Fellow boosters! :) I fitted an R32gts-t wastegate actuater to my S2 (neo) Stagea 2day and hit 15psi with light throttle. I have read that the 32 act. holds 10psi. When I removed Neo act. I lined it up against the 32 act. and a steel wheel 33 turbo I have. The free length of all the act. is the same. The mounting point to w/gate flap on Neo measured the same as on the 33. I can't work out how I ended up with 15 psi. I am able to make Neo act. arm adjustable to screw up to 10-11 psi. Would there be more gain/ control buying atleast Jacar Boost controller? I did do a search to try and answer my question. Go the Stagea!!!!!!

The difference comes from the fact that the wastegate arms are welded on different angles from R32's to R33/34's. (as in, on the turbo, the little arm connected by the rod to the flap (wastegate))

You wont have much luck with an R32 actuator on a 33/34 turbo as it will just be on too much pretension, resulting in massive boosting like you are seeing. (I think, at least, that makes sense in my mind)

What you can do if you want to tighten your actuator spring is to drill a hole closer to the diaphram on the actuator rod, so you would have two holes next to each other, the stock one and a tighter one. The tighter hole, if right next to the stock one, will boost around the 9psi mark id estimate. This would be using the NEO actuator.

I have a drilled, r33 actuator on a turbo thats got an r32 actuator arm, and I boost around 9psi minimum.

THOUGH....honestly mate, Jaycar IEBC is the way to go... or at least just a "TurboTech"

    • Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.
    • Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.
    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
