It does look like a small actuator ill prob have to buy a bigger 1 u think??

Yeah, well, you see those small can actuators were giving troubles to the owners - wouldn't hold boost, etc. Large can actuator is only available in 18 psi spec, but is better in keeping WG flapper shut.

Added: You should possibly do a lil bit of search about "big can", one of the results of that search would be this thread

i dunno but my guess is still on the AVO .73 housing..possibly being sold under a diffferent name..

As far as i know it is the only GT30 housing available that bolts up to the skyline dump pattern

That is the mtq sonic performance housing. Even they dont know what size it is.. They say .75 in one place and .76 in another on the same page..

I fear this will be another AVO job, and it probably comes from the same supplier.

Look here:

http://www.sonicperformance.com.au/739548_dash_RB20_dash_25/Nissan-RB20_or_25-Ball-Bearing-Upgrade/pd.php

803712-5001 is turbo part#,

112101-11 is the serial#,

That actuator is a Garrett number and is a GT28 1bar actuator (14.7psi), also looks like its missing a locking nut for the rod end.

Housings definately not garrett. Have had customers come back to me with stories of those type of housings being too small and causing boost creep, so we swapped them for garrett 771300-10 housings 0.82 int. gated 5 bolt outlet (same as XR6s) and that solved the issue. But obviously would of needed to mod dump pipe with matching flange to suit lol. Does look like an AVO housing but can't confirm, have you had a look on the inner edge of the housing inlet? the a/r size is sometimes stamped there. On garrett units they are.

just looked all over it and there is no numbers unfortunately :ermm:

so why dont these housings flow if they are supposedly bigger than the .63 but smaller than the .82 in theory wouldnt that be a good happy medium between power and response?????

Im lost :wacko:

basically because they were never really designed to have garretts 60mm turbine wheel stuffed in them, they have been modified to suit..

So while it does work it is not ideal...

what you stressing about anyway just put it on and enjoy, you can always change it later on down the track, hell i may even buy the housing off you if the price is right...lol

ARTZ why buy his housing when you already own the ultimate turbo :P HG has put 3576 cores in stock 2iu housings, how many times must I tell you the 2iu isn't even half your problem.

As for the avo or sonic comment, I think I pretty well covered that it looks the same and possibly could be from the same factory but rebranded (avo's rights must have expired and China found new places to sell its products)

The problem is exactly as said above, they are actually made for the stock turbo. They are ok when using a gt28 core or similar but the gt30 60mm is probably a little too big for their design.. Ive touched on it already, id probably prefer a 2iu or op6.

Ask mtq to swap it for the Garrett .82 and pay the difference if u have to, its still new.

Whats a garrett housing worth? and the labour costs involved in changing the housings?

garrett housings about 400-600$ and its only a few bolts you should be able to change it yourself if you can use a spanner..but you will also need a new dump, not sure how much they are..

GTScotT is right I dont want it, I have Kando power now..lol.. Dont worry just put it on your car and see how it goes, it will be great..chances are you will have other bigger problems than the housing anyway...just get it working first

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
