Hi guys,

I remember seeing a post on here somewhere about this but I can't seem to find it- if someone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

Wondering if anyone has run an R32 actuator (10psi) with the stock R33 boost solenoid earthed out and ended up with a stable 12psi?

Any experiences would be great.

Cheers

Chris

Yeah thats the kinda boost you'll be expecting with the r32 actuator. Did the same thing on my 33 except I just ditched the boost control solenoid completely instead of earthing it. Switching from my standard actuator to the r32 item put boost from around 8 psi up to around 11psi, this was with a front mount cooler and full 3" exhaust. I wouldn't want to push the stock turbo past 12 psi just to make sure you're not stressing the ceramic exhaust wheel too much.

Thanks for the replies guys, but i should have been a bit clearer - I'm already running an R32 actuator and getting a rock solid 10psi at the moment with a FMIC/exhaust.

I was hoping to use the stock boost solenoid to switch between 10psi and 12psi. I don't want to run 12psi all the time but it would be good to have the car remapped on 12psi and then use that setting for when I need a bit more oomph.

I think if you have the boost control solenoid operating it will start off runnin 5 psi until 4500 rpm and then the rating of the actuator, r33 being 7psi and r32 10psi from 4500rpm upwards. And the low boost setting isn't adjustable.

Correct me if i'm wrong if anyone has tried this?

Well the low boost setting will be 10psi with the R32 actuator- regardless of whether the electronic solenoid is connected or not.

What I'm hoping to do is get the R33 solenoid to bleed off 2psi when it is earthed, giving me 12psi.

I guess I'll just have to try it out!!

if you run the r32 actuator, then you dont need the solenoid, it's pointless

the r32 actuator will give you a prefect 12psi, whichi is about the max i would run on the r33 turbo

here are the spec of the std actuators

Use the air gun to blow compressed air approx A ~ B kgcm2 into the hose and make sure the swing valve controller rod operates.

where

HR32 - A = 0.8 and B = 0.9 kgcm2 which is 0.85kgcm2 (average) which is 12.08 psi

BNR32 A = 0.7 and B = 0.8kgmc2 which is 0.75kgcm2 (average) which is 10.66 psi

ECR33 manual is 385mmhg which is 7.4446 psi

ECR33 auto is 270mmhg which is 5.220 psi

BCNR33 A = 0.79kgcm2 and B = 0.85kgc2m which is 0.82kgcm2 (average) which is 11.6 psi

if someone can find ER34/BNR34 please let me know

cheers for that Paul :wub: i always thought the r32 actuator was rated to 10psi, i guess 12 won't be too bad.

i have just unplugged the solenoid and am going to hide the dangling plug bit under the airbox so it all looks nice and stock, easier than pulling everything out and blocking off hoses etc i think.

EDIT: in the process of taking out my current actuator.. can anyone point me in the right direction re: removing the pin at the turbo end? i don't want to damage anything.

thanks

can anyone help me? sorry to be a pain :wub:

it looks like the rod is sort of clipped onto the turbine housing, reading around on other site it says to 'pop' this bit off.. but i'm a bit too cautious for that!

on a very quick short / run it might be ok

but after repeated loading up the stock core will be useless and wont perform

the end results would be excessive intake temps causing detonation

r32 actuator with no boost control solenoid = 10psi

r32 actuator with boost control solenoid hooked up normal = 10psi and at 4500 rpm 12psi

r32 actuator with boost control solenoid hooked up and earthed out = 12psi

Edited by MrR33666

no, that's incorrect

from the nissan service manual;

HR32 - A = 0.8 and B = 0.9 kgcm2 which is 0.85kgcm2 (average) which is 12.08 psi

so the minimum boost you can run when using the R32 actuator is 12psi

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
