Hello

I am putting a RB25 turbo on to my RB20 engine. The Rb25 turbo has a HKS acuator on it. Does any know what this does for the turbo? I have read that I should put my RB 20 one on to the RB25 turbo, but should I keep the HKS one on their when I put it on to my engine?

Help please Thanks

mmmm...this could very well be a 14psi actuator...as most hks actuators are....what amount of boost do you plan on running and what modifications other then the turbo do you have to support these???

i will tell you now with an actuator set at 14psi you wont get any spiking or weird boost creep...it will be smooth and throughout your rev range.

And very dangerous to the lifespan of the turbo. Stock rb25 turbos are renown for blowing at more than 12 psi.

ran my rb25 turbo on 15psi daily.. never blew up and no shaft play :laugh: made 206kw

hks actuators are a very good application for an internal gate turbo, just adjust it down to around 11 to 13psi with a good tune.

got the same setup on our silvia, rb20... 25 turbo and hks actuator

just adjust the actuator to what reads about 14-15psi and no need for boost controller :ermm:

I am putting this, downpipe, split front pipe, hi flow cat, onto the car. I was planning on buying a boost controller. So far , everyone says put the RB20 actuator onto the RB25 turbo.

If its going to shorten the life of the turbo I will take it off.

Keep or take off?

      Turn signal wiring question

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I started with the above in my head too, and I might be reading / thinking about what they want wrong, which is why I complicated it a bit further. Purpose I'm seeing is for the corner indicator to be on with headlights, and then if the indicator turns on it can still flash. The relay part above I can see working as required, except in the case of headlight is on, and indicator is on. The change over relay you've wired in would get signal from the indicator, and as it flashes would give power to the globe from the indicator, but as it flashes off, power comes from the headlight, which would cause the indicator to be constantly on when headlight is on, even while indicator change over is flashing. That is unless we don't care if it flashes or not if the headlight is on? I guess that's an OP clarification.

      Speedo and odometer reading super slow r34gtt a/t

      By VicFlo · Posted

      HI, Ive got an r34 gtt sedan A/T. The instrument cluster went out and I replaced it with another A/T everything visually looks the same and all the gauges work now with the exception of the speedometer and odometer. The speedo will stay pinned at zero until I'm going about 55kmh and then it'll say Im going about 5kmh. my odometer seems to be tracking at about a 1/10 of what it should. If I go 1km it'll say I've only gone 0.01. Appreciate any and all help. Ive tried searching through the forums reddit and a local fb group. The only info I think I've found is that some cars didnt come equipped with TCS (mind is) and the clusters may be different between those? I've also installed a brand new VSS and no joy obviously. TIA.

      Certainly. It is probably broken under the wire style clamp. At least that one is easier to get at than the front one.   Sounds like it isn't a major leak, I'd start with backing off the the water feed and return banjos into the turbos half a turn then tightening properly. Hardlines can still crack over time, either in the tube (particularly when turbos are changed if the banjo is siezed in the the tube) or at the brazed joins between the lines and the banjo fittings. A coolant system pressure test will reveal all. BTW you'd be able to get a sump without exchange, it will just cost more as they will have to source another stock one for the next customer. If you want to address the sump a much better option is something like this https://www.hioctanedirect.com/hi-octane-racing-sump-extension-nissan-rb26 that you weld in locally (and add the oil return fittings at the same time)

      Pretty sure you are thinking of the throwout bearing there (which you should change when you change your clutch), when they are worn they will get quieter if you put your foot on the clutch. An input shaft bearing is turning/noisy at all times.
