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 :)

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
