Fro Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Ace thread. This car almost had me buy a set of those rota track R`s, car looked amazing on them.You got any more pics or info on your actuator bracket? I had such a fuck about with mine and am 90% sure its not going to work! Im using the subaru actuator though but if your bracket was easy enough i might change mine!

Taggy Posted March 2, 2011 Author Share Posted March 2, 2011 It took about an hour to make up the bracket, but it fits quite well. I used the same bracket of my HKS which was used on my CT9 turbo. Didnt need any welding or cutting, i just drilled two extra holes to get it to fit properly.I will get a picture of it for you tomorrow Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fro Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Pictures of bracket added i made up from original CT9 turbo HKS mount.Quality, cheers for the pics. You reckon the wastegate will be able to open far enough since it will pull the arm at a bit of angle when it opens yeah? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Taggy Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 Its cock on straight when its bolted up, so the actuator pushes the wastegate arm in a straight line. I have pulled on the actuator when its connected and it feels like it will open it enough.I wont know until i rolling road it though, it shouldnt be long, ill let you know how i get on!Quality, cheers for the pics.

Taggy Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 Yeah i have been wondering what to do with that, the only problem is that i find it a pain in the ass reading peoples build threads when its spread out over 30 pages of posts, you cant find anything.It loads quite quick on mine though, does it load slow on everyone elses?I hate the way you update your build, gotta wait for all the pictures to load from slowbucket on page 1 ;) Great work though dude, love the effort going into this ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
