there still seems to be a crucial element missed.... its been asked but nobody has answered.

if its a 6boost TS manifold..... into a TS turbo........ shutting off one of the scrolls even to only 45% is more of less shuttung off 3 whole cylinders to that extent. It wont simply close that side and magically redirect the gas elsewhere....

Or is there something Im missing?

Not the way Rockabilly has done it, he has a twin scroll manifold and twin scroll turbo - the flapper in his turbine housing diverts the gases from one scroll into the other by way of some material removed from the housing. When pressure reaches a certain level, the "gate" closes and the divider becomes complete again - so there is never a point either of the groups of 3 cylinders will ever be completely blocked, however one set will have a direct path down the turbine housing and the other set will be forced to make a restrictive detour which I'm not completely confident would be confidence inspiring to tune for.

I wouldn't worry about it (the unbalanced restriction). The diverter is only in effect while you bring it up onto boost. As soon as it's got some serious load into it (ie, on boost) you can normalise the diverter and everything will be fine. At the lowish loads at which it will be functional, you'd have to be a 6-toed moron to bugger the tuning up.

Hi Rockabilly, how did you go with the linear actuator control of the valve?

If your still playing with this, the actuator that is used on the factory 2JZ twin turbo sequential setup would probably be large enough to operate it. Thats if you have the room to fit it. The actuator operates a valve that enables the second turbo on the 2jz's. It has a lot more throw than a conventional actuator too, so its size combined with leverage could solve your problem. See the pic.

sounds like a good idea....

would like to get my hands on one to tinker with.

U can use something like above to make similar effect. I've made this for Boost performance's 2JZ None VVTI Chaser, Car pulled 9.9Secs in a worked Auto. Apparently made 2psi differences at 3500RPM. I found this type of vale worked better on a VCT Rb25det motor.

    • Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
    • Hi guys, has anyone either purchased or built themselves a rotisserie for their car before? I can only just justify the need for one hence why I should just make one but at the same time, if I make one I can kiss another 4 weeks of potentially productive car working time goodbye because I'm building a bloody rotisserie....  I mainly want it for the application of the body deadener.  Cleaning the old stuff off, priming and then colour over the deadener doesn't worry me, it's just the application using the Schutz Gun that I feel would achieve a significantly better finish painting it side on and keeping the Schutz Gun upright.  I don't think they would work well on the side let alone almost upside down for some areas.  If the product I use (Terosun, etc) could work through a HVLP ok then it might be ok to apply without the rotisserie.   I can get one of these style ones for about $1200 which is pretty good value-     I reckon if I made one it would cost around $500 but it's more the time that it would take is more of a killer than the cost.  They look to hold their value pretty well second hand so I could always sell it after using it and realistically only lose $200-$300 at worst.  Or keep it and buy another project when this one finally sees the light of day... Anyone selling one...? Cheers!  
    • While it is a very nice idea to put card style AFMs into the charge pipe (post intercooler, obviously), the position of the AFM and the recirc valve relative to each other starts to become something that you really have to consider. The situation: The stock AFM is located upstream the turbo, and the recirc valve return is located between the AFM and the turbo inlet, aimed at the turbo inlet, so that it flows away from and not through the AFM. Thus, once metered air is not metered again, neither flowing forwards, or backwards, when vented out of the charge pipe. When you put the AFM between the turbo outlet and the TB, there is a volume of pressurised charge pipe upstream of the AFM and there is a volume of pressurised pipe downstream of the AFM. When the recirc valve opens and vents the charge pipe, air is going to flow from both ends of the charge pipe towards the recirc valve. If the recirc valve is in the stock location, then the section between it and the TB doesn't really matter here - you're not going to try to put the AFM in that piece of pipe. But the AFM will likely be somewhere between the intercooler and the recirc valve, So the entire charge pipe volume from that position (upstream of the AFM, back through the intercooler, to the turbo outlet) is going to flow through the AFM, get registered as combustion air, cause the ECU to fuel for it, but get dumped out of the recirc valve and you will end up with a typical BOV related rich spike. So ideally you want to put the AFM as close to the TB as possible (so, just upstream of the crossover pipe, assuming that the stock crossover is still in use, or, just before the TB if an FFP is being used) and locate the recirc valve at the turbo outlet. Recirc valve at the turbo outlet is the new normal for things like EFRs anyway. In the even of a recirc valve opening dumping all the air in the charge pipe, pretty much all of it is going to go backwards, from the TB to the recirc valve near the turbo outlet. But only a small portion of it (that between the TB and the AFM) will pass through the AFM, and it will pass through going backwards. The card style AFMs are somewhat more immune to reading flow that passes through them in reverse than older AFMs are, so you should absolutely minimise the rich pulse behaviour associated with the unavoidable outcome of having both a recirc valve and an AFM in the charge pipe.
    • Yep, in my case as soon as I started hearing weird noises I backed off the tension until it sounded normal again. Delicate balance between enough tension to avoid that cold start slip and too much damaging things.
