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.

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.

      @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.

      One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
