i noticed when i put my boost controller in and setup the gain it spooled faster than when i was just using the wastegate

i don't NEED to run a boost controller if i don't want to...if you say the hks actuators are second to none then they will hold whatever boost level they're meant to hold properly...
Gee...thanks for the technical lesson...i'm a certified mechanic and mechanical engineer and been involved with turbo cars for 4 years...as if i didn't know that a bigger turbo would cause more lag...when i said positive boost at 3500 (NOT 1000rpm) i meant that the boost gauge would read 0.0bar at 3500 or more...now that i know for a fact is abit late...i'm asking for opinions and suggestions here...i don't need to know that i need a boost controller and i need a dyno tune...so before you try to teach me how about you read your own crap first...i don't NEED to run a boost controller if i don't want to...if you say the hks actuators are second to none then they will hold whatever boost level they're meant to hold properly...

So sorry Mr education....

Best you don't assume nobody else here has mechanical experience. How well do you know me????

4 years is such a long time now isn't it?????

Tread carefully my friend...

Go ahead and improve on a HKS internal wastegate, I would love too see that.

Maybe the wastegate is not operating correctly but that is not a design fault..

Since when have i ever said i wanted to improve on the wastegate anyway...4 years also ain't that long...but its definitely enough time to know that a larger turbo will have more lag...and its definitely enough to know i need to get it tuned for it to run properly and safely...anyway...so if you do have more experience...give me a list of possible causes and i'll take them into account...instead of telling me redundant crap like how i MUST run a boost controller...

That was my first guess but after trying 2 RB20 and 1 RB25 actuator i thought otherwise. New hose with hose clamps were used so it did'nt leak.

Im going to open up the waste gate a bit more once i take the turbo out for the new motor. Theres more than enough meat in the housing to grind yet still keep the HKS popper flap and keep a seal. It cant do any worse can it.

Thats a good idea...i might have to do the same thing if i can't sort this problem out...can i ask what dump pipe are you using? is it a hks original or some other dump...cheers...

Come on now and get serious, I cannot believe some of the rubbish that is posted..

:)

Their all questions... everyone learns from somewhere

oh p.s. getting a turbo to spool under 1000rpm? please read hpi with bee r's s15 on the front cover :) (supercharged sr20det + tdo6) :sorcerer:

I started with a blended 3inch dump. I now have another dump converted to screamer with a 2inch screamer. Still the same.

If you guys are paranoid about the actuators... best way to checking if it opens correctly and what psi its set at by using an air compressor with a guage on it... that'll determine if its screwed or not...

2nd thing is porting the wastegate hole on the exh housing... better to get it done professionally just incase you go too much then your screwed.. only your dump pipe will cause this issue if the flapper dusn't open all the way cos its hitting it..

let us know how you go

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
