Well I for one am very impressed. Thats a fantastic power curve.

Its a prick of a job, but i have done it on my hks2530s, turbonetics make an oem size dual port actuator (part is 30326) that fits the hks actuator bracket. Need 1/4 UNF 80mm actuator rods from gcg for it to fit, and a 4 port mac valve but its a good option to keep the gate shut.

Are your gates creeping open at high exhaust manifold pressures or are the turbines just falling over?

I guess at those flow rates your post-turbine exhaust pressure becomes quite significant.

Is the turbonetics actuator any better than the ones hks offer? Edited by Chris32R

I was going to buy those turbonetics gates but I heard they clash and there's no room for them down there.

I've got them on an R34 and they fit fine, tight to get them on there with the turbos mounted and in the car, but possible. haven't had huge boost through them yet as we we having misfire issues. had to use the HKS actuator bracket as it holds the actuator with two bolts, so the turbonetics fits straight in, whereas the garret actuators are welded to their brackets.

I didn't realise HKS did a dual port actuator? do they make one? the only reason I went the turbonetics ones is they were the only dual port stock looking gate on the market (that I could find)

the advantage of dual port is low preload, so the diaphram can respond faster. it uses MAP pressure to press the wastegate closed when the boost control solenoid is active.

so my gate is set to 8psi preload, so you can either go a single port 25psi preload actuator, and it will hold 25psi worth of pressure, or a dual port actuator at 8psi preload will hold it shut with 33psi of pressure. the more preload, the greater the offset.

also means I can run 8psi in Girlfriend/Valet mode, 22psi in Petrol mode and 28psi in E85 mode.

can you fit turbosmart ones down there?

They recently borrowed an entire turbo (GTX2867 for ref) off one of the cars I've been working on to make up a bracket to fit the T28 housing to a turbosmart dual port

#thankstraklife

The same power has been made with 63's in gtx housings at the same boost.

I was talking about in regards to the turbonetics wastegate option for the low mounts they said it wouldn't fit on those housings and fit

ah which compressor cover are you using?.. I am using HKS2530 turbos. it may be that the bolt pattern on the back side of the GTX compressor housings are a larger radius from the centre, so the alignment wouldn't work, as that is where the actuator bracket attaches.

not sure if they are or not. but if people are putting -5 comp covers on a GTX core, then I dont think they would be different unless some machining of backplate to comp cover is required to fit the compressor cover to the core.

they're the all-in-one R34 Coils so no igniter required.

if healthy OEM coils can handle 660awhp@ 28+ psi in the car above, that's good enough for me. I'll just get a new set, but if i need to go beefier I'd be interested to hear what Ryan1200 and His mate have done.

Standard setup besides a set of Splitfire coil packs.

I know this, hence why I said I would grind out stock housings to suit.

It's not exactly easy, you'd be better just getting a set of -9 or stock front covers like I did for my gtx2860s.

I'm not sure the gain will justify it, but I am sure there will be a small gain

How long are you away from a result, Pete?

If anyone needs custom turbo work done the guy who owns the cars I posted results on works for MTQ in Brisbane and will happily make it happen. Ask for Rossco.

He did mine

Still a while, have not yet got engine or update on it, shall send the builder a message tommorow to see about that actually.

Considering Getting a shop to put it in and getting it running to save time and prevent me making cockups

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
