wot actuators on it m8

 

a big 1 its an alloy 1 on the car at the mo i have a new 1 thats a 31. and the 1 on the car is loads bigger ?the rod on the 31 was on my standered turbo witch i replaced and was ment to be runnin 12 psi ? but the rod is shorter on the 31 than the 1 on the car. it was hitin 20 psi the dropin to 14psi so i adjusted the rod on the acurator on the car and its now holdin the above it felt flat before but now feels a bit better its in for a tune in 2 weeks time but if its summin fooked id like to change kit before the tune hope this helps

 

Is it just me or did anyone else not understand a fooking word he just said?

 

try the -31 cos thats wot ive got on mine and it hits and holds 22 psi no probs

other then that it maybe be turbo a little bit tired hope this helps

 

the turbo isnt that old i hope its not that
my worry is that on the -31 i have is new and was only on the car for 10seconds and blew up and the rod is shorter so it will pre loaded is this ok ?
the rod on the acurator on the car at the mo fits stright on and u dont have to pull on the rod to get it to fit is this right ?
cheers for help so far rsmat
ive edited the post for u thrush hope its to ur likein no

 

as from my exsperiance if theres hardly eny preload then theres never much boost so if u but the -31 on wiv preload be carefull and do a boost cheak straight away but watch 4 it pinkin and try that if its to much boost jst wind abit off untill its ok

 

ill have a try 2 morro could the 1 on the my car at the mo be a -34 ?

 

not sure m8 without seeing it maybe

 

ill change the acurator 2morro and see if i can get it to hold and hit 18 psi then when the old 1 is off ill get a pic and post it thanks for help m8
the coont is that i had it off today and just wound it out a turn and put it back on i was so close to fittin the -31

 

ok m8 no probs will take a look 4 ya 2 moz

 

i had this problem what it is because u are setting ur boost on the actuater, witch is altering the preload. what u need to do is screw the actuater rod bk, then set the boost by either, bleed vavle, or using the amal valve. I pulled my rod out to make 16psi. but then it was dropping of to 12psi, so karl norris told me what to do,. now it hold 15 all the way. take the rod all the way bk, well not all the. hope this helps if that doesent work, actuater spring may have gone week.

 

Yeah I was gonna say about preload, but not entirely sure how that shit works so thought I'd wait till someone else said it

Still don't know how preload shit works

 

ive now fitted the -31 on it it now hits about 19 and drops to 14psi but it pre loaded alittle bit not a gr8t deal i was always told bleed valves r a bad thing ?
how can u adjust the amel valve ?

 

If your are loosing boost doesn't that mean you might have a leak somewhere ie split pipe?

Cheers

ive changed it now and fitted the bleed valve its now boostin to about 17psi and holdin 16psi ok pull alot better and everthin top lot
how many ppl use a bleed valve ?

 

i use 1 m8 4 simply fact is i dnt av to get under car every time i wanna mess wiv boost and the fact ppl think there bad is becoz ppl get carried away wiv the bleedvalve and end up killin the engine

 

ill check the fuelin to morro to make sure theres enough thanks for the input every 1 cheers mat
