Being limited by injectors I'm aiming for 230 but have cams and gears so will try and dial it in at the lowest possible rev

I've spent couple of hours on a bridged twin actuator setup with some scraps I had. In theory once both actuators gets connected to a single boost source, the valve open pressure stays the same as having a single actuator, how ever the strength acting against the gate doubles. I hope I'm on the right track and my innovation holding boost steady through out the whole rev range.

Nice work Stao! Thats effectively the same theory as a 'big can' actuator. Hopefully the extra mechanical load works towards holding higher boost levels flat.

FYI to all readers: Payment for my SS1PU has been made! Can't wait to have my new turbo in my hands!

Its different to a big can actuator, I've used it while ago and I couldn't get rid of the boost drop, the current high pressure actuators worked better.

Big can or high pressure actuators will only work to certain extend, the stronger the actuation spring is the more boost spike occurance in mid range as exhaust manifold pressure at that point is not as high as what they are in upper rev range.

The Actuator is acting against both inlet manifold pressure and exhaust manifold pressure, The EBC can bleed off inlet manifold pressure how ever has no control over exhaust manifold pressure. Pressure at any points of its distribution remains constant, So in this setup the advantage of having two actuators halves the force generated through exhaust pressure.

The end result in theory should half the amount of boost drop or better. I've taken the car out for a thrash with both actuators hooked up in one boost source, they are now sitting at 18psi instead of 16psi on a single. So hopefully it holds 20psi flat on the factory exhaust manifold.

And who said you cant reinvent the wheel? ;)

If you get a chance please take some pics when building my turbo, for my personal build log :)

Car going on a local dyno just to compare boost plots with exhaust on and off tomorrow morning

Talked to head company who modified it. They said although squish pads were removed, de shrouding valves should be helping increase velocity and not create any lag and was advised to get an adjustable exhaust gear, dial cams in and see if it picks up earlier plus should be a bit more Det resistant now than before

Also found in another thread someone say they installed poncams and went backwards because head and block were skimmed so 0degrees wasn't really 0. Will bring a dial gauge home from work after my holiday

Edited by t_revz

im also worried about dialing cams im with the decking... Ive decked my block and dropping off my head to be decked today also. Running poncam type R's I hope it doesnt cause headaches..

My squish pads are removed plus other material in chamber yet after being skimmed previously then this time it's back to original CC so I guess it's been skimmed substantially all up, whereas the block only got trimmed 4"thou.

Tuner cringed this morning when I told him valve guides had been done... he said he'll see how the car goes on the dyno and push it as far as he's comfortable, but he said with the motor having been apart, and given its still on the stock exhaust manifold, he thinks it will be between 350-380rwhp.

Shall see how it goes!

LOL please dont tell us it pulls hard again until it is tuned.

last guy to get a HG turbo and see how hard it pulls, pre tune, blew his motor.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
