any tips on adjusting preload on actuator?

I usually run around 5mm of preload, or slightly over half the width of the hole. Depending on the spring it will take a bit of effort to pull the actuator back over the wastegate pin. The more preload the less the wastegate will travel, so you may need to dial it back a little if the boost is rising higher up in the revs. (unless that's the boost curve you are going for.)

Don't lose the circlip. ;)

found this video from Tao, great music choice :thumbsup:

will run approx 3-4mm as advised by Tao. if i adjust actuator, will it affect the tune ?

my turbo 21u hiflow is getting fullboost by 4500~ which is very laggy.

me and toshi tested with no airbox cover on and it help response dramatically but no where near the 35-3700rpm it should be getting fullboost by.

current mods

480cc

21U hiflow

3" turboback jasma apexi superdunk

2,5" cooler

high pressure hypergear actuator @ 19-20psi

unopened rb25det s2 r33

Toshi suggested to run pod with EBC and it will help around 4000rpm but i want the 3500-3700 response that the 21U is supposed to make lol

didnt get change to run on dyno or complete 3rd and 4th gear runs as clutch slipped over 5000

If car is sitting on 1st gear then do expect 20psi over 5000RPM, I would advise of a clutch change and have the car fully tuned before trouble shooting take places, then preload the actuator through actuator bracket if needs to be.

Dude are you elvis? you bought my old turbo?

I had the 20 psi actuator installed with about 1-2mm negative preload on the actuator to bring boost down to about 17psi when i switched to 98. That killed response

Fit the black kinugawa actuator I gave you with about 5mm preload and you will get full boost around 3400rpm in 4th with max boost around 14-15 psi

yeap

i don't get 17psi, i hit 19-20 lol

perhaps my mechanic may of moved actuator slightly as he installed a circlip to replace your wire you used.

Will do, Cheers Tim!

tao, can you confirm? shouldn't the high pressure actuator have same repsonse>?

Well, If Blackkers is getting good response using the same turbo then you should too. Just make sure the internal gate is shut and preloaded. and yes 20psi is lovely, baby it till it gets tuned, it should be all good :yes: .

I usually slot the actuator bracket fitting holes, and that makes the actuator pre-loadable. Usually seeing around 15psi of boost once that is done.

Some updates. This is result of a OP6 high flow that I've done for Unique Auto Sports in NSWs.

R33 GTST stock engine with usual bolton supporting mods, PFC, pump 98 fuel. Final result of 278rwkws @ 18psi:

And a prototype turbo for Jet_R31. its the biggest possible turbo that we can make that fits into a T3x turbine housing. Hopping to see 600rwkws on his built RB30ET engine.

    • If you are fine with China turbos, Maxpeedingrods makes a bolt on turbo. Ive had mine for two summers now and it seems to be holding up ok. 
    • Howdy all Im in a little predicament and wondering what everyone’s thoughts are? I’ve had my long block rebuilt and am in the market for a turbo due to my old one having metal shavings from crank bearings (cause of rebuild) go throughout the turbos oil lines and there wheel has a little play. I’m not really aiming for any power, just trying to keep it as oem as possible, but I can’t find a turbo that’s built for the stock ecu or find something that would be a standard replacement. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions 
    • How's everyone going? Just a shout-out introducing myself. I'm James, I live on the north side of Brisbane. I bought an R33 that had been left to rot in someone's front yard for 14 years. Apparently, it has immobiliser/fuel issues. Long story short, it's suffering from a seized engine, plus whatever else turns up once it runs. The car is pretty good considering it sat for so long. It pretty much died after being imported. It has a bunch of Jap parts and a full Top Secret body kit. It's painted Fiat Turchese Festival, or aqua blue if you're not French. Another project to throw money at!
    • So the clockspring is responsible for the indicators cancelling on their own? I thought that was the function of that white thing in the center (any idea what it's called?)
    • Can you log IAT? Whilst WTA coolers have their place, doing any sort of sustained run is not one of them There are fixes that slow down the heat soak, like ice boxes, which don't last that long, and interchillers, which are fairly expensive, up grades to the WTA cooling radiator, which may require a bigger pump, and upgrades to the reservoir size,  and upgrades to the cooling fans, but, it all still heat soaks, and takes ages to come down in hot weather  For a turbo, that isn't locked into WTA like my PD blower is, can you not possibly swap to a nice air to air intercooler????, it would be better for sustained runs then, and have alot less things that could go wrong in my opinion
