Thanks guys.... haven't posted results yet because I dont have any.

Me and Toshi did the road tune, but we only got to 16 psi and then we noticed it was missing..

Fixed the miss and then noticed a few air leaks which I have now fixed.

Now Ive just gotta sort out a boost controller as my EVC isnt working and then Im good to do a proper dyno tune...

Cant wait to see what it puts out as its pretty wild atm and its only on 16psi.

Frys tyres when it hits boost in 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

Going to turn it up to 20psi and see what happens.

20psi? why stop there? lol

keep boosting till you find where it stops making power. tis what I will be doing with my SR SS1PU

On the SS series where people get big boost drops, is it worth trying the Gizzmo IBC-R EBC so you can set the gains

higher as rev rise to try counteract the drop in boost, or has anyone tried one and doesnt work ?, are they any good?

cheers

You need a strong actuator, but it needs to be installed after tuning preferably, (tuners don't like running it up on 20psi or more off the bat.) Once you have the stiff spring the electronic controller may have a chance of holding boost flat.

On the SS series plus other G series, they got updated wastegate setup now. The boost drop on those at about 20psi is around 2psi. If any one's got a huge 6~7psi drop then that has nothing to do with the actuator setup. It means its got some sort of restrictions more likely on the cold side. could be intake pipe, small cooler or blocked/bad/small piping.

You will find that by tabbing a boost gauge straight after the turbocharger and inside the plenum. If there are big differences then that is the problem. I'm seeing this often with return flow and some cheap ebay cooler kits. Reference is in page 83.

Some further updates on building the TD06/67 test rig. Car is now fitted with a Brae high mount manifold with our own 50mm external gate plumbed back with a 4inch exhaust exhaust.

Looks good. It did not come with a cheap price. All including the exhaust manifold, screamer, dump pipe plus installation comes to $1880 plus $250 for the external gate, including the turbocharger this kit comes to: $3230

How ever there is a very noticeable gain in mid top end torque without noticing the lose of response.

I will use this test rig to trail all the TDxx as well as the existing ATR43 turbochargers. This setup should provide the best possibly environment for the performance of any turbochargers, and is whats expected on a welly built track car. The end results will vary if components of the setup is differ.

Externally gated turbochargers are cheaper to produce.

haha dont push it too hard till its tuned :P ecu is map sensor based remember :P

hooo crap. I was red lining it 5th gear and my speedo pointed at 10km/H. Its still using the same turbocharger, external gate was holding pretty flat 20psi, in theory the exhaust side should be cooler compare to stock manifold, I didn't hear any knock, hopefully engine's alright. Or will be rebuilding it again for 2013.

Yes I was sitting in a hoist :P

This is my first batch of 25G billet compressor wheels. I've customized the wheel hub and fitted much larger blade with taller profile. I'm hopping to peek around 400rwkws on stock cams before hitting 7000RPMs on E85.

So dimension wise, do the T67's fit on the stock manifold with a spacer if you have one laying around there?

Are the comp covers any bigger than 3540 .70's ?

(and yeh i know you will say it makes to much power for stock mani, but thats not my question..lol)

cheers

If ron can fit a 5558 between the strut tower with a 12mm spacer im sure the T67 will fit too.

Im confident the comp cover will be similar in size to stao's .70 or a T04Z/precision etc. No issue there.

The issue is more so that the exhaust housing flange will be a different distance from the centre point of the CHRA. Realistically it makes no difference how much spacer plate you use provided that the comp housing clears the exhaust manifold.

It's a large housing, not sure it will fit on the stock manifold...

thats all anyone ever writes..lol, (not being rude) but 3540's fit on stockers, surely it can't be to much larger(if any)

be nice to know exactly by someone that actually had both for once, so its not misinformation.

Not thinking stocker mani, be interesting if it fitted on a BREA or NZ style sidemount

the 5558 would be .60 3076 in size would it not?(thats what it looks like in pics) , bit smaller than the .70's

cheers

Hey Stao, I'm still digging the development your pooring into your products..... AND freely sharing the info.

I'm hoping you have a little something in your bag of tricks that can help me..

I drive a S2 (rb25 neo) stagea as a daily... usual mods (fmic, full 3" exhaust, nistune, fuel pump etc...) Do you have a bolt in turbo option/combination that will come on power earlier than the standard turbo? But still make the same or more power. Essentially making it feel like a bigger engine.

I'd like to cap the boost around 18psi

Cheers

Justin

    • Does that price include the rack time to straighten the frame and body and replacement of parts and paint, as well as the noise and emmisions testing  The last engineering certificate I had done, albeit about 15 years ago, was around $1000 for a few inspections and the certificate 
    • 😂 thanks guys. The diagram i had did not have the breather on it at all. Much appreciated.  
    • Geez, engineers fees have definitely gone up. Mine back 2007 cost me all of $300. Mind you, I had to go back to him a few times to get him to write the correct things on the report after he'd inspected it. Things like wrong exhaust size, wrong wheel sizes, etc etc.
    • Can we see a scan of the original quote? The problem with engineers (and by this, I mean, all engineers across all engineering industries) is that there are "engineers" and there are "engineers" (you'll have to imagine the two different vocal emphases on those two versions of the same word. Engineering is a mindset - your farm kid who spent his life rebuilding the tractor will likely make a good engineer. The farm kid who spent his life taking photos of butterflies.. perhaps not. But on top of that mindset, the modern engineer has to learn how to write so that there is absolutely no way of being misunderstood. Proposals/budget estimates/quotations are one place where this is absolutely vital. You have to delineate your scope of supply with extremely hard boundaries, and anywhere where there is any possibility of not being able to have such a hard boundary, you need to write language that will cover you from scope creep, cost overruns, the inevitable interference of the client or their "engineer", etc etc. Now, if your clients are the BHPs and the Rio Tintos of the world, and similar, then you get good at this. If you are an automotive engineer, pitching work to the great unwashed masses, your skills in this area might not be well developed, because you're only dealing with knuckle draggers trying to get a big block legal in a Torana. And when I say "might not"....I'd suggest there's a better than even chance that any such skills might be completely absent. So, we might be able to look at your quote and see what the opportunities are for rebuttal.
