Do I Need a HD Actuator?

[volvoman]

Just wondering..Stock heads 202 cam 3" exhaust 62mmtb transplus lt1 with extender chip. I got a really good deal on a te-62 new in bag. Can I use a stock one or do I need the HD one?

how much boost are ya gonna run?

 

[volvoman]

18- 20

This is going to be Johns old trubo that he had rebuilt of his 240z.

At first 18-19 # Then if I am not scared yet more with alky kit.

then i would say no 20-21 lbs would be where id start looking at hd

I like the standard actuators. I look at it like this: With the boost control devices out there now like the RJC unit and the electronic boost controllers, you can always add more boost and no longer run into not having enough actuator arm travel but if you go with a HD unit and just happen to have knock at 18 psi you may not be able to get the boost to go lower than that because some setups I've seen with the HD units will make 18 psi w/ no tension at all on the WG rod so your stuck at that level.

stock

So I guess I will use my stock one for now then. Anybody need stock turbo?

Stick with the standard aftermarket 14psi adjustable actuator unless you plan on running over 30 psi.

Otherwise BoostKillsStress said it best.
