would a broken actuator lead to 30 less bhp and about 80lbs less torque?!

Will fitting a -34 actuator to my t3 in the view of when i get a bigger turbo i'l need to upgrade the actuator ananyway effect the performance on my current t3?
Cheers
Luke

 

I alwasy thought T34 was toos trong for t3 or stg1...

 

-34 u mean mate? I dont mind getting replacing the standard -31 but seems stupid if next season i'l need a -34 anyway. But if its to strong for stage 1 looks like i'l have to get a -31.

Can anyone please confirm weather a -34 is to strong for a stage 1 t3

 

Wow my post was bad there

I meant -31 yes.

On T34's in the past my tuners used a -31

On my current NMS T34 setup it's a -34.

Get what you need currently and not what you might need.

 

cheers chop. So it will defo be to strong then, just trying to save 70quid!haha

 

Hey Luke, your sort it, the car was nice and smooth tho! Good to meet you today!

 

Sure its not down on power because of unleaded fuel..?... Failing that how's it drive on the road does the boost come in and then disappear or is there no boost atall..?

 

power is still a nice smooth delivery and doesnt feel down on power, thats why i was surprised it only had 235bhp and 200!!!! Lbs torque. The guy said peak boost wasnt reached untill 6.4k revs pmsl

 

Hi james i crap with remembering names. What car did u have then i'l know u straight away!

 

Lol, I had the wrapped focus RS

 

The matt grey one mate?

 

LOL

 

Yes matey

 

Yours made good power mate! And sounded awesome too. I thought people called u jay not james!?

 

Yes mate, everyone calls me J!

 

Ok fellar, i'l look out for u at future events

Hopefully next time u see me my car will be running well again lol. It makes me think how long my actuator has been fucked as its driven like this for years

 

What boost is it running mate..?

 

peaks and holds at 15psi mate

 

Mine did 252 @ peaked 14 psi and held 12..



Edit can anyone tell me what boost it run off this printout..?

 

What did the fake cossie do mate? There must be a motor with more power there then steve's repmobile

 

so if mine holds at 15 then my 268 which it should have been IS realistic

 

Nothing came close! Iirc jay's mk 1 frs got about 350-sounded awesome,

 

Yes should be mate.... Pop ya printout up on here let's have a look.

 

This doesn't make sense, you say it's down on power in the first post, then you say it peak/holds 15psi, which is Stage1 power

If it holds 15 psi it should be 260-270hp yes?

Looks like rsmat's hit 1 bar (14.7psi) at 4500rpm on his graph

 

bloody he'll!

 

mine made 268 at power enginering about ten years ago at 15psi. Its still running 15psi but only made 235 today but a few people said actuator is fucked.

I cant get my graph up mate as im on my mobile but it was a nice smooth power curve but didnt peak untill 6.5k revs.

 

So dose it still hold 15psi luke?

 

^^^ This is what I'm trying to get at.

 

Yer thats what i dont understand. Its still making 15psi but not making the power at the wheels. Could it be a drivetrain issue as every now and then i get a strange resinating noise like through the rear beam, i've neve heard anything like it. Im no expert so havent got a clue. I got my mechanic looking at it next week but it would be nice to have an idea of the problem.

As big steve said when it was on the rollers it sounded spot on and sounded like it was 260easy

 

I already said it holds and peaks at 15psi im doubting myself now so im going to check lol

 

I'm not doubting you, just doesn't make sense for it to be low on power and holding the boost it should!

 

If you have any doubt, get another boost gage on there to double check. whos chip is in there? Woryh checking the fuel pressure too. if you cant get someone local to have a look il a couple of weeks for you.

 

Cheers mate, i got my mechanic checking it out when he fits my brakes and polybushes. I'l ask him to check actuator first as thats the first thing he said. Im not sure what chip, all i know is power enginering converted it to stage 1 and i got a printout of the figures from when it was done

 

Yer its confusing me to mate. I think the engine is still running like it should but there's a prob with the drivetrain??

 

Cheers Luke
