sosolid Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 ok so i shortened the length of my actuator to 119mm which is about 1.2bar according to a website. but now its too short and wont connect to the turbo wastegate arm. What do i do? does anyone know the actial length to get over a bar of boost? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WallaceGlanza Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Pull it! It should be tensioned to keep the flap shut it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sosolid Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share Posted April 26, 2015 well what i done is install the end of the actuator on first then bolted the two bolts on the turbo and it is reallly tightttt lol hope its ok as i measured it at 121mm which is about 1 bar according to this site :- http://dub-se7en.toyotagtturbo.com/useful_info/OTHER_PDFS/hksactuator.pdf Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patman Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I personally think that site is off, and not accurate at all, the only way in knowing it's right is with a good boost gauge (not these shit cheap ones you get on eBay where the needle bounces around like its on crack) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sosolid Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share Posted April 26, 2015 but surely there has to be a set length? it cant change for everyone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patman Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I agree mate reason I said it was I set my hks actuator at 128mm (standard boost) and it was well out I didn't even have boost, so I just think the only other way to do it is set the actuator so it just clips on the wastegate and go from there using 3rd 4th gear (not sure about 5th) to get the boost reading on boost gauge, then shortening the actuator every two turns till you get the boost you want, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 the set amount in mm will differ from turbo to turbo to get same boost levels what you do it loosen it so the actuator is just about to clip on the turbo then shorten it 5mm take it for a spin and adjust acordingly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattyD Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Should have set it the same length as the original actuator and gone from there Quote Link to post Share on other sites
