cashrolling Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Hi, I just got a ep82. It looks pretty much stock, but when I drove it I felt something different from my old starlet gt that was completely stock. The turbo spools slower but it pulls pretty hard all the way from 5000 rpm to redline, and its only reading 7psi boost. I feel like the turbo is an hybrid or something being modified, as im no expert I took some pics so I can get some expert opinion.The stock boost solenoid is not connected as well, the pressure hoes goes from the wastegate to the turbo.......

Glanza-Ben Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 That's one hell of a home made adjustable actuator the turbo looks stock Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cashrolling Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 lol, so could I turn up the boost to stock hi 9.5psi by tightening the actuator rod? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bucketep91 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 No! U will hit fuel cut if u run anymore than .8 bar (ish) stock manifold on there too, which has a nasty restrictor in the 3rd runner. Have a look at some build threads and wiki section for more info. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cashrolling Posted October 5, 2013 Author Share Posted October 5, 2013 can the different wastegate-actuator that's on it cause the boost to come up later in the rpm? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MARC MOSS Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 To be honest id take that off an source an oem one straight away. I might even have one in the depths of my garage can have if you send me the postage gimme a pm to remind me and I will look it out tomorrow.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whitenoize Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I'd get that actuator off asap mate it looks like part of a push bike brake cable lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cashrolling Posted October 6, 2013 Author Share Posted October 6, 2013 lol, yeh, coming out as soon as I source one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MARC MOSS Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 As I pm'd dude I wanna share this with my brothers........Do u think that the boost is taking time to build and then the car pulls well after 5000rpm is possibly due to the wastgate not being closed due to the bizarre actuator ? That would explain the full boost up the rev range and the lag below Quote Link to post Share on other sites
