Hi guys,

This may have been covered numerous times, but i remember reading it in a HPI magazine some time ago.

Please, don't give me grief, just answer the question. :)

So i'm thinking of putting a RB20det standard actuator on R34 Rb25det standard turbo on my R34.

Will this hold 10psi flat without spiking and how would i go about the boost solenoid? remover lines, straight bleed?

Thanks

the R32 actuator is rated at 12psi

so the minimum you can run, is, 12psi

it should be fine and is a good upgrade

no need for a boost controller or bleed valve etc

just actuator and away you go

If you want proper electronic boost control, the cheapest option is try the Gizzmo MS-IBC, overkill for what you want though it's pretty good for $300 (sometimes I see it down to $250)

What other input do you need?

It wont effect anything, it will just work and be good. No need to wire up boost controllers etc and set them up.

It is pretty much the limit boost wise you'd want to run anyway, without having to upgrade the ECU/AFM.

THIS was the very first mod i did on my RB25.

Holds boost at 10psi from around 3000rpm all the way to the redline.

10PSI . rock solid, not 12, not 10.1, not 9.9. 10psi.

as for the 2 stage boost solenoid.

cut the ground wire, strip 10mm off and ground it by screwing it under the solenoid mounting nut, done.

drop the bonnet and go for a quick drive.

make sure you put back any and all hoses that you undo. (you do not want to boost 2bar)

oh yea, for the r32 actuator vacuum hose, you're going to need something about 100mm longer.

less than $5.00 from any performance shop.

you'll love yourself for doing this mod, your tyres and petrol tank won't :D

have fun out there.

what mods do you have? fmic, full exhaust?

a lot of people report a slight boost increase (2-3psi) when fitting a free flowing exhaust and a front mount, without touching their actuator or installing a boost controller of any sort.

from memory my last dyno run with stock actuator/smic/dump i hit about 9psi :D

interested in how accurate the 32 actuator really is.

i have FMIC, trust cat back and hks pod.

i also have Power FC but it's not in yet because it's like $650 to tune.

I think, boost is creeping slightly atm 8-9 psi... but i thought it may have something to do with the .8 gap spark plugs...

But quite possible due to the upgrades.

I use my car a fair bit for drifting... and the power bug has really hit me :D

I'm hoping to whack the rb20 actuator on, run 12psi and make around 200rwkws (hopefully this will be enough to keep me slide happy)

I will keep you posted, but atleast i now know i need to ground the boost solenoid wire.

Couldn't i just rip the whole boost solenoid out and run a direct line from actuator to intercooler pipe?

Cheers guys

      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"
