jimjom Posted September 23, 2007 Posted September 23, 2007 hi i've just brought a 2nd hand rebuilt CT9B turbo and have fitted it to my ep82.i have a full blitz nur spec system inc a de-cat pipe, a FCD, blitz front mounted intercooler, blitz air filter and running it on a standard turbo which boosted up to 1bar of boost!now that i have fitted the CT9b turbo its running at over 1.5bar! which aint going to do my turbo or engine any good!!! The CT9b turbo that i recieved didn't come with an actuator so i put my orignal one onto the new turbo but i think that it maybe too short and holding the waste gate closed! i was wondering if anyone knows if there is a different length in the actuator between the two turbos?any help would be great thanks!!

keirz Posted September 23, 2007 Posted September 23, 2007 best bet is an hks actuator mate. it can be adjusted to the boost you require then. check out tobys store toy tuning on here. Quote

keirz Posted September 23, 2007 Posted September 23, 2007 forgive me if im being stupid though jay but, i thought the reason its over boosting may due to the fact that its a better performing turbo. but your probely right. hks actuator cant hurt though. Quote
paul w Posted September 23, 2007 Posted September 23, 2007 I would've thought the pipes from the actuator ain't on properly,but thats irrelevant now because you've probably damaged something running 1.5 bar! Quote
keirz Posted September 23, 2007 Posted September 23, 2007 ok cool mate. i wasnt doubting your knowledge as i know its far superior to mine on the issue of starlet turbos. Quote
jimjom Posted September 23, 2007 Author Posted September 23, 2007 thanks guys 4 the help i've managed to sort it now!the problem was the securing clip on the rod from the actuator to the wastegate and was stopping it from opening fully!As i only ran it for a couple of sec's at 1.5bar it doesn't seem to have done any damage to the engine or the turbo thank god!!Its good to know that there are people out there with the same car and are willing to help with any problems that may arise!!

Glanza_Ragger Posted September 23, 2007 Posted September 23, 2007 It will merely help it boost quicker with the extra fin.1.5bar .. oopsy ;) Check youre vacums to and from the turbo / actuator.One will either be split, not tight etc causing the boost to keep going.You might be lucky if it only hit 1.5 a couple times for a split second.Dont be running it like that though bud.
