Hey ppls.

I want the boost to hit a bit harder now.

I have the PowerFC in and tuned, but I want the wastegate closed longer to allow faster spool.

I'm not sure if this can be done with the Boost control kit...

Does anybody know if you can, and how??

PS. I have an RB20 actuator.....

All help appreciated.

Can be done, but only relative to the natural spool speed of the fan... ie from off boost to .7bar will not change. Only the duty cycle will change the boost trend, and will only soften the natural ramp speed... you cannot do more than keep the waste gate shut until required boost is reached.

Hope this makes sense (Big night in Pattaya Bars makes brain hurt)

Good Luck

"you cannot do more than keep the waste gate shut until required boost is reached."

That's exactly what I want to do.

What setting do I modify to do it?

I don't want it to overshoot.

Your best bet is to re-spring your waste gate actuator, with a stronger spring, to stop it opening so easy, allowing it to spool for longer. As the stock Rb20 Is around 7 - 10psi with stock spring, from memory... bumping it up to 12 - 14 will help.

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
