Forge actuator boost?
Recently purchased a new forge actuator for my vf37
Its currently mapped to 1.5 bar of boost! Now my question is will the spring that comes in the forge actuator hold 1.5 bar of boost or will i have to buy a different spring?? Thanks in advance :) |
From what I've read, most actuators are 1 bar then the boost controller/restrictor pill allow it to open later.
1st thing to do is bolt it on and try it. Make sure you put it on with enough tension to keep the wastegate shut tight. You usually bolt it on then have the hole in the end about half way over the pin, so you need a mitivac or grips to get it onto the arm (assuming its an adjustable arm) |
Thought you was fitting it for me stu :thumb:
You need to book me in for the wideband too |
That's interesting Brad - I've got a VF37 as well.
What was the reason for buying a new actuator? - Also do you have any idea how much power you're making at 1.5 bar? |
Hi lee
I have an annoying rattle on the oe actuator, was told by duncan graham to get a forge one! Car was mapped by duncan last month at rcm Ill upload the dyno graph for you mate |

Hi Brad,
Thanks for the response. Are you happy with that? Also if you don't mind what are your mods? |
That's good figures for a vf37.
|
To be honest not really, dont get me wrong the car feels fast but i want a bigger turbo!
Current mods are H&s downpipe Full 3" exhaust system Japspeed fmic K&n cone 3 port boost solenoid Cdf lightweight pulleys Uprated turbo intake pipe Remap Yes Ian thats what duncan told me, he was shocked! He even had to check the turbo to make sure it was still a vf37 |
Had a good day on the car today got my carbon canards on, one seat in and removed the exhaust and burnt it with a blow torch lol

How did the fitting of the actuator go? Was going to do mine.

Think its easy enough to do though, as far as i know only two bolts and setting the preload on the arm! Duncan said id more than likely need a tweak on the map once its fitted tho so just be careful if you do decide to do it, its not over boosting or something like that after fitting |

what did the rattle sound like? I've got an annoying noise when boosting, sounds like a card in bike spokes. Think it's either the actuator or wastegate flapper Albeit, admittedly, it shouldn't sound very loud from inside the car. One simple test would be to temporarily disconnect the BCS's electrical connector... When you go out in it on (now, raw wastegate) boost, the noise shouldn't be there anymore... But if you CAN still hear it, then yeah, it's something else, obviously. |

That could just be your boost control solenoid rapidly opening and closing - which is entirely normal. It sort of makes that kind of *ticking* sound, I guess. (I can just about hear my own Apexi 3 port one in action).
