Hi, Just got my car back today from RacePace. Ben & myself are very pleased with it.

I had someone sell me the wrong Spring for my wastegate - wanted 14.5 or 15psi spring but got a 25 or more?

Anyway Ben had a 10psi spring and the car made 284.6RWKW @20psi. I will be putting another spring in & try for 300RWKW.

The car feels great & Ben was right - It does feel like a lot more than 285.

Cheers

Chris

What size turbine housing?

Very nice complete setup. :)

Hi Cubes, I think it is 0.62 for the housing. I will check tomorrow. Sorry I have to go out again!

Was yours the white the GTST? Was there at the same time as mine 'cept I was without mine for 10 weeks!

Nice result too BTW. :mellow:

Yep, Mine was the Polar White GTS-T with a couple of Scratches which are being fixed very soon.

you running a 3.5" dump also?

thats gonna make the difference that i didnt have :D

Also you got the slightly smaller one... hence the extra psi to get to 280

I'd take a staby-stab at it being a .82

If its a .63 then thats amazing results

Another quality job. Good to see that the stock cam'd RB25 heads pumping great power without the need to spend $$$ on em :D

Thanks Ash, I think you are right, more likely the .82. I must have been looking at the cover size. I'm not sure if it's a 3.5dump, can't remember. I will be talking to Ben tomorrow because he want's some feedback and I'm going to change the wastegate spring, maybe the whole waste gate.

What are your thoughts - Should I stick with a 50mm gate? or put a Original HKS 40mm one on?

Cheers,

Chris

Should be 0.82 turbine housing, not 0.62

if your current gate is giving no issues and its not creeping too much, stick with it.

The idea wuith the rates is to get as close as you can to ur target psi off the gate spring where u can... im sure you already know that :D

mine crept heaps (45mm t/smart progate) in 4th/5th under load @ higher speed when i was using 7psi spring/17psi (bleeder)

using a 14psi spring/17psi (via bleeder) it was excellent and stayed shut in 5th much longer

on 24psi with the juice it was just mental so i didnt have time to worry about it.

find out about the dump, be interesting :D

    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
