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!

Cheers

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

    • Hello everyone, I am from Malta and have recently bought myself a fully stock 1992 Nissan Skyline GTS. It has the RB20DE engine and thus is NA. Unfortunately, not a lot of information can be found online related to the GTS, unlike the information for GTS-T and GTR variants. Apart of the Skyline, I also got a 1984 Porsche 924 2.0l NA and a 2002 Renault Clio 1.5DCi for everyday use. Excited to be apart of the community and perhaps get better information on cars such as the GTS.
    • The fuel pump bracket just slides straight up.  Below is a pic I stole off a site. But basically put hand in for fuel pump, wiggle it all about a bit while pulling up. 
    • Went digging Duncan, there's another "item" that sits down under the plenum that the second pipe from the IACV goes down to. I believe that's the one that is apart of the cold start portion, and it then comes back up under the middle of the factory top plenum. I believe you will find it is unneeded on the forward facing plenum on Cheryl.   I just went digging further for some pics on the location of the one way check valve, and found something that confirms my thoughts from the first half of this point. I feel you can just block off that port that is coming down.     I can also confirm, the other line that you were thinking for vacuum that will just need a one way valve put into Cheryl is 100% correct too. The one way valve is normally screwed into the back of the factory inlet plenum.
    • You’re an absolute legend man. Cheers.  
    • The rule of thumb for any GTR thats doing a single turbo conversion is..... seqy... and when i say seqy, i dont mean the pos PPG either. *flamesuit on*
