advice with boost after fitting hks actuator.
t-j-wilson Glanza V replied to philpott's topic in Intake, Turbo & Exhaust
Yeah they're meant too as the stock springs become week/stretched over time. I'm not too sure why changing that has made your boost go all over the place if everything before was okk? How old is the actuator? If its second hand the spring could be a fubard and not opening/closing the wastegate properly -
advice with boost after fitting hks actuator.
t-j-wilson Glanza V replied to philpott's topic in Intake, Turbo & Exhaust
Do you have relocated air filter to front grill? If soo it could be boost creep as the wastegates not allowing the gases out as quick as the air is sucking in? You can either port your wastegate which i did using a dremmel... and getting a boost controller will help stabalize it so you can set it to certain bar/psi you wish too. Not 100% if this is correct from just fitting an actuator but i'm sure someone else with more knowledge will confirm/not confirm -
Good luck although im hoping you don't truthfully . I don't want you sell up! We've had some laughs with them ! Afternoon bump

Hey, As the title says really. I get a knocking noise whilst going round roundabouts, and right turns in genera (coming from left side only)l. I've had a loook around and seems like my track rod ends are worn. Would this be causing the problems? What else is there you can suggest for me to check? I also noticed that my disc isn't held on to the hub at all, untill the wheel goes on and locks it. Is this normal, there looks to be a hole for a bolt to go through in the disc, but nothing on the hub itself? Many thanks Ps , where would be best/cheapest to buy a set of track rod ends? I want t

Ollie - Were they the green ones you had in your garage? i'll try find the picture in your build thread, what page is it? and i'll take it in and tell him you want colour change with diff colour lip. Billy SR - Yeah if you chuck a picture up we can have a look. I think it'd be best if you did have another set of wheels, or could leave the car with us. We'd most likely have them ready for the next day? -

I took my clocks apart today and replaced one of the LED bulbs as it was blown. As i took the temperature needle off to get the dials out i dropped it behind the dash and can't find it... So i need one of these if anyone has one laying about (It's an orange needle) ? I also think my fuel gauge is now set incorrect, as its reading low, but no fuel light has come on. Does anyone know the best way of puting the needles back on in the correct positions (temp and fuel)?? Help would be appreciated, i hate having little niggly things like that wrong with my car Thanks alot , Tobie

Small updates, and MOT day! 15/06/2011 - Got my manifold back and fitted it in the evening after work. It actually ended up going to Maclaren in Chertsey to be skimmed as a family friend machines parts for the race cars. Seemed to have sorted the problem (maybe a minute blow) but gonna wait too see if the carbon etc blocks it up... 17/06/2011 - Got my new Toyo Proxes fitted ready for the MOT. One wheel got slightly damaged as they've been refurbed using wet paint, not powdercoat or two pack... Such a difference made, probably the best noticable performance gain! . 18/06/2011 - MOT DAY. -
Same boat as me mate, i found one for £315 delivered from Hong Kong. But im thinking of getting one from Ebay and just getting the custom hot pipe from RWdevelopments when his are ready... ?

Yoo, not much of an update really, kind of going backk again - too go forward My Zisco mild steel manifold was blowing like an absolute bitch, the noise it was making was soo frustrating. As my car now has no MOT it gave me some time to sort it outl. So i finished work and cracked on with taking the manifold, turbo, and downpipe off this evening. Heres some pics of doing it : and some of how much it is out by: Taking it to an engineering shop so they can machine it flat, it's about an 8th of an inchh. Alos new Toyo Proxes T1R's arrived Wednesday after only ordering them Monday -

Why are all the numbers exactly the same on both? Or does every 4EFTE ECU have the exact same numberss? I'll have a look on the weekend for any other wires, but from what i remember it looks like theres no added... :S -

t-j-wilson Glanza V replied to t-j-wilson Glanza V's topic in Intake, Turbo & Exhaust
Hey guys, Still haven't figured this one out yet, although i haven't tried another gauge yet.. I will do, just haven't had time and the car's of thee road as it has no MOT so want to sort this while i can. The only other thing i could think of apart from that was an anftermarket ECU. I was looking through the classifides section, and saw LukeEp had a Blitz access ECU for sale. I can kind of remember it looking very similar to mine, ( although im not sure what standard 'should' look like). So i went and grabbed a picture off mine to compare with his : LukeEp hope you don't mind me using your -
Camskill or TMD Kit?? :S I'm sure if its advertised it will come in both kitss..
