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

  • 1 year later...

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.

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
