Hey all.

Any southeners after some spare change one weekend?

I ordered an HKS Heavy Duty adjustable turbocharger actuator of Nengun last August and received it in December. 5 months later I still cant see when it would get fitted.

Are there any handy-andy's down south who wouldnt mind getting their hands dirty for a) $70 cash?, b) or 2x bottle of spirits such as Jim Beam, c) or a premium case of beer, to install the hks turbo actuator for me? Just too hard on my knees to bend over the bonnet and work on the car with no kneecaps..... last time I installed splitfires (1 month ago) I was ruined for a week lol.

Ive got some tools, fairly basic, and got room in the garage out of wind/rain etc. Live in morphett vale and am a very friendly host, the water billy can be fired up & passed around no worries :D

Just after one southener who wouldnt mind sparing an hour of his/her time, for shop rates (boostwerks is around $70 for an hour) and I cant see why the actuator would be more than an hour to install and set to 1 bar?

Brenden, when you looking to do this? I should be free June 14/15 if you want a hand then. If beforehand, someone else should be able to help you.

I have the R33 workshop manual still too, so should make working things out rather easy :D

Its a standard RB25 turbo, but highflowed front and rear housings by Sliding Performance, with oil/water journal bearing centre.

Using stock rb25 actuator atm.

How much did the highflowing cost ya tangles....and what are the benefits of getting that done!

BTW the bov is f**kn awesome mate no probs whatsoever

It's either a 1 bar actuator which means no need to use a bleed valve to run the desired 1 bar, or For Example, Spike can be caused with a standard 4-5psi actuator because the bleed valve needs to work alot harder to bleed alot more air to reach the desired psi, where as say a 10psi actuator is already close enough to the 1 bar mark so therefore doesn't need as much bleeding hence less spike.

Done Ryan!!

sweeet ! cheers matey, if youve done it before should be all good.

its a 1bar (14.7) actuator, and Im tuned for 1bar as well with a dual stage ebc (albeit drops to 12 psi, hence this actuator needs to be installed).

sending you a PM, cheers for offering

hey Krishy!

yeah the highflows arnt done by Slide anymore, unfortunately.

I got a good deal, supplied 2x ruined turbos and some cash (under 700) for the highflowed turbo, steel wheels, 360deg bush bearing, oil and water cooled, rated 250rwkw at 1bar.

Other shops do similar highflows, journal bearing, for around 1300.

Glad to hear the BOV is good, sounds pretty cool hey! I miss it :down:

Rub's, yeah mate has an Apexi mechanical boost guage. Ryan says he's done heaps before, and if he doesnt mind a drive and a billy and a gift of a) b) or c) then its all looking good atm. sent a PM ryan. :bunny:

yeah the slide-highflows are pretty decent

mines just a stage "2" highflow, the stage "3" has the VG30 rear housing

my inlet and exhaust have been ported to the extreme !

ryan, Ive got some tools (you'd probably want to bring some of your trusties along tho), a real good jack, and some dodgy wheel ramps if needed. only thing is with no kneecaps I cant kneel or squat or stuff like that :bunny:

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
