

Fark me, not sure if I'll need E-flex straight away. On the freeway ramp 2nd took me there so fast I couldn't even enjoy it lol. And third gear roll from 80km/h is ridiculously good fun. <3 SS1PU

Now to be good for the rest of my gearbox run in period :/

Lol..yeah i was amazed how fast my car actually was with a decent clutch installed too.... anything over 4000rpm just gets scary now :laugh:

Can't wait to see the tune results

Stao, have you ever thought about doing a twin scroll turbine housing or are they too expensive to produce?

The turbo is not expansive to produce. all I have to do is slot the .82 rear housing in the center and insert an divider then profile the housing to suit turbine wheel, and we have a real twin scroll turbine housing. How ever it must be used on a twin scroll manifold as well external gate (preferably 2).

any chance of a internally gated twin scroll? I'll be down for that!

Didn't KKR produced a twins scroll internally gated turbine housing for their KKR480 and 560 turbos years back? It ring a bell as I have read many complaints about their lack in ability of boost control.

Wouldn't surprise me if they struggled with boost control. There is probably a reason you don't see many, if any twin scroll internally gated turbine housings

EVOs, STIs run internally gated twin scrolls. I just want it for simplicity & the "kinda" stock look instead of 2x gates hanging off the manifold.

Yeh, itd definently be worth a try i think, providing you can get it to control boost well. Sure as hell beats having to fiddle with plumbing up two external gates in that limited space.

One external gate is fine if you run the splitter right up to the gate valve.

I just don't think there is room to effectively flow the gasses on internally gated housings, other than the BW, they nailed it, but it makes the rear housing too large.

picka-boo TiAL :D ... pretty happy with the end result.

only on 10psi at the moment but holds dead flat, car is alot faster and spins all off second if i dump the clutch which it wouldn't do before.

Booking a tune at Chequered Tuning next week, aiming for 280rwkw at 18-19psi

do you have photos of the manifold? I'm curious :)

Just Google rb25 manifold lol. I haven't done anything to manifold. The external gate is off the rear housing. It was cheaper, easier, and I could use my factory crossover pipe with no mods. Just have to chop up the heat shield a bit.

Haha. Dual gate is true. But the internal one is locked of with a pin and is nice and sealed. I did it so I have better resale value as well as the option to use it for EPA excuses/rectification and the most important reason for me, bolts to existing dump pipe. Nice and easy

Just got to read from the photos onwards

      Shifting questions

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone

      Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.

      I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.

      I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?

      I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
