R32 Wastegate Actuator 10Psi R33 Mod Diy

[R6n350GT]

Im wanting to write a DIY for installing the R32 in a R33 mod

Im having trouble seeing how i am supposed to mount this ..

Bracket is completely different

Also where exactly does the pipe go from the actuator since the boost solenoid will no longer be used ? what happens with the plumbing of the boost solenoid ?

Thanks Guys, it will be a good reference for others.

I have no idea what that bottom actuator is but it isn't an r32 or r33 gtst actuator. Did you buy it off someonethat said it was?

This is an R32 actuator, sorry the pictures small i cant find the original size.

Notice the bracket is virtually identical, the only difference is the vac nipple on it is straight, instead of 90' like the one your one.

With the vac setup, just take one line from the intercooler piping to the actuator, and unplug (end remove) the solenoid.

The bottom one looks like a GTR actuator to me, so it could be from an R32....just not a 32 GTST....

[ahhbee]

yea thats a gtr actuator, the "r32 actuator" as you put it is the one in gotRICE?'s picture. they bolt straight up, ive got one on my r34

[R6n350GT]

Yes it has been confirmed its a R32 GTR one... at least for future people will know to specifically get a GTST one... So i will be looking for a GTST one (anyone got one ??) and then take a picture of where it is for people and the set up of the lines..

Anyone know what length and size of tubing is required ?

Worst DIY ever

Hope you get it sorted.

I will do it good once i have it running right

So far

but it bogs down at 8+ psi to 10 and feels like misfiring (plugs gaped at 0.8mm)

I then connect the solenoid like stock and it gets max 8 but no problems ... ?

hey man check and tape your coil packs. did you disconnect you solenoid altogether when you install the rb20 act? i have the direct earth mod on my solenoid and im wondering how to set the solenoid up when i install the rb20 act later this week...

[gotRICE?]

Just pull it out completely and toss it out

Just pull it out completely and toss it out

AND IT WORKS?!!! wouldn't i have to complete some sort of circuit for the car to think it is still there?

[gotRICE?]

Nope.

so.....anyone get around to actually doing a DIY? Im keen on doing this but would like an idea about whats required

Another option would be a kinugawa adjustable wastegate actuator. I had to make a new right angle bracket out of some thick steel plate, but the pay off is an actuator which has a variety of spring tensions available, adjustable preload and a longer actuation throw than the stock actuator.
