Can you confirm a couple of things...

When you pressure test the system, u remove the afm and put in ur test fitting. That means ur intake pipe is in the pressure system, yet has non pressure areas being compressed. Ie your bov pipe and presumably the breather hoses that go from the ex rocker to the intake pipe, yes?

To rule that out please do the test on the system post turbo instead of pre, and make sure ur motor is on TDC. Then work ur way thru to see where its leaking, work forwards... So from there go to ur cooler entry, cooler exit, crossover pipe, throttle body. Work forward until u track how far the leak is into the system.

Ur breather shouldn't need ur finger put over the gromit, that means ur pressurizing ur sump... Obviously from the ex rocker breather via the intake. Otherwise ur PVC is ficked too. Test this before anything else.. Then test the guys infinite boost (blocked actuator) theory and see if it can actually make that boost up high when it cant possibly bleed it off.. If it can do it then u know the issue is boost control (actuator/wastegate arrangement).

Report back and well all help from there.

Yes that's how I've always done it, it did blow my intake pipe off once, took 2 hours to get it all back on and ready to test again. My bov does have a tiny little leak on the outlet side between the bov and the pipe adapter, not a problem during running. I no longer have the pipe that goes to the intake pipe from the tappet cover, that's the pipe I put my finger in. You can see it in the photos.

it will make over 20psi at 6500rpm, hard to hold it steady there without going stupidly fast. so i crept up to 6500rpm at between 15 and 20 psi then i put my foot down a bit quicker to see if it would make 25. not sure if this is a deffinative answer but makes me feel better. so new actuator and new tune and my car should be fine, hopefully the heat soak issue will be resolved with the tune. thanks everyone.

whats running to your p/s pump if your using that as a boost source?

is the p/s side blocked off?

did you use new hose for your boost to wastegate feed? one of the factory lines has restrictors in it

DVS can you pm me a prIce on a retune please.

Thought i did buddy, ill send u another one.

Let me know how u go with the new actuator, more preload, and put the boost source for the actuator in the cooler pipe just out of the turbo.

How long ago in that HG thread did I say it was the actuator lol.

This IS a definitive answer. Your car made more boost at points it never could when you eliminated the actuator from the equation. Done and done. Get that new bitch on her and enjoy.

Sarge. I did believe you but I didn't have a safe way to test it, that's where my wife comes in handy.

There isn't any boost feed going to the ps pump, I used new vacuum line to the turbo.

Yer I deleted it by accident and couldn't remember what you said.

That's the vacuum valve on a neo rb25. That's what I took the line off, il trace the other line and see if it's causing a leak.

I thought the Hypergear turbos had a nipple on the outlet of the turbo already for that purpose...

If not, do as Jez has said and put a brand new nipple on the intercooler pipe, nice and close to the turbo.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Duh... to answer my own silly question, it's actually described in the FSM... ...400 pages away at the end of the manual, for RB25DE/DET signal descriptions, it cites the TPSwitch signal action, is dependent on the TPSensor value ~ this tends to infer the builtin POT voltage signal is the primary, and the switches are fallback/secondary should the POT fail/TPSensor signal lost (and switch alone with no TPSensor signal allows for base idle speed setting).... makes sense... they (TPS units) used to fail/wear the POT with time, they're not exactly built to last ~ having the switch as a redundancy gets around this...(or, it's less likely both signals would be lost as they're on different power rails)... and of course wrt RB26DETT, you have to electrically disconnect the IACV solenoid from the harness, to defeat idle air control...

      Dose is unaware just how much fun 145-150kw would be in a 2.5L NC MX5. It would be one of the most fun things to drive to ever grace SAU.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Same thought crossed my mind ~ depends on how one connotes 'stalling'...ie; gets a rough/stumbling idle as it get warm until it stalls... or... idles ok and simply falls-over when it gets to temp... ...you can test the whole circuit with a couple of resistors ...unplug coolant temp sensor, bridge terminals with a 2K7 resistor (ECU will do cold start), or with engine warm bridge with a 330R resistor (ECU will consider engine to be at normal operating temp)...it's a quick way to check wiring integrity/ECU response when you don't have a multimeter handy ...

      Just be warned that that turbo will not be a direct re-fit to the car. The exhaust housing is, of course, in the same place. It has to be - it's bolted to the exhaust manifold. So the dump will fit up. But the centre housing is not as long, so the comp housing will move backwards. This will affect both the turbo inlet and the outlet. There is fab work that needs to be done. Yes. it has one, it should have one. Paper gasket.
