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

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.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
