Wipeout Posted August 22, 2003 Author Share Posted August 22, 2003 As i thought, Scooter was unaware of this mod. Anyway, im still not convinced i have successfully restored it to sequential setup. The actuator does move in and out with engine revs but it is'nt alot and i did rev it high. Can anyone local to Fareham help?? Or does someone have a detailed list of things to check, test or look out for. Thanks again!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 i hope you get this sorted Chris. Now you 'Know where I live' so to speak i may as well come clean on a couple of points i would omitt from my sales patter I have run at pod and it did respectable standard car times, so i don't think theres any problem with the cars power, so should hopefully be a relatively simple hose VSV problem. Bobbeh if only i'd whacked it on the rolling road in Alyesbury way back! Thing is the guy i got the car from had had it for +2 years, and he just wasn't the modding type AT ALL, he'd had the major cambelt service done at McCarthys Toyota (where i'm sure it would have got a test drive) and also i'd had a oil leak repair (+general check over) done at Leon's,maybe it's not that noticeable unless you step from one to the other:conf: I'm still finding it mildly amusing / annoying that i've never experienced the normal setup.

Ibrar Jabbar Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Originally posted by 400BHP If it was done 'properly' then the actuator at the back of the turbo assembly will be wired open... I have a similar problem on my UK spec which had the TTC mod already done. I have replaced all pipe work on x2 VSV to normal and after a few checks it looks as if the actuator doesn't move!! Is there any pointers as to where the actuators may have been wired/wedged open? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
400BHP Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Just look at the actuator rod, if its retracted into the actuator then the valve is open, it would have some wire to secure it open if the mod was done properly, i use the term properly very loosely.

When it says 'wired' open, it literally mean with a bit of wire. You should be able to see it wound round the arm holding the butterfly valve open. On my bottom actuator (exhaust valve) I disconnected the actuator arm and locked open the valve. With the top on I had a spare pipe and completely removed the butterfly valve.

Is there anything else I should check for? I will test the pressure tank tommorow to see if that could be causing the problem. thanks for the replies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
