my car hits 14-15psi at 3000 but drops back to 10-11 at redline. pod, fmic, nice big intake piping, turbo-back exhaust. turboxs bleed too. i'm considering a different actuator, EBC or autospeed boost controller (altho i doubt it would hold it any better?)

I tested out my boost holding capabilities last night, it seems to hold 15 pound, but does drop off to 13.5psi or so somewhere high i the revs.

It is hard to watch the boost gauge, tacho and the road at the same time hehe

I will try and get the datalogging going and see if I can get a read out some time this week

ive already got the details about the hks actuator, sorry i should have posted already/

Hi Dean,

Hope you are well. Pricing information as requested:

HKS Actuator Update Kit R33 GTSt: 11,384 yen

Shipping: 2,500 yen

TOTAL: 13,884 yen AU$170

Notes: The above actuator is rated for use 0.8 ~ 0.9kgf/cm2.

I didnt end up gettin it cos one came available here, yet the person sellin hasnt mad any contact since he posted it for sale. Anyway i have no money atm, so will have to wait a while before i get this.

Cool - that would be nice :)

I think 0.8 - 0.9 kg works out to be about 12-13psi isn't it ??

That's pretty good, and pretty much smack on what I'm looking for. I suppose if you were really keen you could bleed off 1-2psi to get to 1 bar. But at least you would drop boost like I am :D

when i get some money ill let u know how it goes.

Does any body have any info on the wastgate actuator for R32 turbo ive heard it doesnt open til 10psi.

Is this true?

Would it fit in place of the r33 item?

Anybody else done this?

HKS one is cheap enough but im not keen on running 12 - 13psi with standard intercooler/turbo. Plus anymore the 10psi and my engine seems to ping on hot days. Gets to over 40 deg there in Horsham.

Hi Munna

Is this true?

**Yes

Would it fit in place of the r33 item?

**Yes

Anybody else done this?

**Yes, many times

anymore the 10psi and my engine seems to ping on hot days.

**You have a tuning problem, too much ignition advance or too little fuel. I strongly suggest you get it tuned properly.

Hope that helps

Dean: I found that boost drop on the standard turbo was caused by a combination of reduced ignition timing up top (which reduced combustion pressure and exhaust flow) and the turbo being unable to flow any more air because of high back pressure and cylinder back filling at high rpm. The Vg30 exhuast housing with no other mods on the Rb25 turbo held 15psi to redline. I actually locked my wastegate closed and my RB25 turd and it still still didn't hold boost.... hope that helps

Thanks Sydney Kid one more thing

where can I get one from?

    • 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.
