theminiguru Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 fitted a hks actuator on my glanza and lost my low boost! is this normal after fitting one or can i have hi and low boost like the standard actuator.also im not 100% sure ive plumbed the pipes right. if anyone could send me pictures, would be really helpful.if my engine management light comes on when im flooring it, does it mean i am hitting fuel cut and ive set it too high.thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 yeh... you remove the 2 mode setup by fitting one....but your boost will be way more stable!dont worry youve prolly done it right if the engine mangment light comes on, then your close to fuel cut, you may find if you keep pusing it you'll actually then hit fuel cut and you'll get the shock of your life Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Johnny Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 The Hks one removes the two stages of boost, so you just have one set boost from the actuator. You can adjust it.I had the same problem with mine, as soon as i did it, starting hitting fuel cut. Standard Ecu learned, but after i fitted a Blitz Nur spec it because of the size tubing in the exhaust, always keeps hitting it now.If you get a boost controller,that will help setting up your boost Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 If you notice the standard actuator has 2 ports where as the HKS has one, the one port was for the HI/LO boost solenoid.There is a way of T peicing the vacuum lines to keep the HI/LO solenoid working im sure but I dont see the point tbh if you want to save fuel just dont hit boost, simples Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lukew360 Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I'm planning on fitting mine soon, what do you do with the low boost pipe that comes off the standard actuator? Block it off or leave it open?Sorry to high jack! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Stick a screw or something in it or you will get a vacuum leak I removed the complete solenoid but its different on the GT so wouldnt know what to do on a Glanza as the solenoid is different. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
