Wtborrow - Rb25 Standard Actuator And Air Box


Recommended Posts

Got reported to the EPA today, and though its not for a little while yet (letter is gonna be mailed to me) just gonna chase up some parts that i need

item 1 - stock RB25 actuator in good working condition. i'll need to borrow this for a few days and will return it asap after my inspection. dont want to buy as im just gonna revert to the cars current state post inspection.

item 2 - airbox w filter. dont need the snorkle as my airbox was lent to a user on here who then went awol with it. prob wont need this but safe to have anyway

please post in here, pm or sms on 0405736235

cheers

did they actually ping you for different actuator fitted or do you want to run std boost ?

if you have non-std actuatotor you could simply wire the gate open to make it run basically no boost

will epa pick up on that? Pettett picked up on the rerouted boost lines. just rekon its safer looking stock. will be swapped back out when i clear.

thanks for the replies guys. i'll get in touch when i get the letter

Niroj. Got actuator but it's still on the stock turbo. We can remove it for you if you like

PM me if you're selling stock turbo, interested in grabbing it off you.

yeah the vac lines is a dead obvious give away specially if they are brigth coloured vac lines etc

if its a std looking actuatgor and its not shiny and clean then you should be fine

ie if it looks clean it means youve been fiddling with it, cover it in oil and make it look dirty

i dont think they would be pick differetn actuator spring rate, how woudl they check it ? other than visual

the boost lines are the stock looking black rubber. easier to just go std for now

the nipple on rb20 actuator (i assume that's what you have Niroj) is in a different spot to rb25 one..

you'd be STIFF if you got done for that

hmm didnt know that

Sorry grant. I keep my stock parts in case of EPA. Don't like hunting stuff everytime I get done haha

Fair enough, worth asking anyway.

Lol harsh. I've had about 4-5 epas and about the same number of defects

GEEZZ!!! crazy boy...now for your sake i hope you dont get any troubles...but pretty sure looking at your car cops are forced to pull you over :) coz its so hot :)

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
