Just got my high flow back and installed on my rb25. Problem is when boost reaches its preset max it pulsates up and down at a fast rate 1-2psi. It Is fine untill it reaches full boost. I've been told it isn't surge because it only happens after full boost...is this correct. Stronger waste gate actuator needed????

pls help.

I know of one guy who had his highflowed and did the exact same thing, had to take it back because they hadnt matched the wheels properly or something. ask the guys who highflowed? they would have a good idea of whether its the conpressor/exaust wheels or your wastgate actuator.

I think you are refering to surge. I have had a turbo that surged before and I can say this is different. I tired a piece of wire to the waste gate and put it through the firewall. I applied preasure to the actuator when reaching full boost and it fixes the problem. I will move the waste gate actuator further back to increase the tension slightly and see how it goes. I have heard of problems with surging when using the RB25 exhuast housing. I am using a VG30 which has a bigger A/R.......fingers crossed.

specs: Comp T04B Vtrim

Turbine and housing are VG30

this setup has made 245rwkw@12psi on a 3ltr.

ps makes full boost before 3000rpm in third.

pps Who is the best dyno tuner in Adelaide???

Im getting towards that now, but, I like to have a go myself and it doesn't cost any money. I have experimented with altering then tension on the wastegate and managed to move the surge around the rev range but no aleaviate it all together. I'm still trying different things so I'll keep ya posted... might be one of u one day =)

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
