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.

      I'd be worried about having to parallel park a boat like that. Magnificent car though.

      This car has run before on this z32 ecu can get the part number for you, I have tried with no AFM it didn’t change anything, I compression tested today 140-150 across all 6 cylinders, also set fuel pressure to 43psi. The only weird thing was cylinder 1 plug was black and fouled other 5 cylinders were just wet with fuel. Spun cas by hand and confirmed injectors are clicking

      Since you came here to ask for help, have you thought about answering our questions, that might help us lead you to why it was skipping, or have you given up on getting advice?

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
