Wastegate ported.
Then, attempt at getting her road legal again!
Mostly back together now. Hopefully take her for a spin in the weekend make sure we are not over boosting. And set up the low and high boost settings. Then, attempt at getting her road legal again!

Wow! That's like, twice the area. That's a tiny little hole for gas to escape.

Yup, I guess its enough for a 2ltr 4 cylinder. But not really for a 3ltr V6. Should hold 8psi on gate now without creeping!

And if you double the diameter of a pipe/hole you almost quadruple the flow so you should be all good now.

Re: The long road to V6 turbo AW11
Yup, she doesn't hit boost cut now. Not sure what the boost is, as my gauge is waiting for a new sensor. I assume around 8-10? And my boost controller is blowing fuses so I need to figure that out so I can have high boost. But its great finally being able to rev it out!! I can tell when we hit high torque because the wheels spin 1st and 2nd in the dry at high RPM. Then it hits limiter and backfires!
Man its scary but awesome!!
Bring on high boost!!

Re: The long road to V6 turbo AW11
Yay WOF!!
Also think I need a new battery. And my clutch adjusted, it must have settled in nicely now. Plus definitely some new and fatter rubber!!
Next club run, for sure
Booo blown CV boot!! Too much power!
So looks like I won't be taking this one out for the club run Sunday Also think I need a new battery. And my clutch adjusted, it must have settled in nicely now. Plus definitely some new and fatter rubber!!

Fatter rubber? 205?!! Yeah I think so! But how wide can you go on a AW11 without messing with the body?

Re: The long road to V6 turbo AW11
205 now. Guards are already rolled. And with the adjustable suspension I think I can get 245 rear and maybe 225 front.

Re: The long road to V6 turbo AW11
I ran 245/35R16 for a while, with rolled guards they rubbed a little I think there was a bit of clearance between the tyre and strut, so might've just squeezed in with a larger wheel offset. They weren't very good tyres though (Pirelli P7000 I think), I replaced them with 225 T1Rs and found they had much better grip.

I actually since did some research since and my limiting factor is the rims. Apparently 245 will be a bit big and probably alter the tyre profile. Creating less road contact (probably the same thing you mentioned?) 235 I can't get in the tyres I want and 225 is perfect. So I guess it will be 225 rear and I'll stick with 205 front now.

Re: The long road to V6 turbo AW11
So I wonder if I've found the weak link of my build....
Plus I've had a CV boot spit grease every time I've been on the dyno. And now this one that split. Perhaps from heat? Not sure.
But I guess I'll just rebuild it see *crosses fingers and toes....
A few heat spots I feel aren't right. And I've never seen before. Plus I've had a CV boot spit grease every time I've been on the dyno. And now this one that split. Perhaps from heat? Not sure.

Re: The long road to V6 turbo AW11
Is that cracked cage? I suspect the heat colour is actually from the induction heat treatment to harden the splines and not due to anything in your setup.
Like so.
Like so.

Re: The long road to V6 turbo AW11
I didn't see a cracked cage. But will check again.
The heat marks are only on one side of both CVs. The one that went and lost all the grease. The other had plenty of grease. I've never seen heat marks like that before?
I'm sure people have higher hp builds on standard axles. Just thought it was weird. Perhaps coincidence?
Anyway, chucking a new boot on, rebuilding and seeing how it goes from there.

Re: The long road to V6 turbo AW11
Maybe it was just a line in the grease that looks like a crack. Ignore me!

Re: The long road to V6 turbo AW11
You might also just need some higher temp grease to sort it out. The standard Toyota grease wouldn't have been formulated for the loads you're pushing through the CV's
