Hks 2530's running 20 psi.

Can't get my car to boost cleanly throughout the gears , and i have no idea why.

When i run 16 psi or 1 bar, no problems. As soon as I flick my eboost street to my other setting (20psi) it does this...

Does anyone have any ideas or solutions? Workshop is telling me that i need new actuators... All pipes are tight, no leaks whatsoever.

Runs like a champ on 16psi, but cant get it to run properly or boost properly on 20 psi. Keeps giving me that flick back

Any feedback or advice greatly appreciated. Cheers

Hey peter.

Nah still got it capped at 7k and the occasional 7.5. I really want a midrange street car. Hopefully my next retune with e85 should see that. Lol he can drive my car, but then i'll drive his :P

Yes, I was using hks intake pipes. My turbo's didn't like them. It would cause them to stall/shuffle. Went back to standard got a retune. Never had another issue again.

the irony that the HKS turbos didn't like the HKS intake pipes...

and all for HKS price too :P

However, I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't something tune related that wasn't solved upon the retune?

    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
