I've got an rb25 turbo on my rb20 and for some reason it runs 0.4 bar stock. The wastegate is sharing a vacuum line instead of me tapping into the cooler piping. Anybody got any ideas?? My thoughts were either the wastegate was playing up or it doesn't like sharing vacuum lines.

thanks

Hi Mase, 0.4/0.5 bar that's the standard RB25DET spring rate in the wastegate actuator. RB20DET spring is 0.6/0.7 bar. If you still have your RB20DET actuator swap it over. Or get a boost controller.

Thanks for the advice fellas. Fat32 thanks also but i don't want to run that much boost coming into summer. It's pretty hot under the bonnet of the silvia with the six in there. Sydneykid, yeah i was wondering if i could swap them over or not and was going to have a look at it. Thanks for the advice though. I was just concerned that something may have not been right.

Thanks

Jayson

Yeah but last time i put a bleed valve on the thing didn't work. It would almost reach the set boost in 1st, then in the following gears it would try and climb all the way till it hit fuel cut. Tried another turbo smart one and it did the same thing so i wasn't sure whether my wastegate was stuffed or whether it's something that my computer didn't like. I just don't want to take the risk with the new turbo so im going electronic when i can afford it. I think the bleed valve being faulty was a good contributer to stuffin my turbo even tho it only happend a couple of times.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
