Can someone confirm whether or not when you use an electronic boost controller, does that negate the differences between using rb20 vs say rb25 wastegate actuators.

I remember reading once that the difference in is like 7 to 10psi or so though if you use say an AVCR it nullifies the advantage in sticking with a rb20 actuator.

RB25 wastgate act. is 5psi, RB20 is 10psi

Changing to the RB20 means the AVCR doesn't have to work as hard.

That's the theory anyway, don't know if it makes any difference in the real world though.

Just use whatever you have and go for it.

If you wanna change actuators later, it's only a 5-10min job anyway

..so the answer is yes, you should get close to the same results with either

anyone else?

If You only wanna run 12-13psi, go with the 5psi rb25 actuator, to give the AVC-R more control. If You wanna punch more into it, go the 10psi RB20 actuator so that it won't crack the wastegate open until 10 pound. This'll help quicken spool-up, by not bleeding any gas past the wastegate.

The AVC-R will start tweakin the solenoid at 0.3 bar regardless, so I doubt it'd affect how hard it works, only the duty cycle.

In otherwords, he's saying read birnies post :D

at stockish boost levels, I found that changing actuators with an ebc didn't really do much in terms of spool time. What it did do is it made it hard to make it slightly over wath the actuator is rated to e.g. with the r32 actuator (11ish psi), it was harder to run 12 psi than with the rb25 actuator.

      The alloy coolant reservoir has a sight glass, so as long as I can see coolant in the sight glass it's GTG, as for PS, it isn't anything catastrophic if it gets low, and as it hasn't lost a drop since I have owned the car I cannot see it being an issue, even after putting the "big block" 2.5 in....LOL The only time it gets slightly messy is at oil changes, as the oil filter sits above the frame, and I need to use a plastic bottle with its bottom cut off to catch the flow when loosening the filter

      Good on you for taking on the job, but it is a big one. Even if you have bolt on manifold and turbo, you will need: Post throttle pressure source to boost controller to wastegate (and FPR, and ECU/MAP sensor) Pre throttle pressure source to top of BOV(s) Oil feed - you can take that from the standard port in the middle of the block Oil return to block under the turbo - this is much trickier than it seems to route a decent/wide pipe past the manifold. You really can't use rubber hose because it is way too hot there, and also the oil out of the turbo core is a bit frothy so it needs to have a decent diameter Water feed - you can take that from the standard port in the rear of the block. Water return - mine runs to a T into the heater box return, just make sure you don't create a high point making bleeding hard. All of those lines should use 200 series style teflon braided hose with heat shielding because everything needs to be routed past the manifold. Also a turbo beanie is a really good idea to minimise the chance of the car catching fire (under bonnet lining in particular) You also need to decide a cam cover breathing solution as well, will you vent externally via a catch can (probably illegal) or return to the intake (plumbing required and can oil up everything over time) Keep in mind the intake and exhaust piping in the engine bay will be custom so you either need to be able to fab ally and steel or have someone you can get a car that isn't running to. Get the wideband fitting welded into the dump pipe at the same time. Also, just my opinion, a screamer pipe attracts attention and doesn't add power, I'd plumb it back if you want to be allowed to keep the car on the road. BTW do you know anything about how healthy the motor is, and what power you are targeting? Doubling or tripling the factory power on an unknown motor is a little risky. Also fuel system will need some attention (pumps, high current hanger, direct power and earth feed, injectors etc)

      As I wait for parts to be delivered, I have managed to procure via a contact a R32 Nistune ECU......for now I just want to monitor what the car is doing but eventually.......who knows where we go 😂

      To back this up, I'm always looking on the outside, seeing the level, and then opening it up anyway, as I'm worried the level I've looked at, is more so a scunge line. Then you end up dipping your damn finger in it too depending on the type of tank you're looking at just to make sure I'm not going insane.   PS, Mark, polish up the none moroso one a bit and then give it a clear coat. The Moroso one looks to be way shiner (not mirror polished, just shinier) and it'll still look weird with the two different alloys beside each other. Either that, or Id probably paint them a flat black...
