I was in until I checked what boost the car was holding (found it was down to mid 16psi) so fiddled with the actuator and broke the arm.

Rewelded the arm and then lost the custom made section that screws on to the actuators arm. :P

Not going to make another for the lazy 1bar actuator.

Picking up a 19psi actuator from MTQ tomorrow but don't like the chances of welding up another custom rod and then giving it a quick street tune in time.

Either way if the car is ready in time or not I'll be there. :D

im still running the 18 actuator,

i took it to shaun on tuesday but when everthing is hot as hell its a joke to even contemplate getting in there.

so i wil change it in a few weeks when i have 2 hands again.

Its all good buddy.

Popped down to MTQ today and checked out the 19psi actuator. The seat pressure felt a tad soft and not much if any more than the 1bar actuator. Testing it she cracked off the seat around 12psi.

I checked out the slightly more expensive 14psi Large can and MFG I can't even lift the thing off its seat.

The larger can has a spring that is a shit load stiffer as the diaphram is larger so more surface area etc etc.

I went with that as it will hold against the flap pushing open much better.

Now to try and squeeze it in. :P

mitch dont be a bitch

put the thing on the dyno

i am sure you have given it shit on the streets

so a dyno run wont hurt

at least you will know how much u pulling without a proper tune

lol u should feel the 25.4 psi one i have

i will bring it with on saturday, if i remember for a show and tell between cars.

no no tune Krishy kindly lent me my old PFC so will run with that and at least crack 210ish should be more cause im trying to wind to boost up safely

unfortunately it was tuned on 10psi so 15psi see's it leaning out a little @ high rpm

anyone know how to road tune :blink:

oh also added 600rpm and it goes like a freight train when boost hits

mitch dont be a bitch

watch your knock count on the hand controller dude.........keep it under 60 when boosting

Steve,

I'd be super careful on 1bar. 1bar 'should' be up around 240rwkwish and the injectors are only 370cc so only good for a little over 200rwkw before they are max'd and afr's start heading north.

On a side note here's my fat actuator. No more boost drop for me :blink:

Its mounted, bracket modded rod shortened etc now just have to cut and weld the screw on section that attaches the wastegate.

yeah will do guys i will double check the boost controller because it was set to the lowest and goes straight to about 15-16 on my gauge but my gauge is inaccurate by about 2psi

so will try it in the other way tomorrow or get rid of it

I could plug in my dataloggit and wideband and go for quick blast if you like?

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
