hey guys, i have a big boost problem with my R33 gtst, just have mad missfiring when boosting and i have noticed this..

i dont no what it is but is there a hose missing or is it normal, i have an intercooler n blow off aswell

That is an Actuator, the rod is connected to the wastegate, and it opens when it reaches the boost its set to, via an internal spring/diapragm.

Im no expert with aftermarket ones, but i would say theres sposed to be something hooked up to it? What boost does it make?

The missfire could be you boosting 400000psi :dry:

What are you on about?

Looks right to me. Connected to the top port. Havent ever seen a dual ported internal actuator but it looks like it should be connected that way, by way of daiphram functions. It pushes to open the gate flap.

Second (lower) port could be to add more boost, similar to the way an external gate works. Dont worry about it though.

What is your boost set at? Boost controller? ECU? Not much looks standard there...changed plugs lately? Tried changing coilpacks?

i dont no what boost it gets to cause it just seems to miss when its flat just after 4000rpm, iv seen it at 10psi b4 around 6000rpm but i dont have a boost controller or anything so i dont no why its boosting past stock??

i dont no what im talking about thats y i posted,

i have them idridum plugs in bout 5000ks ago, n i have standand coil pack?

why would it boost past stock boost if its all normal with no controller??

I have a HKS EVC II boost controller and when i bought it no one I know knew how to hook it up so I jumped on the net and found a PDF for the manual. The only problem was that the installation instructions were for either external gate or dual-port internal gate. From memory the lower port should go to an un-interrupted intake pressure source such as somewhere on the intake plenum.

Don’t quote me on this cause I’m not sure how correct this is. Maybe someone can verify this?

Not sure about the GTR's but the gibson R31 GTSR's ran a dual port actuator.

I asked the owner of one at phillip island why it was like that and all I got was "better boost control". I didnt want to look like a dick and sticky beak all over the thing so I didnt see where either hose was going.

Edit~~ Found this from a google search.

A dual port wastegate adds a second port on the opposite side of the actuator. Air pressure allowed to enter this second port aids the spring to push harder in the direction of closing the wastegate. This is exactly the opposite of the first port. The ability to help the wastegate remain closed as boost pressure builds can be increased. This also adds further complexity to boost control, requiring more control ports on the solenoid or possibly a complete second boost control system with its own separate solenoid. Use of the second port is not necessary. Secondary ports, unlike primary ports, cannot be simply attached to a boost control line and require electronic control to be useful. C02 can also be used to apply pressure to the second port, in order to control boost on a much finer level.

as long as it has one hose to the top of the actuautor you'll be fine. got a bit more of a description of the exact problem? sounds like it could be dying coil packs....

well it just missfires heaps when the throttle is flat from start of boost till around 6000rpm and iv seen the boost around 10 but cant keep it there cause of the missfire, but if i press the throttle about half than it doesnt miss but boosts around 5psi, i have no boost controler and im sure its all standand just with intercooler n BOV??

      They care about emissions, and cost the most. Save weight where possible, and make manufacturing easier. Less material also let's the engine transfer heat to water quicker, and bring the engine up to temp quicker, better for emissions and getting them past their warranty period.

      I was under the impression the reason why OEMs are going with solutions like relatively thin "right-sized" cylinder walls with technologies like PTWA and open deck is because they care a lot about whatever marginal knock margin benefits they get from that vs the structural rigidity benefits of a closed deck block and thicker cylinder walls. I also see some weird stuff like plastic inserts in the water jacket around the cylinders to try and equalize cylinder wall temperatures. re: the PRP blocks and heads at the end of the day it's hard to know what is and isn't going to work there, just have to see what the initial buyers say about it.

      Which is why I didn't mention that hardness testing, and specifically mentioned the bore and deck thickness testing. Yeah, not really. The bore temperature will be a lot more even around the top half inch or so, where the material distribution is dominated by the deck, and which is the only place where the bore surface temperature heating any gas in the cylinder is likely to have any effect on detonation. Think about it. Another inch or so down the bore, you might have a hotter spot. The gas there might get a bit hotter, then the piston rises squeezes that gas away from there at high speed and mixes it with other gas from nearby. Instant dilution of the problem. I'd be surprised if it was an issue at any time other than in racing engines or OEM dev engines being run at the ragged edge of tuning. Say what now?

      https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/education/engine-tech-material-hardness-testing/ The PRP testing on block hardness I'm not sure how much it actually can be trusted. The thinner cylinder walls on RBs is a bit of a problem vs 2JZ but it really depends on the design goal. Siamesed cylinder bores like a 2JZ cause uneven cylinder wall temps too, which means a bit of distortion induced by that + the hotspot can affect knock margin. Something that actually gives me a bit of pause with the PRP block, whether super thick cylinder walls are going to keep it from being drop-in compatible on an otherwise OEM rebuild.

      Yeah very valid point. I am waiting for one of the other tuners to come back from vacation so he can help me a bit when the cat is installed again. In the meantime I am going to finish up my polishing and ceramic coating that I have started myself.    N45 Dr Beasley product is highly recommended for a paint primer / polisher. Using this EXO Gtechniq also for the ceramic but next time might use the light serum before hand also. Looks great.
