Gtx3076 gen2 boost creep

You are missing a grub screw. The gate has 2x sets of boost reference ports which are located on the top and bottom of the diaphragm.

You only need to use 1x of each from the top and bottom (as you have) and block the other ones not used as these are used to hook up in parallel additional gates.

There is nothing wrong with how the gate is mounted and the size of it.

1.4 is my target on 97 Ron fuel but if it seems reliable I’ll possibly try 1.5, i don’t want to forge the engine however so baby steps I guess. What’s the opinion ? On a safe level for a unopened neo

If you're achieving 465rwhp the in-cylinder pressures are getting up there.

With good tuning the pistons/rods ought to survive. But the OEM head gasket with a bit of age might not be that long lived if the car sees a lot of heavy duty use.  MLS type + head stud kit would be worth looking at IMO.

Tune will dictate what's "safe".

Hi dale cheers for reply

Ye, I have now replaced that grub screw, at the tuning shop we didn’t have any handy so took me a day or 2 to find a 1/16thNPT grub screw, but it’s sorted now

so just waiting to get a bit of free time possibly Friday to reset the controller and go through the steps

to add however that 465 is at crank, I’m in the UK and most tune companies measure at crank so it’s not rwhp man, sorry for confusion

Typical pommies lol

I work with a bunch of them 

I am surprised your tuner continued to tune the car as is without the top section of the gate properly plumbed up. I would have only ran a boost reference to the lower port and inverted the EBC operation instead of pushing through with the way it was (which could have ended badly with poor boost control).

With the gate properly plumbed is that likely to combat my creep too ? It would be nice to hold a fairly steady 1 bar as per spring

 

ill try get a few hours spare to set the controller up over the next few days

SO to bring this back up

the car was re-tuned by a second tuner, who has left my evc turned off, as again the setup was creeping. I did have the boost controller working but he seen no point leaving the evc on as the turbo was creeping on its own to the area of boost intended to run. I maxed out my fuelling so the 570 injectors will be coming out, to allow beyond 1.3/1.4 bar of tune. He also thinks a precision wastegate will solve the creep, 

The creep is giving a very linear delivery rather than coming on boost harder.

I had similar issues on 6 boost single pulse T3 manifold same style as yours. Running a smaller turbocharger with a 45mm turbosmart external gate. It kept on creeping as engine revved out with a 14psi spring, no boost controller. In saying that I have seen the same turbo working with a 45mm gate with a different manifold. I think its more less the way of where and the angle of the gate is mounted on the 6 boost causing this problem. I guess easiest solution would be moving on to bigger gates.

    • Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.
    • From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)
    • In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird
    • Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller
    • So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
