hey guys, i just bought an r33 turbo the other day to go on my r32. i'm still psyching up to do this

thing is they say to use the r32 actuator bcs it is set at 10 pounds. no worries.

i have read and searched and everyone just says to "just swap over the actuators (between turbos)" no one actually details how to do that for us backyard mechanics...they just say "it's easy" ....not even in that projectr32 website.

ive tried fiddling with my r33 turbo and can't figure out whether the actutor and rod should like pull out from the wastegate end....so that u transfer actuator and rod.

or whether the rod pulls out from the actuator so u just transfer the actutors and not rods...

anyone able to go into detail of how these disconnect cos i dun wanna break/bend something accidentally that needs to be fairly acturate and sensitive

thanks a billion

actuators that i've played around with have 2 bolts holding it onto the compressor side. u take them off.

then at the end of the arm there is a circlip holding it onto the flappers arm, you take it off with a flathead screwdriver / similar

thats it

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
