Steve GT Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Right after being convinced the problem to the shite boost was down to the standard actuator i bought a HKS one and got it fittedGot the old actuator off and yes it was fucked. it was so lose and crap it was unrealgot the new actuator on and set it like the standard one was, took it for a spin and was hitting 0.4 bar stillgave it 5 turns on the pin to shorten it and then it was o.45 ish so gave it another 10 turns and it was at 0.6 bar. now this seemed a lot of turns for such small gains and from what i remember from my black gt it only took a few turns to get the boost a bit higherSo I've taken some pictures (not brill quality as the digital cameras dead) but you can get the general gist of it. What i need from you lovely people is opinions from the pics if the actuators wound too far up for just 0.6 bar of boost cause where it is i think it should be running well moreSorry for the poor quality thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

micky boy Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Hmmmm when i had my old glanza i got my self a HKS actuator and set it at 0.8bar then a few weeks later i took the heat shield off the mani and gess what i had a crack not to bad but enuf to lose boost!!!So i got my self a standard mani and put it on and took the car for a spin and i hit fuel cut straight away so yeah if the mani is blowing get it sorted lol dont forget when it get super hot the crack will expand!!

Steve GT Posted April 30, 2010 Author Share Posted April 30, 2010 i only wanted to run about 0.75 bar anyway cause i hant got a mani, decat, cat back, FMIC or fuel pump yet. when i get all them its going up to 1 bar but as it is theres no way it will reach that high haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
