Hi all,

Went to a wreckers to get a second hand turbo for a mates skyline.

The turbo appears to be in good condition but i cant push the wastegate actuator shaft open by hand. As in I cant force the wastegate open by pulling the actuator shaft from the lever to the actual actuator.

Is this normal or does it sound stuffed? Just didnt want to pay premium money for a screwed one.

Cheers

Jason

i tried to open my wastegates when i bought my new turbo's. i couldn't , they turned out being 14psi ones because the turbo's were -5's.

i probably could've done it somehow but i didnt want to break anything trying to pry them open just to see because they were brand new.

but they've turned out to be fine.

oh dear god

you wont pulleither open easily a rb25det one you will have to put all your strenth to pull it straight out using both arms

a rb20det one you will have to jam half your hand against the can and half to kind of force it out .

put a bike pump on it with a gauge and youll be surprised how easy it moves at small psi

i can move my 19psi actuator by hand so if you cant move a stocker then you either need to eat more weet bix or its rooted. as said put some pressure into it and see what it does

i think i need more leet bix cos my 5psi one is hard :P

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • 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.
