Wastegate actuator
 

WTB actuator for external gate TD04 to replace greddy actuator, most any T25/28 actuator should work, probably others too. Preferably with bracket included. Most anything opening pressure is fine, 6-12 psi. I know some of you guys have extra parts from junk turbos laying around. If so, hook it up.

I think I have the actuator you need. You can have it for $10 shipped. It's new Mitsubishi just an extra. I'll send you pics just email and remind me.

cool, as long as it isn't the same can I already have, sounds like a weiner

That the right one?

I'm also looking for a replacement wastegate actuator for my Greddy internal gate on my TD04. I would be curious to know if this one fits for you.

I dunno he never answered me.

Oh

Lazzer, I need it. Please send it my way. :)

If it looks like the right one paypal $10 to lazzer408@yahoo.com

I got them free from Nester. Your just covering my packing and shipping. =)

and I have 4 more of them here..


I'm still working on your insurance claim with UPS too.. they LOST 3 of my packages this week.. I'm extremely impressed.. LOST THEM.. jeez.

I feel your pain man. I try to never use UPS anymore.

What are those actuators? Is it any better than what I got now (stock greddy)? Cuz I can't hold boost to redline....

They are off a big 16g.

When the wg actuator fails it won't open the wg and you'd build too much boost. It could be binding though. Did you check the actuator arm and make sure it's straight going into the actuator? If it's cocked to the side it can stick holding the wg open. Just a though.

Are they still making you jump thru hoops? What happened to that oil line? Did you send it out?

They are supposed to pay out by the end of the month. I had to call a mazda dealer and have them fax a quote for the valve cover.. so i could fax it to ups..

The oil supply line is bent and kinked, I'll send it to you, but you may have to do some repair to make it work.

the greddy wastegate can is weak, i have a helper spring one mine and with my mbc i still can't hold steady boost to redline, right now it goes to 14.6psi it's dropping to around 13psi at about 6000rpm and less by redline. but that actuator you've got pictured there may be difficult to work with since it looks permanently attached to that bracket and the rod has a bend in it where the greddy setup is straight.

It's fused to the bracket.

FM has a replacement, IIRC it's sold as a universal and doesn't have any funky bracketry. I think it's rated for 5-7 psi, adjustable.

i've been looking for a decent priced one, will that fm one hold higher boost steady? i don't want to waste money on it if not. I've seen the hks one all over ebay, i think it probably works fine but it's around $100.

Yeah, I'm looking to replace my Greddy actuator with the adjustable one from FM. I'm just hoping it will go on the "Deal of the Day" soon so I can get it for less...

Just a question. Are you guys running the wg line to the intake manifold in hopes to regain that 1lb loss thru the IC? If so that's how your having premature wg failures.

I would think running it to the mani would be a bad idea considering how much vacuum you'd have sucking on the can.

I emailed FM to see if their can would work, they said the only thing is the pin diameter. How big is the pin on the Greddy WG?

no. the wg can just sucks really bad

I've been running off the manifold for over 10K miles with no problems.

It may depend on the quality of the actuator. The diaphragm is cupped like the surround on a subwoofer. Running off the mani causes the cup to invert when under vacuum then pop back under pressure. It cause stress and premature failure of the diaphragm. But to each there own.

anyone got a measurement of the pin on the WG?

If you guys need a wastegate can that can hold high boost,I suggest going to a auto wreckers and find a 1st gen mitsubishi eclipse and use the can off the stock turbo.I'm pretty sure the stock wastegate is set to a 10 or 12 psi minimum.

Well, I saw on the FM deal of the day that they are selling a T25/T28 actuator for $30. I called and asked if it would fit the Greddy and they said, "probably not without welding it." So if you can make it work, it looks like a pretty good deal. Today only.

I don't think so. Mine is about 8psi. Didn't they use some electronic boost modulation to get to 10/12 psi?

That's the FM2 type with the integral bracket. The one I'm trying to figure out is the FM1 style with the straight arm and no bracket.

I suppose I could fab an end for the FM1 style can pretty easily.

I'm not giving FM any money :twofinger
I do have easy access to a torch and a welder, so persuading something to fit is just half the fun.

yes. 1g dsm's have a boost controller from the factory.

Even though the boost is regulated by a electronic boost controller,it's still alot better than the stock greddy one.If you compare the physical size of both wastegates,the one from the DSM is alot bigger.

It's worth a try,you can't loose for the price it can be picked up for.

If a 14b actuator will work, then the ones I have, see pics posted on page 1 should work too.. a 14b and a 16g are externally almost identical.

I have 4 of these units that I will let got for like $10 a piece or whatever...

ben are you still looking for one?

a local guy here (rappadan), got a hold of two old 300zx turbos. it bolted right into postion like the stock wastegate, but the rod needs to be lengthed about 1".

ill let you know how the results are. but i believe he might have a spare.

If it is just a matter of extending the actuator arm, could you use something like this (if you wanted to avoid welding):

They don't specify the threads, but it may be standardized.

not a threaded arm. besides, welding is fun.

cool, let me know whuz up. I can weld it up all ghetto & ugly, grind it, and paint it black.
