Can you confirm a couple of things...

When you pressure test the system, u remove the afm and put in ur test fitting. That means ur intake pipe is in the pressure system, yet has non pressure areas being compressed. Ie your bov pipe and presumably the breather hoses that go from the ex rocker to the intake pipe, yes?

To rule that out please do the test on the system post turbo instead of pre, and make sure ur motor is on TDC. Then work ur way thru to see where its leaking, work forwards... So from there go to ur cooler entry, cooler exit, crossover pipe, throttle body. Work forward until u track how far the leak is into the system.

Ur breather shouldn't need ur finger put over the gromit, that means ur pressurizing ur sump... Obviously from the ex rocker breather via the intake. Otherwise ur PVC is ficked too. Test this before anything else.. Then test the guys infinite boost (blocked actuator) theory and see if it can actually make that boost up high when it cant possibly bleed it off.. If it can do it then u know the issue is boost control (actuator/wastegate arrangement).

Report back and well all help from there.

Yes that's how I've always done it, it did blow my intake pipe off once, took 2 hours to get it all back on and ready to test again. My bov does have a tiny little leak on the outlet side between the bov and the pipe adapter, not a problem during running. I no longer have the pipe that goes to the intake pipe from the tappet cover, that's the pipe I put my finger in. You can see it in the photos.

it will make over 20psi at 6500rpm, hard to hold it steady there without going stupidly fast. so i crept up to 6500rpm at between 15 and 20 psi then i put my foot down a bit quicker to see if it would make 25. not sure if this is a deffinative answer but makes me feel better. so new actuator and new tune and my car should be fine, hopefully the heat soak issue will be resolved with the tune. thanks everyone.

whats running to your p/s pump if your using that as a boost source?

is the p/s side blocked off?

did you use new hose for your boost to wastegate feed? one of the factory lines has restrictors in it

DVS can you pm me a prIce on a retune please.

Thought i did buddy, ill send u another one.

Let me know how u go with the new actuator, more preload, and put the boost source for the actuator in the cooler pipe just out of the turbo.

How long ago in that HG thread did I say it was the actuator lol.

This IS a definitive answer. Your car made more boost at points it never could when you eliminated the actuator from the equation. Done and done. Get that new bitch on her and enjoy.

Sarge. I did believe you but I didn't have a safe way to test it, that's where my wife comes in handy.

There isn't any boost feed going to the ps pump, I used new vacuum line to the turbo.

Yer I deleted it by accident and couldn't remember what you said.

That's the vacuum valve on a neo rb25. That's what I took the line off, il trace the other line and see if it's causing a leak.

I thought the Hypergear turbos had a nipple on the outlet of the turbo already for that purpose...

If not, do as Jez has said and put a brand new nipple on the intercooler pipe, nice and close to the turbo.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.

      It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

      Blue slip

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.
