Jim* Posted September 22, 2013 Author Share Posted September 22, 2013 Bump really need to know if this is right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Thats fine for very low boost levels.nothing wrong or dangerous with that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jim* Posted September 22, 2013 Author Share Posted September 22, 2013 It's only boosting to 0.2 bar but when it hits 5k revs it goes to standard boost .6.With the top pipe removed it will boost straight up but will over boost, any ideas why? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Because you have no control over boost level at all mate.its direct fed so will be super low boost and not boost well,but as i said its not dangerous at all.just very basic Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jim* Posted September 22, 2013 Author Share Posted September 22, 2013 So how do I get it to hit standard boot where it should be? 2.5k Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 U need standard boost controller that comes with car or aftermarket controller. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jim* Posted September 22, 2013 Author Share Posted September 22, 2013 Where is the standard boost controller? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 The car as standard has a hi/lo boost control mate. Just get a good manual one for naw. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Your running a shitty stock actuator... There all ancient and goosed! Buy a HKS actuator, it will hit the boost you set it too and stay there! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jim* Posted September 22, 2013 Author Share Posted September 22, 2013 Thanks for the help lads! Ill try a hks actuator! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jim* Posted September 22, 2013 Author Share Posted September 22, 2013 Anyone got a diagram of how to hook it up to the standard hi/lo boost solenoid Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Pmed you mate a little while ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 You won't need to worry about the hi/lo solenoid, the way you have it setup is fine it will just be in hight boost mode all the time. Will most likely be a weak actuator. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I wont be in high mode whatsoever like that adam.the actuators a good one for sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Yes it will, it goes straight off the comp housing and into the actuator, I used the same setup although on a hks actuator, it just means you can get rid of all the solenoid and gubbins, makes the button useless on the dash but who wants low boost anyway?

mikey4410 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 It wont,the actuators standard.hes not using a hks one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 What difference does that make? It does the same job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 All the difference when the springs.3 or 4 times stronger. He just needs some boost control Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 (edited) Yeah the actuators likely to be the reason it isn't reaching full boost, but the plumbing is correct is what am saying. Its the actuator that does the boost control. Edited September 22, 2013 by AdamB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Plumbings fine ,thats what i said first of all ,but for very low boost. The boost control does the boost control,thats why its called that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Makes no difference what the boost pressure is, can run 2 bar on that kinda setup no problem with the right turbo obviously.You said he needs the standard boost solenoid or an aftermarket controller, the actuator controls the boost pressure, doesn't need anything else, but if Jim wants to increase the pressure then a different method is needed as you can't adjust the stock actuator.

mikey4410 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Okies ,if thats what u think then great.im bored. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jim* Posted September 22, 2013 Author Share Posted September 22, 2013 something isn't right with it because with it set up like that it only runs .2 bar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shorty Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Lol what hes sayin ads is the standard actuator is set too say .2 bar then the oem boost module raises it to the stock levels of .4 on low and .6 high. As you can only raise boost with a control module not lower it so the oem actuator cant run at .6 with out a controller be it oem or after market as they are set low from toyota. Its physicaly impossable for it to run at .6 like that on an oem actuator. Unless it is goosed and the oem module is a restrictor not a controller in which case ads is completly right and it should run .6 like that meaning tje controller is fudged.
