Hey Guys,

i just brought a r33 gtst with rb3025 in it, motor has been rebuilt around 20K ago with fCP pistons, spool rods, nitto pump etc.

turbo set up is a garrett GT35R T3 0.82 external gate. running ebay exhaust manifold & wastegate & 3 inch exhaust system.

here is a dyno graph i got when i brought the car looks to have a slight boost drop, and very wavey boost line is this normal?

or could that be casued by the shit manifold & wastgate? or the 3ich exhaust system?

yeah i thought i could be the manifold wastegate set up.

im going to throw some ID1000cc injectors in her add anthor 044 pump, change to the exhaust to a 3.5inch the whole way and add a Eboost2.

then see how she goes on around 25psi..

if i still have boost issues i guess 6boost manifold and good wastegate will go on..

The wavy part is just certain type of dynos do that I understand.

Yeah the poor boost control would be the china manifold.

So strange with a quality 2530 engine build with all the good stuff and a nice GT35R and then a cheap ebay china exhaust manifold??

nothing wrong with china manifolds. If setup correctly and modified right.

i got 4 years out of mine.. as long as you brace them and dont hang the exhaust on them they work quite good... I ran a 10 on mine.

only going to make a new one now because the exhaust was hung on it and it cracked again and we can just remake one at the shop in 2 days.

hi Guilt toy,

i knew you had one on yours after lots of reading in the forums..

so im hoping the probelm could be the 3inch exhaust.. and or the cat as i just brought the car its hard to know whats going on,,

what wastegate and exhaust system you running guilt?

its sitting on the floor waiting for my S14 shell to be finished.

to be honest im going through court with the people spraying it as they have had my car and money for well over 7 months now, and the car is still not near finished.

lots of hard earned money and stress has been pored into the s14.

i just went and brought something to get my mind off sh!t,

Man I have a gt3582r with a 6boost manifold, 50mm turbosmart gate, 3 inch turbo back exhaust and a stock cat. It is sucking through a z32 afm. So far I have run 20 psi and it is rock solid till my 7600 redline.

Based on my car I doubt it is your exhaust or your cat causing havoc.

well thats good to hear.

just wounder what RWKW it makes and what fuel?

i just seen my R33 has a GFB manual boost Tee not sure if this is the cause also.

Only thing i done 2 my $75 stainless manifold was cut between the runners so each runner bolts down seperately and seals perfect. got my tuner to die grind wastegate port out into 50mm hole with new piping welding on 2 suit new gate and perfecto.

Without looking at the exhaust it's impossible to say that.

A lot of jap "3 inch" exhausts actually have a 2.5-2.75 inch reducer internally where the mufflers start to reduce noise.

So they are not true 3 inch systems at all.

Without testing it, you cannot tell.

Easiest way to do so, get it on a dyno and do a before/after - after being dropping it from the dump pipe.

I was going to say something like that but was on my phone at work "hiding in the corner" so to speak.

We have different exhaust systems and what R31Nismoid says is correct. Just disconnect your dump from your front pipe, wire the front pipe up nice and high and go for a quick drive. Be aware that you will blow soot everywhere and possibly melt some wiring if you drive for very long. You will soon know if it is the exhaust making it lose boost or not. I tried running my car straight out the turbo very briefly when putting my setup together. My car lost 3 psi from putting the exhaust on but still held whatever boost till redline.

    • I know this one’s the BB one. My tuner did make mention about the actuator. I am curious about the VCT as well
    • Might also needs a stronger actuator with the right preloading. With older 2019 built bush G3 units, BB upgrade or 21U housing down size makes a pretty decent gain in response as well. 
    • Hey lads  so im finally putting together my rb30 forged bottom end and ran into an issue. I measured my main bearing clearance with arp main studs torqued to 60 ft-lbs using ACL H series STD size bearings and standard, un-ground crank shaft journals and got an oil clearance reading of about 1.3 thou measuring straight up and down and about 2.8 thou measuring at a 45 degree angle (just above and below the parting line). My machine shop said they measured the main tunnel and it was all within spec (they didnt say the actual measurement) and to go with a standard size bearing, which i have done and the clearance is too tight, I'm guessing because of the extra clamping force from the arp studs distorting the main tunnel. I was wanting to run about 2.5 thou main bearing clearance.  My questions are: 1. could i just use the HX extra 1 thou clearance ACL bearings? that would fix my straight up and down clearance making it about 2.3 thou, but then would the side to side clearance be too big at around 3.8 thou? 2. what actually is the recommended main bearing clearance for measuring near the parting line / side to side. i know its supposed to be bigger as the bearing has some eccentricity built into it but how much more clearance should there be compared to the straight up and down measurement? at the moment there is about 1.5thou difference, is that acceptable or should it be less? 3. If i took the engine block + girdle back to the machine shop and got them to line bore the main tunnel (like i told them to do the first time, but they said it didnt need it) what bearing size would i buy? the STD size bearing shells already slide in fairly easily with no real resistance, some even falling out if i tip the girdle up-side-down. If im taking material out of the main tunnel would i need a bearing with extra material on the back side to make up for it? this is probably confusing af to read so if something doesn't make sense let me know and ill try explaining in a different way. My machine shop doesn't come back from christmas break until mid January, hence why i'm asking these questions here. TIA for any help or info 
    • I bought the model back in Japan in Feb. I realised I could never build it, looked around for people who could build it, turns out there's some very skilled people out there that will make copies of 1:1 cars or near enough. I'm not really a photo guy... but people were dragging me in a group chat for the choice of bumper as someone else saw the car before it was finished as they are also a customer of that shop. I took the photo in the above post because I was pretty confident that the lip would work wonders for it. Here's some more in-progress and almost-done pics. It gives a good enough idea as to what the rear looks like!   I have also booked in a track day at the end of January. Lets all hope that is nothing but pure fun and games. If it's not pure fun and games, well, I've already got half an engine spare in the cupboard 
    • Well, do ya, punk? Seriously though, let's fu<king go! The colour and kit looks amazing on the car. Do you have any shots from the rear? I don't quite follow how the model came around. You bought the white kit and he modified it to match your car? Looks nuts either way!
