Bradz

 

the actuator is the same but the screwing part of the actuator which is connected to the wastegate is differend.

 

cool

i havent be arsed to go and look lol

all i need to know is will i be able to fit the 3dr one to my 4x4 using the original 4x4 part that conects to the wastegate.

bradz

 

as above,the 4x4 rod is longer to connect it to the wastegate but use your 1 and it will fit

cheeRS Guys

bradz

 

No its not

The 4x4 actuator is actually longer with a shorter rod end...

 

LOL


so the 3dr one wont fit

Bradz

 

Il take a piccy actually of the 3 different types as ive wanted to get a snap for ages...

 

Ok,
Actuators, the definitive guide..

Here are three -31 actuators all for Cosworth's.


The one on the left is a 2wd Cossie T3 actuator.

The one in the middle is a 4wd sierra Cosworth T3 actuator.

The one on the right is a 4wd Escort Cossie T34 & T28 actuator.

The lengths are slightly different on all of them and as a result they all have these different rod ends too...



Hope this helps

 

I've learnt something today.

thanks stu,

 

Everyday is a learning day on PassionFord

 

Hey Tiff,

sometimes when it get's very technical in english, I can't(hardly) follow the story.
guy's like rainbird, karl, stu and others experts here can use difficult words.
I have to translate them in dutch.

learning proces every day.

 

Please feel free to ask me to try and explain any words you dont understand, i am more than happy to do so.

I dont know ANY other languages so im amazed how fantastic some of you overseas members can recite English

 

I know what you mean mate, When i go round Karls and starts talking all technical i get lost.................and i speak english

 

Stu and Tiff,

Stu maybe I could learn you dutch if you wan't (now I write the same line in dutch for you)
Stu misschien kan ik jou nederlands leren als je het wilt

joking.

Tiff, a dutch cosworth tuner sometimes uses difficult words. I say to him he have to speak dutch.

best regards,

 

Stu - are those rod ends in the same relative order as the actuators?

 

Sorry.. yes they are Rich

 

I'm actually very good in English IF I may say so myself.
Sometimes I even can't say the words in Dutch but I can say them in English. How scary is that for someone with a Duth mothertongue.

 

ive got the exact same problem here sometimes LOL

 

hi stu, ive put a 4x4 rear housing on my 2wd t3 turbo, when i come to put the actuator on which one do i have to buy( from you of course )is it the 4x4 one???

 

Strange, isn't it Rene.

A m8 of mine over in the UK is always stunned by my knowledge of the English language. I sometimes say words that he doesn't even know off.

 

likewise here m8! sorry for misleading you!

 

did you mislead me?

but you have a nice car
