Hmmm...... HKS Actuator set at 14psi (1 bar) minimum on a stock turbo which is over 12 years in use might not be a good idea. Might even blow the turbo in 10mins. lol

Who said it was on a standard turbo?

And 14psi is not quite 1 bar, its .95, which is alot when you want 1 bar.

If you look at my initial post, i did mention i want to tune the hks adjustable to stock settings as i have a bad actuator hence i am asking these questions. Sorry if 14psi is not 1bar. I just round the figure up. So it's confirmed, Hks actuator is factory preset at 14psi minimum hence i cannot use it on a stock turbo as i cannot tune it below 14psi. I was hoping to get it down to like 7psi or so.

3) If you mean that it wont go under 14psi, when i first put mine on it was at 10psi, i did not try to put it lower as i wanted more boost but i cant see why you could not drop it by a few psi.

Even if it wont go below 10psi that is still safe for a standard turbo.

Scratch that last question. I forgot that you weren't using it on a stock turbo. lol

Im using it on a high flow with a vg30 rear, but i dont remember, best way to do it is just put it on and make sure there is tension on it and take it for a spin, either you or a passenger keep and eye on it if it starts to go to high pull over and adjust it.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
