R32 Gts-t Actuator On R34 Gt-t Standard Turbos

[Skyline1989]

Hi guys,

This may have been covered numerous times, but i remember reading it in a HPI magazine some time ago.

Please, don't give me grief, just answer the question.

So i'm thinking of putting a RB20det standard actuator on R34 Rb25det standard turbo on my R34.

Will this hold 10psi flat without spiking and how would i go about the boost solenoid? remover lines, straight bleed?

Thanks

the R32 actuator is rated at 12psi

so the minimum you can run, is, 12psi

it should be fine and is a good upgrade

no need for a boost controller or bleed valve etc

just actuator and away you go

[Skyline1989]

will it have any affects to the standard boost solenoid? because its R34?

will it affect ecu?

i'm still learning, but this seems like a worthwhile investment

[gotRICE?]

Great investment.

Just unplug, and remove the standard solenod, run a single vac line from the intercooler pipe to the actuator, and plug the other line up.

yes it will work. and it will be more reliable than a boost controller as well

[Skyline1989]

Anyone else wanna have their input?

If you want proper electronic boost control, the cheapest option is try the Gizzmo MS-IBC, overkill for what you want though it's pretty good for $300 (sometimes I see it down to $250)

[gotRICE?]

What other input do you need?

It wont effect anything, it will just work and be good. No need to wire up boost controllers etc and set them up.

It is pretty much the limit boost wise you'd want to run anyway, without having to upgrade the ECU/AFM.

THIS was the very first mod i did on my RB25.

Holds boost at 10psi from around 3000rpm all the way to the redline.

10PSI . rock solid, not 12, not 10.1, not 9.9. 10psi.

as for the 2 stage boost solenoid.

cut the ground wire, strip 10mm off and ground it by screwing it under the solenoid mounting nut, done.

drop the bonnet and go for a quick drive.

make sure you put back any and all hoses that you undo. (you do not want to boost 2bar)

oh yea, for the r32 actuator vacuum hose, you're going to need something about 100mm longer.

less than $5.00 from any performance shop.

you'll love yourself for doing this mod, your tyres and petrol tank won't

have fun out there.

what mods do you have? fmic, full exhaust?

a lot of people report a slight boost increase (2-3psi) when fitting a free flowing exhaust and a front mount, without touching their actuator or installing a boost controller of any sort.

from memory my last dyno run with stock actuator/smic/dump i hit about 9psi

interested in how accurate the 32 actuator really is.

[Skyline1989]

i have FMIC, trust cat back and hks pod.

i also have Power FC but it's not in yet because it's like $650 to tune.

I think, boost is creeping slightly atm 8-9 psi... but i thought it may have something to do with the .8 gap spark plugs...

But quite possible due to the upgrades.

I use my car a fair bit for drifting... and the power bug has really hit me

I'm hoping to whack the rb20 actuator on, run 12psi and make around 200rwkws (hopefully this will be enough to keep me slide happy)

I will keep you posted, but atleast i now know i need to ground the boost solenoid wire.

Couldn't i just rip the whole boost solenoid out and run a direct line from actuator to intercooler pipe?

Cheers guys
