is the word shorten is correct ? i doubt about itOriginally posted by J4X@Jun 3 2004, 10:40 PM
Next, this is the best, you modify the part that actuator rod is connected to. part B.
You shorten part B, say 0.5cm.
If your actuator rod move by 1cm, wastegate will now open to 1.5cm.
At the same time, when your actuator did not move, wastegate will still be closed.
How it works? Assume the part to be like your manual gearbox. Previously you are running at 1st gear, now you are running at 3rd gear. Think.
So what if you overdo part B? Doesn't matter, you already lowered your stock boost. Get a boost controller now to increase your boost.
What if you want to increase the stock boost?
Modify part B, but increase the length.
However,
my only worries is, even when I have open the wastegate(not actuator rod) to the maximum, the boost still cannot go down to 0.3bar because the amount of exhaust flow cannot go through it fast enough.
and if it is true...how to shorten it...elaborate it pls
one more thing u have to know...after shorten the rod, it is not actually goes to 0.5cm or 1.0cm or whatever like that...it is not linear
after shorten the rod, we r actually adjusting the actuator spring pressure rate. when WG is closed..the spring is like being compressed a bit..then after given its standard boost, it cannot fully open the WG cos the spring getting harder and harder to compress..that's all
