hey guys

a while ago if some of u remember i had a little issue as to boost spike.. look at dyno

EmreA-Dyno03-03-2007.jpg

was hitting 20psi then dropping to 16-17.

after the intake pipe poped off the turbo, i thought id pull it all out and clean my afm and tada!

the hose going to the bov (which is blocked off) had a massive tear around 15cm long!

i dont know why the workshop kept the hose there and blocked it off from around the bov location, anywho, blocked it off from the intake pipe itself..

now what id love to know is how can i lower my boost via the hks actuator? it was a little nut thingy on the end im 100% sure its adjustable just want to know how/which way! but now its running 20psi all day everyday :S

now thats all done, should i just leave the boost controlled by the actuator or should i set it to say 12psi and run a boost controller? or just run 15psi from actuator?

one problem is that the car will be on the track at winton (19th april), and i dont think i can get one of them turbotech boost controllers before then..

any ideas would be much appreciated!

thanks in advance

so you have a hks adjustable actuator and just want to know how to adjust it?

on my turbo you have to disconnect the arm from waste gate end then loosen the nut on the shaft, wind it out and tighten the nut again.

ye well its sorta gotta be done...

actually to think about it, its really not that hard.. shouldnt take more then 5 mins to do, then testing it (going for a drive) then setting it to the right amount of boost will take time (but fun =) )

The turbotech will work fine...adjusted right the hks actuator should see you running about 14-16psi without any spiking...then use the turbotech to raise boost to whatever level you want...remember that this is a mechanical system so a slight spike as it hits max boost is normal as it takes time for the system to stablelize...

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
