the id of the pipe is 38mm so coke cap is way too small haha. i found that turbosmart have blanking plugs so i will prob just get them. i also found that my dimmer cap for my shift light fits nicely over the pipe. so i need to see were i can find another one of them and get the blanking plug LOCALLY insted of ording online and having to wait.

to add a note, with the rb26 stock plumbing, with the turbos intake pipes, one its a hose that a pipe goes into and other is a pipe that a hose goes onto.

you will find that chair stoppers from clark rubber turn rock hard when they are exposed to heat n the engine bay for extended periods of time, had one fail on a friend on a hill run had to cable tie a plastic bag onto it to get him home lol

if your gonna use one, keep another spare in your glove box lol

      Boost level and torque curve

      There is a LOT of stuff that can be done, it all depends on how much time and money you want to spend on doing in.  Not all ECUs will be able to do it, and the more control you need the more time and knowledge needs to be put into making it work.  If you're willing to spend the time and money and have the right hardware and skills involved there's a lot that can be done.

      I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Lithium · Posted

      Correct.  In the case of the 500kw dyno plot I showed you the car actually runs two boost control solenoids for boost control and a 5psi wastegate spring.  It allows me to control how much boost pressure is applied to both sides of the wastegate valve at any point and fairly accurately control boost target as a result. I've tuned it so that it's able to target anywhere from 5psi to 25psi depending on what's needed.  The target tables I've set up in that car are Gear vs RPM, so every gear has potential for a different boost (and torque) curve.   First and second gear have quite low boost targets, third gear actually has different target boost all the way through the rpm range as it's a stock RB25 gearbox - the boost targets have been chosen to maintain a peak of 600nm (what the owner has set as the maximum torque he's happy with putting through the stock 3rd gear) but it carries that to the rev limiter.   The boost curve to achieve that is something of a ramp up, then hold, then ramp up again and the power curve looks more like a flat line haha.
