Good to hear cant wait to see the results.

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

Get yourself a Trust/GReddy Profec B 2 EBC ($390 delivered) from Slide.

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.

thats the info i was after,so 18psi should see the 320awkw im after or maybe bit less wouldnt matter?

profec b sounds to be ok so i might look into them.. thanks again all

[gun32gtr]

also what the best cat ya recommend?

[steveo_r33]

hows ya car kane

[GTRsean]

also what the best cat ya recommend?

Go a barrel cat converter like mine, basically a metal cat.

No big restrictions with that bloody thing!!

[gun32gtr]

steve,cars coming along slow.been b usy etc..

hey sean yeh was thinking one like yours

[gun32gtr]

no much progress but all parts are collected just got to get motivated...anyone else have this prob....

[dontfeelcold]

Not when all the parts are ready to put on. get moving!

[GTRsean]

Chop, chop!

[Lunatikk]

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
