You are going to need a 2.5 inch to 3 inch reducer pipe in 45 degrees, connect that into a 3inch straight metal pipe, then a 3inch straight hose to AFM with a good pod filter fitted.

Stock BOV is a big problem. Once stock BOV is disconnected from factory intake pipe it will "not leak" but instead sucking un-measured air in before hitting with positive boost pressure. So you can either fit a One way valve in between the vacuum source or get a aftermarket BOV.

To do either of that you must re-locate your AFM into cooler piping, Block off the factory BOV port and fit your BOV before the AFM. else it will affect idle on deceleration (or you can decelerate in gear which will has no affect on idle).

Wow that sounds like a major pain in the arse. Surely there is a simpler way.

Is the factory rubber pipe the right size?

I have read someone with 300rwkw did this:

- Intake pipe strengthened with internal steel pipe to stop sucking close

Is this an option?

As long as the intake pipe is no more restrictive than the MAF sensor you should not loose power.

that's the rev210 mod... search it... massive thread

i did the same... shoved a 3" stainless steel pipe in there... works a treat. no issues whatsoever.

Cant you just make a 3inch intake pipe then use a 2.5inch to 3inch silicon off the turbo to amke it fit and whats the probelm with the bov that has to make it change the afm and what not?

stao, im still not 100% happy with your response, i paid $150 extra for a high pressure actuator (15-18 psi you clamied) ... so can you give me a better response then " I need a metal intake pipe" to resolve the fact the actuator is only holding 12psi?

i have the rev210 mod and trent (status) said it wasnt sucking shut... the metal intake pipe will not help me pick up and hold 4 psi

From what boost is it dropping to 12 from? on mine it drops from about 17.5 to 14.8 on redline its more due to because of it being a 0.63.

The turbo is running in .63 rear housing. the actuator on it has a 1.3KG spring loaded. You will definitely get a boost drop due to intake pipe restriction. It doesn't necessarily shut in full. But more partially shut in different areas.

You will get a higher boost reading with a 3inch metal intake pipe and a slight adjustment with actautor pre-load, or actautor pre-load along.

The later versions runs a waste gate control valve like what i've made for Ric's car. I've made one and tried to ring you today for pickup had no answer. Once that is installed you can hold what ever boost you want. Please ring me and organize a date and time to pick up this part.

yeah ric, stao is right.. its a 0.63, not 0.82 ;)

its peaking at 17.5 and dropping and holding 12 psi... i have performed the rev210 metal intake mod to prevent the intake closing...

also the maximum amount of preload has been set.... no more thread left on the adjustable rod

do you have a higher sprung actuator then the one you proveded me?

Well I've noticed mine stock intake pipe twists under high boost with a bigger turbo (ATR43G4). It twisted and stood up like a rattle snake with AFM and filter removed. I have my afm in between cooler piping. Then shut and car breaks down.

ended up tuning with no intake pipe or filter. worked heaps better.

I haven't tried this new wastage valve thingy, but with my OP6 rear, the .63's won't hold flat boost. I've got a mammoth actuator on the car at the moment (boost controller off it runs 18psi :D) but will always drop that 3-4psi etc. That's the housing, not the actuator.

And i'm pretty sure you'll find that with any turbo of similar size, you're not going to hold that sort of psi to redline. GCG highflow, HKS GTRS, HKS 2835 ProS... you'll find very similar boost curves.

We overlaid a HKS 2835ProS boost curve with my OP6 rear housing curve, and they were very similar... the HKS just held out every so slightly longer, but it was very similar (and also a $4k kit i believe)

So it's not an issue with they hypergear highflows... it's just a trade off for having a housing that is more street friendly.

To be honest, i'm glad it doesn't run 17 or whatever at redline, even running E85, i'm not fussed it tapers off a bit. Sure it doesn't look pretty on a graph... but i'm sure your engine is preferring it :D

Stao the intake pipe is not the issue on this car. The actuator is fully preloaded.... it has no thread left to wind in more. Have you got a 18psi base pressure actuator available still? I know we are going to get drop but it could be improved a little with more preload.

I havent used the new mod you are doing to the turbos (like ricks actuator flap restricor) but im concerned about big spikes on gear changes, have you had much feed back? i really don't want to play guinea cop with a customer. (NOT CRITICISM JUST A QUESTION)

I would like to know this too! 18psi wastegate actuator would be much preferred!

i don't want to be said guinea p1g either :down:

someone else try it and let me know how it goes :)

Surely an 18psi wastegate actuator is the proper way to hold boost to redline as well (assuming it must be internally gated). The other way sounds like a band aid to me.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
