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

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • 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.
