it's a VE map so do you have a MAP sensor installed? There's an onboard MAP sensor that you can run a vac line to
edit: also don't forget to tune the injector latency
with 272 cams and a 6466 on a 2.6L i'd be surprised if it comes on before 5k RPM but I have nothing really to base that on. Hopefully someone can weigh in.
edit: it would be and absolute weapon on boost though
Okay rb26 is different.
Forget the turbosmart model you listed.
You can buy Garrett adjustable actuators from GCG with 1 bar base setting. They are pretty affordable.
Don't bother buying HKS they aren't any better than the Garrett but cost more
Well it depends on what car you have but assuming rb20/25 yes it will work. You need a bracket for it to fit though.
The kinugawa option comes with a bracket but the actuator is pretty shitty
No one has ever killed a turbo with oil starvation at first start up. If that actually happened it would have been a DOA turbo anyway.
When you do an oil change and fit a dry filter the whole engine runs with no oil pressure for 4-6 seconds
suspension will also help keep it in a straight line. Too much oversteer? go a bit harder on the front shocks.
My R32 responds really well to minor changes
While it's idling you can spray some throttle body cleaner or degreaser or wd40 on the suspect areas and listen to the idle.
It just helps to rule out things like gaskets which are hard to visually diagnose
nistune is fine if you use a Z32 or R32 ecu and is probably cheaper than a PFC if you're looking 2nd hand
beware with the R32 ECU you will need an external switch for VCT as the R32 RB20det and RB25de didn't have VCT
I ran that turbo on the standard ecu until I had it tuned. It ran like shit on 10psi with an r32 actuator so I fitted the standard actuator and it was fine. Not great to drive though
Fair enough. Gate spring don't go lower than 15ish psi as you generally want stiffer and closer to your boost target for better boost control. Only downside is you can't go lower
hard to say. with the .63 rear you will have to run more boost to make those numbers.
maybe I'm wrong but 19-20 psi on petrol should ballpark in the 280kw region. If that's what you want to achieve
