Hey guys,

Now that I've started exercising properly again my wrist (fractured+plate due to being hit by a car on my motorcycle years ago) has started getting irritated, to the point where days after exercising my whole arm will be aching.

It's been hurting more often just in general so I'm thinking it would be a good idea to get it consistently looked after.

Can anyone recommend a good physio in this area?

Chuuurs.

Marginally off-thread JEPPE, I wouldn't discount an acupuncturist who's a member of the AAA. Such practitioners are consulted by football teams to shorten recovery time.

So if the physio has given you limited improvement,......

its hard to find a physio that doesnt do the token treatment these days. They will do a little bit of assessment, rub it a bit, use an ultrasound on it and then TENS machine with either hot or cold.

If you can find someone that doesnt just go through the motions and do that then youll be better off. Unfortunently I cant recommend anyway in your area as im from canberra...

How about an Osteo?

I have a very good one just near me. They aren't just for backs etc :)

I found better improvements there than going to the local physio - who has all sorts of sporting team accolades from Olympic teams etc.

You can buy your own TENS machine these days for not that much $$. Add in some research on exercises and the physio service doesnt really cut the mustard.

Id suggest you try Terrys suggestion & give accupuncture a go. You may very well find it extremely helpful.

Hey, I'm after an Osteo (I reckon a bad osteo is better than most physio or chiro's)..

Send me the details!!

Kathy at Good Sport Physio in Deakin is awesome, she doesn't just do the typical stuff...

As for acupuncture, some physios are also doing dry needling now, if you can find a physio that does that (similar to acupuncture) than that is a good idea, a lot of physios are trained in more than one modality these days so if you can find one like that than I would give them a go...

Thanks everyone. Ash can you plug please?

Will check out Kathy and research some acu, as long as they allow it to be covered by TAC then I'll try anything and everything... at the same time! (not really)

a physio is a good idea. Go there with some requirements ; 1) manage the present injury /soreness. 2) get a set of recovery and strength movements for that arm.

You likely have underlying muscle / tendon weakness from the damage you sustained from the accident. Recovery to 'normal function' so you can do office work etc. doesn't reveal the strength differences between the two arms.

My guess is you are experiencing tendonitis from exceeding what that arm can handle by giving it the same loads and work that your good arm is doing when doing weights. This makes perfect sense.

What you can do is focus on movements for wrist and grip strengthening for that arm, once it's not sore. This will see you right in a few months. The good arm will not be doing anything while you are training the strength back into the bad one. the goal is to have an equal strength in both (bad arm is playing catch up).

So don't do things like bicep curls and other movements that will load the forearm muscles until you have it right.

If there is no permanent damage to tendons in the arm , then there should be a good chance you will be back to normal in no time.

      Link G4X GTTLink questions, MAP Boost Solenoid

      By shortyboy · Posted

      Thank you for explaining. Makes more sense now. I saw that diagram but wasnt sure if the MAC solenoid would use the same plumbing. So I just did what the stock looked like. Ill get that fixed. As for MAP sensor, When I place vacuum line from MAP to stock location vac reference ( port by BOV flange ) the car runs like crap. I think the port is clogged or something, cause when I moved the MAP line to plenum and connected the BOV to that line, I get compressor surge. This is why I moved MAP vacuum line to plenum where BOV is. Where can I T the MAP vacuum? Sources Ive read said to let MAP vacuum be its own and not to T.

      You've done it wrong. I don't have time right now to type up enough. I'll have to come back to it or maybe someone else will in the meantime. The boost signal has to pass through the MAC valve from boost source (turbo outlet - effectively anywhere between the turbo outlet and the throttle body will do, but closer to the turbo outlet is best) to the wastegate. What you have done is connected it sort of like the stock solenoid. But it doesn't work the same way as the stock solenoid. That Tee piece that you have connected the solenoid to....? The solenoid itself serves that function. You should look up a typical MAC valve connection diagram for a single turbo internal wastegate application. You'll find one easily enough. Every single boost controller manufacturer that uses MAC valves will have one. Bugger it, I'll just grab the HP Academy one. The other thing you have to get right is that the boost source has to be connected to the correct port on the solenoid valve. This is because the solenoid makes the valve switch from connecting 2 of the ports when it is unpowered, to connecting one of those first 2 ports to the third port when it is powered. One inlet, two outlets. You will note from the diagram that the common port is port 3, the port to the wastegate is port 2, and port 1 is the vent (where the boost signal escapes when the solenoid pulses ON). As to the BOV.... the vacuum signal for the BOV simply has to come from the plenum. It must register boost when you're on boost and vacuum when the throttle is closed. That's all. The original location on the plenum is best. Best practice is never to interfere with the vacuum line running to the FPR. Just leave that one alone, as you will avoid causing unintended problems that might occur if you mess something up.

      I was able to complete installation of the G4X ecu. I needed to reroute MAP vacuum signal from stock location to where BOV is connected on the intake plenum. Has anyone needed to do the same? When I connect vac port by the BOV flange to my HKS BOV, it doesnt work and I get flutter. I would to get BOV working, where would it be best to T in? Or would it best for me to move MAP vac line and T into FPR? Secondly, I installed a MAC 3 port boost solenoid and wanted to know if i routed it correctly. I place two lines from stock boost solenoid and placed it on ports 1 and 2, leaving 3 vented. The T for wastegate and boost source on compressor elbow is on port 2, and port 1 is connected to turbo inlet intake pipe. Please see attached pictures. Ill upload ecu config later today. Thanks in advance.
