Stronger and will hold higher boost without EBC

Garrett -5 ones crack off the seat at 15.5psi so obviously that's the minimum boost pressure before adjusting anything what's the crack pressure for the HKS items?

I assumed it would be the same.?

Looks like I'm wrong then *shrug*

Don't be so modest.

The garrets sometimes come with 9 psi actuators so that is why there might be some confusion. But everyone knows to get 1 bar actuators

  • Like 2

Also the garret turbos have plastic bearing cages and the hks ones have metal ones

not any more -5 use ceramic ball bearings with metal cage identical to gtx series but you already knew that.

If you speak to garrett they will even recomend the hks over their heavy duty actuators, coming from ross at qld garrett, the garrett actuator pressure is a guide only as they can start to open at as little as 8psi. Food for thought glws

my ones just lift off the seat at 15.5 as I check them the other day

In all honesty we'd know more about these turbos than the turbo distributors they literally receive a box then hand you the box and they had no idea about something on my waste gate actuator until I pointed it out to them 2 days ago so just because they sell them it doesn't make them experts

Really? You know more about garrett turbos than every garrett representative in aus! Sounds like you may have come across 1 or 2 that were vague. Its just some knowledge i came across and was worth sharing to help aid seller. I respect your wisdom in fact i would be interested in knowing how much boost you run and for how too just for shits and giggles if your ok with that. Would be much appreciated

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
