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

    • Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out. 
    • 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?
