hi iv tryed all the wreckers in my area and no one will sell an actuator without the turbo

what my problem is im about to put on a 3" tubo back exhaust but for some reason the owner in japan put a 12psi actuator on so if i put the exhaust on my turbo will be booting too high for it to handle,

does anyone have or know of someone that has an r34 gtt standard turbo actuator that i can buy ?????, oh yeah im melbourne area !!

thanks for you help

Well i have one of Stagea S2 Neo motor,so if that`s any help ,iaam in Perth so if you want it let me KNOW ,

cheer`s Chuckie.

i dont need the motor but if your willing to sell me the turbo actuator ?? that will be great

couldnt you just put in a boost controller?

now my mate sugested that but my actuator is set to 12psi and it will go up to 14 psi when the exhaust goes on (well thats the general outcome with people on this site.but i was under the impressiong boost controller can only up the boost not drop it ???

People who put R32 (10psi) actuators on their R34 typically have their boost sit rock-solid on 10psi, so not sure that's true. I suspect it's more of a case with the factory 5psi actuators being overcome by the extra flow of a new exhaust which is why they flow higher, but maybe I'm wrong.

I'd be sticking with the current actuator and seeing how you go - replace it if it becomes an issue.

(And yes, boost controllers can only go as low as the wastegate actuator is)

yeah im going to do that i just want one spare (i know if its boosting to high just dont put the foot down all the way ) so if its too high i can take it easy untill i replace the actuator (if it changes boost )

thanks for the advice people hopefull i can still get hold of one (just incase )

just to be clear

R32 GTST actuator is 12psi

R33 GTST Manual actuator is 7psi

R33 GTST Auto actuator is 5psi

so fare chance i have a R32 GTST actuator at 12psi

so is it un common for a car in japan to have an upgraded actuator but not turbo ??

only reason i ask is because i havent pulled the pipe off to see ?

the common actuator upgrade we see is the R33 GTST with R32 actuator

thats the only common actuator change that im aware of

ie you wouldnt fit a 16psi actuator to R33 GTST turbo as the turbo cant safely flow that much

also look for std actuator specs for BNR34 and ER34 if anyone can measure/check or confirm them ?

    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
