Looks like you were using an old school Jap gate on a decent sized precision housing. Was the gate kept divided or was it just open to both scrolls?

My issue is I'm looking at doing it on a tiny turbo housing so getting good flow to the gate and keeping it divided will be difficult

I believe the problem was the direction of the gas flow. I have a book on turbo design and setup. It's always best to have the gate plumb in a angle that best for gas flow. So the best would be off the turbine housing, as to get that same angle off the manifold would require lots of space which most setups don't have. It's the best way to control boost. But from what I gather here it's all about the way the pulse hits the turbine wheel. And just adding the gate on the turbine housing is just like having a fake twin scroll manifold, hense it will control boost better as it's easier to release the exhaust gas/pressure. But I would say if it's not separated all the way to the gate valve like most have mentioned. It's not a true twin scroll. It's about faster boost not to much the control of it. I do agree that the control is important. 1489285042538.jpeg

Anywhere in the collector would work well only if it can be angled in the direction of the gas flow from what I understand will control boost the best. And the gas/flow doesn't have to change direction in such a hard angle. But the plus is a different story and like GTSBoy said if there is a merge anywhere before/or an opportunity to do so will reduce the response of boost coming in faster. Just my 2 cents

I've always been skeptical of these single gate twin scroll manifolds 

I had at one point too - but the more I thought about it, the more I figured actually so long as the manifold was built like the one pictured above... the less it's really a thing at all, probably at worst it'd be much of a muchness with a full twin gate setup, and possibly have it's advantages.  I certainly have been impressed with the Sinco single gate divided entry setups I've experienced :)

I've jumped on the divided single gate bandwagon because of plumbing headache of twin gates. my only concern is boost creep due to 90 degree turn the flow needs to do to get out, but with high enough exhaust manifold pressure I'm hoping that shouldn't be too much of an issue.

the divider is very well constructed to the contours of the wastegate valve face, and the seat ring JUST fits over the ends. for all intents and purposes they are insolated until the gate opens.

I'm is exactly the same way mate. I see you have a EGT on every runner? I take it that's it's for individual cylinder tuning.?
It's very nice. Do you cap them all off after the tune.?? Sorry for all the questions mate.

I think if the runner for the gate was just angled abit when it was welded to the collector it would be way better at controlling boost at lower pressure. Keeping it angle as much as it can in the direction of the gas flow.

I was always under the impression that those ports on each runner where for anti lag hahhah please correct me if I'm wrong
For anti lag what exactly? You were very very wrong haha



No mate hahhaa.....I'm definitely not wrong.
Do a Google search and you'll find a myriad of info on what I'm talking about...
Below are a couple of pictures of examples of antilag systems...

Here's a link to an aftermarket kit I'll be using - https://brewedmotors.com/blog/rally-style-anti-lag-system-tuning.html

So the site seems to have crashed and now restored but many recent posts have been lost.....?

Anyways my last post was something like "I might just start an antilag thread to get more detailed info from other who have had hands on experience with it, unless there is already a decent thread out in SAU"

Has anyone done a GTX3585 v band twin scroll manifold with twin gates?  I am looking at the GCG merge collectors to fabricate a manifold for my GTX3582 turbo.  Any pics will be helpful as getting a proper merge collector for twin scroll is proving to be a big problem.

    • Meh, I think we're well into a new era of 90s JDM car. The days when spare engines and parts were cheap and plentiful are long gone. Therefore the YOLO approach is now massively difficult to justify, use and maintain. One should start to ponder whether an 800HP build is really justified, using stock parts. My thoughts? If you like/love the car and want to keep it and don't want to ruin yet another one, then be discrete about how much you ask from the stock parts. A 5 or 600 HP build is still a very fast car. If you want to go silly, have to have the 1000HP territory, then just drop all your cash, buy billet everything (or PRP cast block, etc etc) and use a bigger/more modern gearbag, and put a massive retrofit diff and axles into it. If you ruin any of those things then you're either ham fisted and deserve it, or you're pushing waaaay too far for the stock stuff anyway. The (presumably) young guys who are buying 30-35 year old busted arse Jap refugees and thinking they can live the life that was lived by others 20 years ago are deluded. Expectations need to be adjusted somewhat.
    • Just don’t be silly enough to think it’ll never happen either 
    • I take it that you bought the centre to suit the GTR axles? As in there was a plan, not just somehow lucky that it worked? It all looks excellent, by the way.
    • New engine block time. Up to you whether you want to keep going down this road with this project. Unfortunately a lot of these cars are like this. The road to getting these cars into decent shape is long and not fun for reasons that you're discovering. 
    • Essay time. First things first, an RB running stock turbo and boost levels shouldn't get so bad as to stall from reversion if the recirc valve has been deleted. Should get a little fluffy and annoying, but in my experience, not so bad as to stall. Of course, every car is a bit different, so it remains possible that stalling will happen. So, running with no recirc valve is somewhat of an option, for otherwise stock stuff. Atmo BOVs cause all sorts of shit, even on an otherwise stock setup. Only gets worse the higher the boost and the bigger the turbo. At that point you really need to go for a different ECU and no AFM. Rebuilding the stock recirc valve configuration is not hard. You just need a stock or aftermarket BOV with the appropriate adapter for the 2 bolt flange on the back of the J pipe, and to get/make an appropriate ~1" pipe to get the air back to the turbo inlet, and to possibly modify the inlet (if it is not stock) to take the recirc pipe back in. Not hard. Just takes some cutting and welding. Putting an R35 type AFM into the car anywhere is not as simple as just buying the AFM and throwing it in. You will also need to buy the appropriate boss that will then need to be welded onto the pipe where you're installing it. You can clearly see why by looking at the photo posted above. They are not a "simple" swap for a stocker. You can't put on in place of the stock AFM. You can put one in place of the stock AFM, if you get the mounting boss and weld it to some pipe and otherwise make that pipe piece work like the stock AFM housing. Or you can buy such an adapter, either complete with the 4 bolt flange for the air box, or without, for varying degrees of work needed to then make it fit your stock airbox or some pod filter or whatever you have going on. Oh, and the R35 AFM is not plug and play. The wiring is different, but changing that is trivial. The plug is also different so you either end up repinning the original wires onto the new plug, or you just use a short adapter. If you weld a boss to the cold side pipe, the cold side pipe really wants to be 3", otherwise the scaling on the meter can get a bit weird, but whatever the pipe size, it's not as easy as just using the (fully documented in the Nistune doco) simple method for choosing R35 AFM in X" pipe size in the software, because the scaling will already be a bit different. Anyway, all of this has been comprehensively worked through on the Nistune forums, so there is full knowledge available. I would use a Link/Haltech before I would bother putting an AFM into a cold side pipe. That's a lot of effort for a bodge. Nistune is great, can work well even at fairly high power levels, but you are stuck with the limitations of it being the stock ECU, which includes needing to use an AFM, which is not always convenient for every set of modifications. You have to have a think about what you already have, what you want to have, and decide early if you'd be better off jumping ship to an aftermarket ECU. This so you don't waste time and money doing things 2 or 3 times. Never heard of ECUmaster. Sounds like a backyard operation. If there are good tuners for it where you are, and it is a solid product, then it will be fine. We're only talking about an R engine here. Back in the day they all ran on crude nasty early 90s ECUs and they were fine. You don't need a rocket surgeon's ECU to run one.
