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 ?

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • 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.
