Hope it clears up today. Wanted to go for a drive, maybe north side, and check out Rosie.

Friggin windy & rainy still but a glimpse of blue sky - hopefully blow over

It's sunny over this side - I'm heading over to Rob's (2mins from my place) and working on Rosie (Spark plugs) - Can go for a quick cruise-about afterwards if you're heading to the North shire Richard?

Having a suspicious engine cut out at 5,500 RPM in 3rd.

Friday 9.30pm? (not this weekend, next weekend)

It's the long weekend though.

Is this going ahead Shell?

how much boost are you running?Im running 14PSI and its still alright for a 1.1gap.Im changing mine soon and not sure if i should stay with bigger gap as it gives a better spark or just go for 0.8gap

[Sinista32]

Decide if/when you get an issue.

As you say the larger the gap the bigger the spark

Haha great minds... was just coming in here to start a thread... not Limelight though

I'm running 14 PSI at 5,000 RPM and when it gets to around 6,000 RPM a MASSIVE boost increase happens - Rob can confirm this weirdness. However, the Engine cut out has been fixed after Rob and I changed the Sparkies. I think the gap was 0.8 (Rob can confirm).

Surely 14 PSI is unsafe - I was planning to get a R32 GTR Accularator (Spelling?) which will give me 10 PSI.

[Duncan]

pretty sure you mean an r32 gtst wastegate actuator. It's the brass fitting that controls boost through the turbo's internal wastegate.

But unless you can easily find one, it is just as easy to use a standard actuator and a bleed valve to get 10-12psi. If you are running 14psi someone has already been fiddling with your boost control, but it's not really like an instant turbo death sentence

[RosieR34]

Oops R32 gtst hmm so 14 is quite safe if I don't feng it every time set of lights or whatnot?

[Anfanee]

tbh 14psi is probably fine on a NEO engine...

[RosieR34]

That's a mighty relief. I'll do some snooping about. I assumed 14 was to high for a stock rb25

[Anfanee]

14 is high for old ceramic turbos. the NEO has steel. 14 should be fine... i know people that run 14 daily on ceramic r32 gtr turbos and its fine.

[Got a Pulsar]

32 GTST Actuator. You talk to me...

I honestly think it is all plumbed in wrong and is bleeding all actuator pressure back into the BOV return pipe, therefore Not opening the Gate.

I thought maybe as 33 turbs seem to Splode over 12 psi maybe 34 OP6 turbs would possibly be the same safe level???

Edit* Are OP6s steel not ceramic?

[Anfanee]

correction: double checked they are ceramic. so no more than 12psi daily.

pull the turbo off and rubuild to n1 spec IMO. Steel wheel ftw.

um - not sure that's good value for money. Check through Cooma Diesel (GCG, Garret reps) the cost ....

I was quoted $900+ per turbs way back when.

New = $1250ea for -7's. Now they are $2300 a pair.

You may wish to join Erics GB on the HKS ss' when you find out the price.

He's doing a pair with full kit for $3k

(expect commission if he does Mr Deziner)

34 OP6 turbs = 1bar max (14psi)

[RosieR34]

You guys totally lost me. So 14 PSI is too much and should be at 12 PSI.

What's this about rebuilding a turbo? Kinda want to avoid that.

EDIT: So 14 PSI max is okay - but to be safe I should be at 12 PSI?
