derrrr a few pages back lol nvm... I notice the internal gate is still there??

I really liked the way how the KKRs560 had the center divider grinded out for the internal gate to work. But either way that is not a "real" twin pulse housing. The pulse in the center must have the exact clearance to the turbine wheel as the rest of the turbine housing profile does (20 thou), with the pulse separated from the manifold all times. Realistically it needs two external gates and gets treated as "twin" turbos.

I seen one ( I think it was a Toyota turbo) which got 2x wastegaes in the turbine housing as in one per pulse. It will has to be setup that way for the to work. To get that working the pulse will need to be twisted so it actually faces the dump pipe area, Will need a new casting and etc to get that working. But nothing is impossible.

FINALLY got my car back on the road after about 4 months of no rego due to defect lololol

So good to feel the pull of a G3 again, right now I can't even fathom how it would feel with an updated version or even SS2....

Trade that old dinosaur in for some new technology!

Can't afford the upgrade and retune to be honest...since my 33 got defected for missing front numberplate (lol my fault...) it cost me roughly $2700 to get a roadworthy for it again (not to mention buying another car since it was my daily). I've spent enough on it for now, I'll just wait until I get used to and subsequently bored of this power again, then I'll see where I'm at.

Is that what it costs to clear a defect? man everything here in nsw is a total rip-off lol

lol what do you mean? My defect clearance included engineer's certificate for ALL modifications (~$1500) and fabrication+fitting of child restraint anchoranges (~$850)

That's the biggest load. Sif I'm ever going to be putting kids in my car. Even if I did, I'd take the trouble of getting the anchorages put in then. Why is a vehicle unroadworthy just because it can't carry kids seats? :/

So that hole is ok to use? Have thought putting thd baby seat in the car might get some sympathy if I ever get pulled over.

Or they might think I'm being a bad parent putting a kid in a skyline :laugh:

I fail to understand how these cars got complied without getting anchor points fitted. My R32 has 3 of them, and there was no way it was going to pass the import/compliance/rego inspection at Regency without them. That was last century!

    • Hi All,    I have my BW EFR 8474 with a T4 split 1.05 rear housing. Rear housing is ceramic coated and drilled and tapped for EMAP take off.  Supported 520awkw at 35psi through the 8HP with ~5k rpm spare on the BW 127k limit. Ran a 9.98.    Turbo is one of the first that was released but only done ~3k kms.    Asking $2800 happy to negotiate. Only selling to upgrade.   Located Gladstone QLD happy to ship. 
    • Hi is the Toshiba sceeen still available?
    • Just wondering how come the hood was grinded down? 
    • I have no hard data to report, but I have to say, having driven it to work and back all week, mostly on wet roads (and therefore mostly not able to contemplate anything too outrageous anywhere)..... it is real good. I turned the boost controller on, with duty cycle set to 10% (which may not be enough to actually increase the boost), and the start boost set to 15 psi. That should keep the gate unpressurised until at least 15 psi. And rolling at 80 in 5th, which is 2050 rpm, going to WOT sees the MAP go +ve very quickly and it has >5 psi by the time it hits 90 km/h. That's still <2.5k rpm, so I think it's actually doing really well. (I edited this from a previous version where I stated 80km/h was <2000, but that was a false memory. If I am rolling at ~1700 in 5th and floor it, it will start making boost before it goes over 2k - which is a separate "experiment" leading to the same conclusion. Which is that the boost threshold is actually quite low. It's not fast there, obviously, but it certainly makes progress towards going fast, which is not what it's been like for a long while!!) Because of all the not-quite-ideal things that have been in place since the turbo first went on, it felt laggy. It's actually not. The response appears to be as good as you could hope for with a highflow.
    • Or just put in a 1JZ, and sell me the NEO head 😎
