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.

      Yeah I heard the same. Might be hard to order one. But then I guess can go to hks or go to a more expensive n1 block with tomei. Guess will jump the hurdle once I get there next upgrade around. I can’t get work done in the states as the lead time will take for ever on top of shipping to Hong Kong.

      https://www.platinumracingproducts.com/en-us/products/nissan-rb26-cast-blocks This is the solution I was thinking of. I would stay away from Tomei USA, their quality is a question mark to me. If you want an engine machined in the US contact Club DSPORT: https://clubdsport.com/ Tomei JP is probably fine but I recall they stopped doing pre-assembled short or long blocks. In general it's pretty tough to get any kind of RB26 block at the moment with Nissan so severely backordered.

      PAR specifically offers stock ratios in their gearset and you could do whatever ratios are physically possible supposedly for no extra cost. I agree 6 ratios is better than 5, the factory 2nd gear is equivalent to the Getrag 2nd gear if you account for the differing final drive ratio though. The Getrag 3rd gear with a 3.916 final drive is equivalent to a 1.6 2nd gear in the FS5R30A. I'm about to swap the transmission out on my car, I'm tempted to send the one I have now out for rebuild with the standard "cross ratio" gearsets out there to see if it really makes such a big difference the next time I pull the transmission.

      This is what I was looking at next:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/engines/tomei/tomei-rb26-28l-short-block-assemblies-p-45479.html as we can’t bore the cylinders out in hk so better just buy the whole lot in one and install then retune. Everyone saying the weak link are the bolts holding the rods together. I already did valve springs, arp head bolts, hks racing coils, nismo fuel pumps and pressure regulators, injectors etc for the top of the engine.
