Hi all,

To cut along story short I've fitted some turbos to my GTR (I didn't look at the part number, I just fitted them), I noticed when I went to fit them that the rod on the waste gate had two settings, so I set them on the lower boost setting, but on the road I had only 4-5PSI at full boost (Not cool in a GTR, my VL turbo would have killed it).

So I changed the wastegate rods to the second hole (higher boost pressure), but the thing has way too much boost (Like i get scared and back off at 18 PSI).

Has any one had any experience with this sort of thing? Im hoping someone can help me out as I really dont want to have to change the wastegate actuators, cos that looks like a really quick 2 minute job (NOT).

Thanks guys

You sound like a VL owner - lazy and stupid!! So you dont know what turbo's you fitted and you have no idea what the actuators are for - cause they dont sound like anything I've heard of. f**k if you barstardised your GTR I can only imagine what the VL looks like!!

You sound like a typical rice owner. You ever got the numbers off a turbo whilst on a GTR engine???? The Rego departments wont even do it.

Look here, I asked for help to save myself some work trying to get these numbers. I actually got these turbos off a GTR that had spun a bearing.

I know what the actuators are for d$#%%@$d. And if youve never heard anything like them, then your stupid. F%$#&g stupid. Seeing your a w@#$%r I can only imagine how your palm looks. Get out of this thread please!!!!!!!

Uras, and R31nismoid, thanks for your replies. The turbos appeared standard, same cover and housing.

Iĺl hunt around for a picture if you like. But the turbos looked identical to what I removed. These type of actuator appears on turbos for sale now and then, I was hoping someone has had some experience with them.

I wish my turbos would push out more than 18PSi when the intake settles down across the power curve. what are they?

Mine are fudged N1's, but fail to push higher now.

Let us know what they are will u, I want to keep the twins, but need more pressure now.

Sorry to almost hijack, but u have the total opposite of what I am experiencing.

Remember that pressure can also be a restriction to flow across the head as well, and it could be an indication in the intake side, but only there.

Nope. Climbs initially to 23psi, and then tails off to 17psi as the revs get higher.

Mine are running at 100%... flat out now, controller is the best dual, and the actuators must be working, as I can lower the boost via it.

Even the sensors say pressure is dropping off.

unless...

Alright, Ill post back here when I find the part number. Theyŕe off a R32 GTR that was imported for race use, but the motor was knocking so the vehicle was stripped.

Has anyone else had to get GTR turbo numbers off turbos whilst in the car??? Last time I tried I could see the front turbo number, but it didn have air con so was a bit easier, still a bitch to see thou

I checked the turbo part numbers and they are stock r32 gtr turbos. I also checked what pressure the waste gates are opening, and it's at around 9psi on the high setting so I must have an issue with the boost solenoid or the hoses.

      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.
