However if it was backpressure maybe its felt on the turbine slowing its spool up and forcing the air out the wastegate (doubt it due to power figures I am making). Anyway I have been playing around with the dual port wastegate and may be able to plumb it up using all three connections on the solenoid instead of one venting to atmo. Or failing that will try a rediculously heavy spring. If I hold the gate shut with a screwdriver it ramps up nicely so tend to rule out backpressure. Anyway it will be sorted this week I will keep people posted. I wont stop until it is.

Just purchased a Holden frontera. looking for dash mat, side wind covers, rear storage mat. Motortraders have them all. From $30 for wind covers up to $90 for rear mat.

No its for some accessories for my other car.

Do or can we or does anyone know if we can get discounts at Motor Traders?

Thanks joel I think you answered my question as above. However I believe this is how the origonal actuator broke from being wound up so tight. The mechanic involved has had a falling out at my workshop and I cant confirm this

I know you must be sick of repeating yourself however if I lengthen the rod anymore the wastegate opens and becomes loose. To shorten the rod it pulls the wastegate harder aginat the seal. I canot lenghen it anymore (increase the preload) or the wategate is lifted off its seat. Or am I confused.

I can make the car produce 286rwkw however I need to drive the boost controller about 5psi higher than actually achieved plus it drops from 20psi down to 15psi in high revs. I cant help but realise the potential if I can stop the wastegate progresively opening and hold boost at the top end. Also I tried holding the actuator shut with a screw driver and it ramps up nicely.

So are you saying the turbine is not spooling as well as it should and the gasses are pushing there way out the wastegate. However if it is backpressure against the wategate that would help stop it opening. I have 3inch all the way and no cat. It has been considred however a large expense to find out its not the problem. Have you seen or experienced the same problems and this has fixed them?

Just reading back through some old threads to see if I can sort my problem. I have a 2835pro internal gated turbo. it has a very large well pivoted (42mm) wastegate. It wants to start opening very early before 5000rpm. Had a standard actuator on it 7psi which broke for reasons I wont go into here. Tried a 14psi actuator with no controller made 8psi at best. Tried a dual solenoid actuator so setup like an external gate. Once again 10psi. With all these actuators you can see the actuator starting to open early. Tapped a boost guage into the exhaust housing and when the actuator is working on spring pressure alone it reads 10psi in the actuator and 10 psi at the plenum. Havent quiet got my head around this concept yet. Anyway there seems to be that much pressure inside the exhaust housing that I will need a huge spring to hold it shut. This has been sujested that I go for a 20-30psi spring to get 14psi. Sounds like backyard theory to me. Anyway any theories or ideas appreciated. I can get higher boost through the boost controller however it is working like a one arm ass kicker to hold boost.

Its the one bar actuator that comes witht the turbo.

My main issue is that boost drops off in the high rev range. How would this sytem help with that? Using a PFC controller.

Any more developments here. I am considering an eboost. Still recommend it?

Hi Enricco I would be interested in having a go at this little gizmo if you would let me, as I do have idling problems. However would like to test first before buying as I am in Adelaide its possible. Do you have no use for it anymore? Anyway let me know what you think. My car is having the problem looked at now however as it has a big atmo BOV this may be needed. Thanks

Are you guys using internal wastegates with 1 bar springs. If so where did you get them from? Thanks

Let me know if anyone wants to sell one of these.

Maybe I am thinking wrongly that if the rod is shorter it is preloaded making more effort to open when by lengthening it may give me the results. I will try.

So I can assume the least boost you can make would be 10psi indicating mine may be faulty. How do you like the e boost?

I have a HKS actuator that came with my 2835ProS turbo which I am led to believe is a 1bar actuator. Never tested this theory and have been running this setup for a while until the actuator bar broke. Fixed it and the car still makes its power however boost does not seem to be coming on as hard or holding as well. I ran the actuator only and maxes out at 7psi not 14psi as rated. Tension is all good. I am interested what anyone else with a 1bar actuator is getting or any theories on what may be wrong (possibly internal to the actuator)? Seeing mechanic tuesday. Thanks

How you going mate. See lots have been sold. How much will the motor go for. Anyway looking for a bonnet. Has it been painted yet? How much do you want? Might not be worth it as I need to get it to Adelaide. Mick has been kicked out of Tilbrooks. Tim is now tuning there part time. Just got mine back from him made 287rwkw first tune in the cooler weather. So you are after a GTR eh. Gulf cash will go a long way. later Greg

Ordered a turbo from Greenline. Customs in Adelaide held it requiring a proof of cost receipt. Greenline was more than obliging to re-write the one I lost at a price we thought I had paid for it. The basic rule at customs at the time was that anything over $1000 needs a customs broker. I found one that charged $80 to do the job. He works out what it costs. He looked up his book and put turbos under centrifugal pumps etc basically 4% (lucky). Add this to the price on the receipt and then 10% GST. I got away with it for a bit over $200. Thats the process. To be able to just go into customs and pay a fee after showing a receipt it needs to be under $1000. They didnt even open the box for my turbo. The best idea would be to have a reasonable price marked on the box that wont raise suspician. I didnt. As a rule of thumb if anything attracting customs duty of less than $50 is not worth the paperwork for them.

If anyone here has an interface they would like to get rid off let me know. For R33 GTS-T N012 PFC. I can get the software. Thanks

So you guys have paid the US $370 and whatever that works out to be in Australian for your Datalogic setup?

Does it have a remote filter setup

With TV that would be two cartons of beer. However it has gone.

Hi all. I have a 5 piece wall unit that I need to move for renovations and then wont be needed. Give away. A small donation of one carton of beer would be nice. Can help move it to new place (would be thirsty work) if needed. Not shown in photo is a unit that sits over a gas heater. All in excellent condition a couple of draw bottoms need new nails.
