So this 32 GTST I bought has a KKR430 on it.

a few months after owning it, it wouldn't boost past 10psi.

Unplugged the actuator today, car boosts just fine, thought I might've had a boost leak etc, but it looks like the actuator is stuffed.

Don't really want to buy another KKR actuator, as Google tells me they're shit at the best of times.

Can I frankenstein a different actuator on to this turbo? maybe buy a standard rb20 one 2nd hand?

Just make a bracket off the turbo so the actuator mounts, match the actuator rod lengths and its all good?

I run an EBC, so don't really care about the base actuator boost level.

Have u tried a different boost controller ie a manual bleed valve to see if its definately the actuator?

my mate just suggested that too.

he reckons to double check the lines from the solenoid, and to try a bleed valve.

will try that first!

It means its a soft 7psi actuator. and if its doing 10psi means its well doing whats its made to do.

I have 20psi actuator that are direct bolton for this turbocharger. PM if interested of killing it faster.

sorry, I dont quite understand. Its run 20psi before, what has caused it to change to not go past 10?

dont really mind if I kill it faster, plan to bin this junk turbo and get a highflow or 2530 once I've fixed a few other things first.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
