How's it going everyone,

 

Having a bit of trouble on my Mamba GTX3071 with .73 rear housing on my rb25.
I've got the 18psi spring in the wastegate, but for some reason it wants to boost boost over 25psi, it doesn't seem like it wants to stop?
It holds smooth until about 4500 rpm then goes crazy.

 Things I've tried:

- Went from split dump to bell mouth dump (didn't help)
- Shoved compressed air in wastegate to make sure it opens (it opens)
- Filmed the wastegate while driving (it opens)
- Boost leak tests (no leaks)
- Tried weaker spring, tried stronger spring (still over boosts)

Has anyone had this type of problem with these turbos before?
Saw a video where SAMMIT ported out the wastegate hole, but to me it looks like it's quite large already?

Yeah you'll need to port out the wastegate hole and run a larger flap (if possible), alternative is to just weld up the wastegate port and run a gate off the stock manifold (don't delete the stock divider).

    • I dunno man, that VX S with 200,000 k's is still hanging out for 1.5 I reckon the R34 is the better buy, personally.
    • Dang, doesn't even include on roads.
    • Only in a market where OBD was a thing. The rest of the world was quite happy to let the US EPA only affect US cars for quite a while. The* problem with datalogs is that unless you are very familiar with what every trace should look like, on their own and as an ensemble, you can and will see weird shit that can and will lead you astray, not realising that what you are seeing is the normal consequence of various transient inputs. *Really, "a" problem, as there are of course many other problems too. Look, these cars are so bloody simple that if it is missing or stumbling, the obvious thing is to break out the old mental diagnostic list and just go do all the things that you know you should. After proving that the plugs are clean and sound, ditto the coil stalks, coils, loom connectors, etc, and then making sure that there is fuel pressure at about the right numbers (while driving!, not while sitting in the garage free blipping it), then maybe you go looking at AFM voltages, manually testing the igniter, putting a scope on the CAS, etc. Then you're into pulling the injectors for a spray pattern look-see and perhaps a clean, squirting carby cleaner around the inlet manifold looking for leaks, and all the more annoying and esoteric, but still common as muck faults that these things have. I wouldn't ever bother looking at the trims, as they are usually bullshit on these old clunkers anyway.
