use your standard RB20 actuator and you should get approx 10psi. This is all I would personally run if I valued my turbo.

o so run less than a rb20 turbo? i have my setting now ( ..low 10psi and hi 14psi) i thought having the bigger turbo on a car that wont push it as hard could run a lil bit more than they do on the r33s???? i no they are still ceramic internals.

I would not run 14psi.

Do a search on ceramic+stock turbo.

ive heard this before but I cant remember the logic used to get to this reasoning. Something regarding that the rb20 with 14psi it doesnt create the same load as a rb25 running 14psi due to the size difference and hence the rb25 turbo can push more on a rb20.

Someone smart should be able to confirm/deny this. Cbf working it out

It has to do with shaft speed. The bigger turbo flows more air. Boost is only a biproduct of the restriction present in your engine. Considering the restriction doesn't change, the larger turbo has a slower shaft speed to generate the same airflow that the previous turbo did, therefore, there is less load on the bigger turbo

rb20s generally flow less than rb25s. so at the same boost the rb25 is flowing more air and therefore the turbo is spinning faster. 12psi is considered fine on a 25, 14-15psi would be about the same on a 20

      Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.

      Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old

      Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.

      I _think_ that one has a christmas tree or some other retainer spike into a hole in that panel under it. Come in under it with thin scredrivers and just pry it gently up. If you rip the ears off the retainer pin....so what? Just stick it back down after with a bit of race tape and carry on with life.
