Selling man really? wait I think i've seen this for sale a couple of times over the years

can someone please explain the location of the AFM in that R31? It's doing my head in

Need trap speed to confirm a result like that

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

Yep that's right. $104 each is cheap too

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

-9 alternative at half the price of Garrett items

r34 hypergear highflow would be a good option

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

SR22VET - awesome. What cams will you be running?

Agreed. I had 100% duty cycle at 250ish kw

many of us have been in this situation before

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

ARP headstuds are never a bad idea but probably not needed for your goals no need to remove the head to change them out though

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

awesome. and apparently they've added flex fuel to a few models too

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

also curious

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

I wanted ETM but apparently they're not in business anymore

yup they will fit. measure resistance and come back to me
