INTRODUCTION

Hey guys,

I'm new to the world of turbos, but I'm not one to do anything half-assed. So my first engine swap is the RB26DETT into my S13. I hope you guys can accept a Skyline wannabe like me, as this is the only place I wanna be. Yes I know the supposed impossibilies and money factors, however I'm working with my friends who have done some real firsts out there, and we're doing all the work ourselves.

Money, that's what a lot of this comes down too. I've got over US$6000 dropped into this little prodject. All well spent dollars mind you, a lot of hybrid swapping and some used parts. Every dollar saved here and there, adds up to one more performance part or overlooked swap item I need.

Thanks for reading, I hope to tell you guys more about how I'm doing over here. This is a pretty rare swap, I will probably be the only one for 100s of miles with any RB in their Silvia, let alone the 26

QUESTION:

Okay, here's the very, very simple question I have to ask:

I am missing the tubing from the actuator on the turbos and obviously whatever controller that was operating them from the firewall.

? How do the actuators work, and what would happen if I didn't hook anything up to them. Can a bleeder valve (spring and ball type) work in this situation.

I am obviously going to be getting an EBC in the future; however, if it's something I can do without for a while then that's a few 100 bucks saved in case something breaks during the swap.

THANKS

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.
