Hello

I am putting a RB25 turbo on to my RB20 engine. The Rb25 turbo has a HKS acuator on it. Does any know what this does for the turbo? I have read that I should put my RB 20 one on to the RB25 turbo, but should I keep the HKS one on their when I put it on to my engine?

Help please Thanks

mmmm...this could very well be a 14psi actuator...as most hks actuators are....what amount of boost do you plan on running and what modifications other then the turbo do you have to support these???

i will tell you now with an actuator set at 14psi you wont get any spiking or weird boost creep...it will be smooth and throughout your rev range.

And very dangerous to the lifespan of the turbo. Stock rb25 turbos are renown for blowing at more than 12 psi.

ran my rb25 turbo on 15psi daily.. never blew up and no shaft play :laugh: made 206kw

hks actuators are a very good application for an internal gate turbo, just adjust it down to around 11 to 13psi with a good tune.

got the same setup on our silvia, rb20... 25 turbo and hks actuator

just adjust the actuator to what reads about 14-15psi and no need for boost controller :ermm:

I am putting this, downpipe, split front pipe, hi flow cat, onto the car. I was planning on buying a boost controller. So far , everyone says put the RB20 actuator onto the RB25 turbo.

If its going to shorten the life of the turbo I will take it off.

Keep or take off?

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
