Turbo Actuator

[Tangles]

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

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?

im at west lakes, but wouldnt mind driving to give you a hand mate, standard turbo?

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

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.

Im easy

No rush, it isnt going anywhere fast lol

Yeah Ive got the workshop manual on CD pdf form....

[Ryanrb25]

ive done this a million times, all depends whether it needs to be modified or not.....you make a time and date and im there champ....im easy!

i have my own tools aswell...should take all of about 20 minutes.

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

[Ryanrb25]

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.

Tangles, got a boost gauge? I assume you would.

If no one else can assist anytime soon, I might be available.

[Tangles]

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

[Tangles]

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

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.

[Krishy]

U miss it and i love it.....its so nice.....flutter and the whistle

[Ryanrb25]

PM sent tangles!

[Tangles]

whoo hoo !!

thanks all, glad I asked for some help

cheers all so much for the offers

very very appreciated from an ol'kneecapless young fool like myself

[shy_s6]

damn i coulda done with a couple bottles but im northern

i have a slidin stage 3 on its way made 264rwkw @ 18psi rb25, should be fun in my sil

[Ryanrb25]

Thats impressive power out of a highflow danny, should be good!

[Tangles]

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

[mid life crisis]

[Tangles]

'sif I can trust you, lol
