Hey guys

I've got a few questions about my HKS Adjustable Actuator thats on the GTRS turbo. I've currently got a Profec B II installed as well.

1. Given that when the EBC is off and I give the car a hit I only see a max of 7psi does this mean the HKS actuator is set to 7psi at the moment?

2. So to tell the current boost setting of the actutor I just leave the EBC off?

3. The rod seems slightly wiggly and I can slightly rotate the it, as well as this the small pin/washer that holds the rod to the exhaust/turbine housing (pictured below) is very loose. Is this normal? If not what can I do to fix it?

4. When adjusting the rod: shorter = higher minimum boost yes? longer = lower minimum boost?

5. I assume that an EBC + the HKS actuator is the best setup? Instead of just relying on the actuator alone, where it only acts as a spring to keep the wastegate flap closed and could potentially be slowing down boost build up acceleration?

I'd really like to make the base or minimum boost around 1Bar/14.7psi as I plan to run anywhere from 18-22psi when I get a tune so I'd like the EBC to do as less work as possible in hope of achieving a flatter boost curver.

Cheers,

Andy

wind the actuator wound in - you will increase boost.

with the ebc - yes it will be better than simply running the actuator.

i have done this with hks actuator in the past - simply wind it in so you cant actually pull it over by hand, need to use pliers because of the tension, test it with ebc off or disconnected to see what boost is at. keep winding in until you get to 1 bar.

then setup ebc accordingly.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
