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

    • Everyone is too used to learning from places like HPA "how to tune" and what to expect at what point, rather than being able to see "The computer says I'm in cell with Row = 8, column =4, and I can see my fuel is lean, so lets add more" Everyone wants "real units", which helps for someone picking it up for the first time and seeing how bad the tune is if they're not used to touching it.   However, I think for most of us who want to play with it, you're 100% right, we're only needing to learn about it for OUR CAR. Which makes it great, and we don't need to care what the real values are, we just need to know which cell it is, that's causing the lean or rich point, or that we want more ignition timing or less. But again, everyone wants everything super you beaut and nearly self tuning, with VE maps, and a billion compensations...   Though then there's me over here when I'm doing reverse engineering work just reading data in hex format that most people couldn't work anything out from. Yet I can see what's going on.
    • Um. No. Since Matt introduced the TIM it has become a lot easier to deal with the consequences of changing K for AFM and injector swaps. Then, tuning is a f**king doddle. No-one needs to know or care how many grams of air are flowing or any other bullshit. Need more fuel in a cell? Add more fuel. Need more timing in a cell. Add more timing. Need to adjust any of the other tables for warm up and so on? No harder than anything else. Sure - it's not an ECU system for starting from scratch on an arbitrary engine. But then.....it was never supposed to be, not recommended for, and almost never used that way. So.... On your engine, in particular, Nistune/Nissan OEM is about as sophisticated and difficult as banging 2 rocks together. Those ECUs are primitive and simple. There is nothing difficult there. I learnt Nistune from scratch, created new maps with extended axes, interpolated/extrapolated the original maps onto them and tuned my RB20 (basically the same ECU as your 26 ECU) all by myself, more than 20 years ago. And that was long before even TIM.
