Might be a question for the "forced induction" but thought id ask here first in case anyone knows, with the new hi-flow turbo im about to put on it doesnt come with a wastegate actuator so can i use original stock one or do i need to upgrade the actuator ? im looking at only runnin 1 bar if that makes a difference.

Cheers

Lee

Is it a standard turbo that's been hi-flowed, or a completely new turbo? If it's a hi-flow, it *should* already have a wastegate on it (assuming it's a Skyline/Stagea turbo that's been used to do the hi-flow).

Not sure if you can use the standard one, though - sorry, can't help you there.

I dont think you know what a wastegate actually is :O

Thanks, dude...

Meh, just realised the error of what I was saying (and no need to check howstuffworks.com).

I was actually thinking of the actuator - stupid me... :laugh:

CORRECT INFORMATION: So obviously it's not a Skyline/Stagea turbo, so you will need to add one - can't use the factory one because it's part of the turbo and can't exactly be removed.

You'd be surprised with high flow turbos... I've seen the stock wastegate actuator leak boost at high RPM because it was going way over it's operating efficiency (?!?)

If you are looking to get a actuator for the Nissan turbos; go the HKS Adjustable Actuator. Not very expensive and definitely worth your money over a stock item.

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.

      Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
