i have twin hks 2530 turbos on a gtr with gold looking actuators....

the problemb we are having is boost spikes and holding steady boost..

it can hold about 16psi but no more as the boost jumps all over the place....

but sometimes even it spikes if i leave the boost at one setting..

could my old actuators be getting sad......

if i upgrade to the hks silver 1.0bar actuators can they hold higher boost..

i am running a new blitz id 3 controller in manual mode set to 52 boost ratio and 20 gain.. (16psi).i also mounted the blitz soleniod under the pod filters so the hoses are nice and short for better response..

cheers...

Hi Mark we always run the wastegate spring rate as close to the boost level as we can. This means the boost controller, whatever type, only has to regulate a small amount. Plus the higher spring rate eliminates any chance of premature wastegate opening.

I am not familiar with the Blitz boost controller, so I can't help there.

Mark,

That's a great boost controller you have there, one of the best on the market. Gain doesn't seem to be too high, but have you tried setting it on zero and seeing if that corrects the boost spike?

When setting up a boost controller, you should always put gain to zero, and set the solenoid duty until you reach the desired boost level being held at peak, and then slowly turn up the gain to bring up the response at much as possible without spiking (too much)...

As SK said, the best method of boost control is buy a wastegate actuator with the correct spring rate to open at your desired boost level, but that eliminates the ability to turn the boost down for wet weather/valet parkers/friends/etc...

Good luck!

thanks, i might try to adjust the threaded rods on the actuators a bit to load up the spings a bit more..

thanks guys...

yes the silver ones or 1 bar spring i believe...correct me if i am wrong..

my ones are gold but have the adjustable rod....

i have just adjusted the rod a few turns more to preload the wastegates a bit more...

about to try it out after dinner...

another mod i have just fitted a 62deg nismo thermostat to help cooling....how helps a bit...

cheers..

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
