yeh im stinging to see what she makes?

does anyone no what boost the 2860r make on the actuator setting they come with?as im not running any sort of controller/

I've heard the wastegate spring is adjustable, and that the factory setting is 1 bar.

That's second hand info, so treat it as such.

It depends a bit on the exhaust system but if you have a free flowing system with high flow(or no cat)cat you should see ~0.9 to 1 bar boost off the actuators, and a reduced boost level if the exhaust is restrictive at all.

i have justjap dumps whick look to be nice and free flowing,2.5inch in to 3inch stainless dumps,stock gtr cat and 31/4inch titanium cat back. i want to run about 22psi so how should i adjjust them? or should i run a bleed valve

the std cat is going to have a dramatic effect on the system and why do you think you need 22 psi the extra boost doesn't always gain big results the -5 i have found on the rb26 seem to hit a sweet spot around 18 psi and the after 20psi the gains for boost increase fade, so for the extra stress your putting on the engine and turbos it's offen not worth it. 18psi quiet offen can see a healthly well sorted rb26 pass 510rwhp+ but if your looking for figures inexcess of 530-540 your should most likely be looking for a different combo and you'll have to sacifice responce to do so.

As for controlling 22psi you WILL have to buy a electronic controller to get the consistent control required or you will suffer the swings in boost pressure from different temperature conditions which at that level could be dangerous at 18psi a swing of 1 or 2psi isn't to scary but 22 plus 2 or 3psi and your getting very close the design limit of the centre cariridge of 2 bar.

I'll 2nd Seans call on a MetalCat. I bought my GTR with a straight pipe in place of the cat & when I swapped it out for a 4" MetalCat flanged back to 3" to match the exh there was basically no noticeable difference in performance whatsoever.

BTW didn't you lose your licence awhile back?? Might explain why you're in no real rush to throw everything at the car ;)

Man, i there with you. Mines been off the road for.. *gulp* 12 months. Have a mass of power steering lines to re-route, 12v feeds to run through the cabin, engine oil cooler to finish lining up... all waiting till i can get my tahbin and m.fold - i LONG for the sound of the RB again

It can often be hard to get under the gurl in the ever colder nations capital, to be covered in PS fluid.

At the moment im on a raising rate dose of HiOctane / JDM vids, plus 80's Rally docos' and rides in mates fast rides

Almost there, have faith man

    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
