amatthews45 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Hey everyone Well everyone knows I am new to these cars and my mind thinks crazy things all day long. I know the standard ct9 comes with a duel port actuator I not sure how it works and that tbh. But I know there are duel port actuators out there could one be modified to fit so I can keep the higher boost but also keep the function of the high/low button. Atm my car has a hks set at 0.9 bar Has anyone done this and made it work? Reason I ask is becsuse I wish to get a plug and play ecu but run the bigger boost to achive the best power for my standard block. Thanks in advance Alec Quote Link to post Share on other sites
russ78 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 (edited) you could use stock dual port actuator by putting washers on the bolt infront of actuator bolt hole to move the actuator further back thus retaining stock actuator but increasing boost marginally Edited August 2, 2014 by russ78 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
amatthews45 Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 Thats a good idea Curious to hear what people have done regards to wanting more boost but wish to keep the high and low button I cant be the only 1 who has wished to keep the button Quote Link to post Share on other sites
karl. Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I always thought about this too. Would it not just be a matter of cutting the end of the standard actuator and gettting it threaded so as it became adjustable? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
amatthews45 Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 http://pages.ebay.com/motors/link/?nav=item.view&id=160593578903&alt=web Making this fit would be epic! My next question would be how the bloody hell you plumb it in without the efi pipe? Lol!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dean_mc88 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 surely more hassle than its worth , get an hks one with a boost controller Quote Link to post Share on other sites
amatthews45 Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 Got a hks on the car dean Just like the idea of keeping the stock button to toggle it on and off depending on the trip Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dean_mc88 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Just get a boost controller with different settings and put that in its place with hi low settings Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dean_mc88 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Or thread the standard rod making it adjustable simple solution Quote Link to post Share on other sites
amatthews45 Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 Hmmm Might just find a blank to get rid of the low boost button would hate to see a useless button haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dean_mc88 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I put mine in and plugged it all up when I put a standard interior in even though I removed everything from the engine bay lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
amatthews45 Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 Hey guys old thread of mine but I spotted this online when looking for a boost controller with a external switch. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=261384925130&alt=web Reckon I could make this work with the stock switch?

akyakapotter Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Why not get a jam actuator 0.6 low and 1 bar high Quote Link to post Share on other sites
amatthews45 Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 Wont work with standard ecu and controller will it? With the turbo smart on a rocker switch I could hook up to the standard switch easy enough. I have a hks acutator atm on the car Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WallaceGlanza Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 If you use the t piece that comes with the HKS actuator then the stock hi lo boost solenoid is retained.... so what's the issue?! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
amatthews45 Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 Oh well It was on the car when I bought it but can pick up tpeice bo problem. Still standard boost or is it a little more? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan_EP82 GT Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 The hks actuators are adjustable so you set it to your own boost level. I run .8bar hi an .6 lo with the stock boost solenoid so it can be done pretty easy, as WallaceGlanza said use a t-piece and your sorted Quote Link to post Share on other sites
amatthews45 Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 Ok wallace where the t piece go? What will boost be set at? Was hoping to keep high at 0.8 or under Ryan thats amazing! So where does the tpeice go? Pictures would be massive help! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan_EP82 GT Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Ile get you a pic today bud leave it with me. From memory the one coming from the boost solenoid splits to both actuator ports. So its basically goes between the two ports, the third outlet runs to the solenoid..make sense? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WallaceGlanza Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 This guide shows the diagrams from the original HKS manual...http://dub-se7en.toyotagtturbo.com/useful_info/OTHER_PDFS/hksactuator.pdf There's also a little brass restrictor which is meant to go in the vacuum line between the actuator and turbo nipple.

amatthews45 Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 Wallace I read the manual and its stumped me haha. Ryan it makes no sense normally good with this kinda sruff haha. Pictures would be a huge help Quote Link to post Share on other sites
amatthews45 Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 Can anyone supply any pictures then? Atm my silicone hoses are a mess. My hks is hooked onto the nipple on the turbo. And my Inlet pipe is loose. I run no dump valve or efi pipe so whats the best way for me please? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan_EP82 GT Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I run no dump valve or efi pipe and have a td actuator and the solenoid works mate. It takes me years to upload pics on this too have you facebook? I realised I wrote a pile of pish the first time explaining ithis ill try again lolcut the bit of hose between your hks port and turbo nipple in the middle, put the tee piece here, and run a line to the bottom port of the boost solenoid, leave the top port open. Then just a case of adjusting actuator so when on hi you dont hit fuel cut Quote Link to post Share on other sites
amatthews45 Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 Right so thats where the t peice goes! So how does the car know about low boost? Look for me on facebook I am alex matthews wont be hard to find at all Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WallaceGlanza Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 The diagram in the HKS manual shows how it goes pretty clearly... The line from the tee runs straight to the stock solenoid and the other side of the solenoid just vents into the inlet, the boost is varied by the solenoid venting more boost which opens the actuator less and hence gives more boost. However if you have a glanza don't use the stock solenoid as it restricts the boost in 1st and 2nd gear even on the high setting, which is shit! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
