trying to get a .8bar spring for my wg, ar tail ones the same or where will i get one?

[starletburkie]

anyone know if the springs are interchangeable?

[jakeep82]

i think tial ones are the same mate dont quote me on it though

[starletburkie]

cheers mate! having awful problems with boost atm with it opening at .85bar one time and at one bar the next min! if i run much gain it fluctuates all over the place with a .6bar spring in it atm, had it all spot on holding a full bar through out the revs and now its tempermental lol had to bring the gain back down

ah electronic boost controllers are a pain ive just got mine sorted after over a year lol

[starletburkie]

never had any problems with a hks act lol

[jakeep82]

true !! what ebc do you have ?

[starletburkie]

Blitz dsbc id dc!

[jakeep82]

got a link to it mate i have a blitz sbc id dont know whether settings will be same ?

I'm 99% sure the springs are the same mate, or can be interchangeable.

Not a fan of the Blitz DSBC units, I had a solenoid fuck up on me and wouldn't control boost at all, kept overboosting.

[starletburkie]

They work by percentage so may not be far off deending on what setup you have mate! Google the dc version! There quite rare!

May try a .8 bar spring and see what happens!

[AdamB]

Ay mate I know how they work, but even at like 5 boost pressure and 0 gain it would overboost past 1.2 bar lol. Chucked it in the bin in the end, a new solenoid was worth about as much as a whole new EBC.

[starletburkie]

So you rekon its the solinoid that's fucked? Had it out this mornin and with the gain up it would spike to 1bar go back to .9 and creep upto a bar up the revs

[starletburkie]

gain would be set at 10 gain and 25 gain for example now, wasn't fluctuating today it was just a quick spike, very funny how it does change what it does

[AdamB]

What turbo is this one mate? I wouldn't say the solenoid is fucked if your able to control it to some extent. Probably just needs fine tuning, remember the colder weather will have an effect as well.

[starletburkie]

td04 mate! drove home from work there and it was spot on! 1 bar through the revs wtf like lol

[AdamB]

Seems to have a mind of its own! I'd probs drop the gain down a couple of points mate and see how it goes.

[starletburkie]

If I drop down the gain the wg opens too soon and boost creeps! I can get it to hold a bar spot on at 24% gain! I'll be driving it later I'll see how it goes

[AdamB]

You shouldn't get creep with a lower gain, it should only creep if the gain is set too high. When its too low it will just take a little longer for the wastegate to open, meaning a tad more lag.

[starletburkie]

I fully understand that mate, with gain at 10% it opens at .85bar and creeps up to a bar up the revs, with gain at 24% it opens at a bar and holds spot on! What I don't get is when it fluctuates when it decides to take a mood swing lol

Anyone confirm the springs are the same? Will tial/ ebay 38mm wastegate springs fit in a turbosmart gate?

[_shaun_]

i have a ebay jobby fitted to mine now. i just measured the turbo smart spring and emailed a company asking if they had any 1.2 bar springs with a diameter of blah blah
