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.

    • It's more like on average the things I see a lot of things going wrong. Yes, usually the people who reach out are the ones who are having problems but on average it feels like mechanics and tuners here aren't really competent. I swing between thinking my standards are just way too high and wondering whether people really are just this dumb. I just had the strangest 10+ reply argument on a Facebook group over someone insisting that the factory R34 GTT boost control solenoid reduces boost pressure to 5 psi when it's on and raises boost pressure to 7 psi when it's off despite showing the exact plumbing in the factory service manual and the solenoid behavior detailed in the FSM.
    • I steam cleaned my near new set of volk gtc wheels 14 years ago and farrkkked them lol. The clear coat cracked like spider webbing in several areas. Lesson learnt don't do that. ๐Ÿ˜ญ
    • If you don't touch the CAS, then you're fine.
    • Yeah, my moulds and seals are 32 years old now. I think I will continue to not use a pressure washer on it.
    • I hear the old "I'd never use a pressure washer on my motorbike" BS in the dirtbike community too.ย  The only people that have had a problem from using a pressure washer on anything are the people that aren't using them properly.ย  If you hold the wand any more than 45 cms away from pretty muchย anything (radiators, wiring connectors, paint, etc) you aren't going to cause any damage.ย  We've had detailers wreck moulds and seals on cars at work before and the only reason why is they held the pressure washer too close and on the one spot for too long.ย  If you have 5% more brain power than a detailer then you know not to not do that and you'll never have a problem.
