NC Wastegate

[51 Turbo]

Come to find out I have the one year that Buick made the normally Open wastegate actuator. Thank you B4Black for the info. I would like to replace it for the normally Closed unit. Might help the lag. Any one have one for sale or are they available aftermarket. I see plenty for turbo diesels but I don't know compatibility. Thanks

The wastegate is specific to B4black cars so there's only 1 other way to go. You'd need to make one for an external wastegate set up which will control the boost better but will cost more.

Thanks Doc. I'm trying to put order to the parts and pieces that are missing from my motor. Trying to organize necessity as well. The car is running better than ever but performance is one of those things we never stop messing with. Now knowing all the things missing PEVR, Knock Sensor andESC, and now the actuator, it's like starting over. All your help has been greatly appreciated. Thanks

Well Doc, for now I think I'm going to move slow and take it one thing at a time. The bottom line is I lag and I knock. Lets get the wastegate and see where to go from there. Now can I still use the existing actuator? And how do you want the $$ ? Call me and let me know and we can discuss other ways you can take my money. Thanks Frank Steve 303-641-0003

 

[dr_frankenstein]

[dr_frankenstein]

Hey Doc. can you call me? I just bought a 79 motor complete (more or less) and it has stuff I haven't seen before. Also I still want that NC wastegate. Thanks Steve 303-641-0003

 

[dr_frankenstein]

Sure whens a good time to call?

 

[51 Turbo]

Call any time I'm self employed. I have most of Friday off except to take my motorcycle driving test (again) at 3:00. Around all day Sat. as well. Probably cleaning this new motor, and trying out a real PVR valve. WOOO HOOO!!

 

[dr_frankenstein]

will be calling here today around 1630-1700 mountain time!

 

[51 Turbo]

Super, I'll be here

 

[51 Turbo]

So please double check my plumbing.
A is the center port PEVR
B is to the power valve from the offset port PEVR
C is distributor vac advance

 

[51 Turbo]

Hey Charlie, I have been talking to Dr. Frank and would also like you to check out my PEVR plumbing from the thread above. Motor is 1981. I also changed out the NO wastegate. Thanks

 

[charlief1]

This should help.

 

[51 Turbo]

Thanks, but where they show the vac. advance I don't have a port. I have a smooth spot in the carb where there could be one but there isn't. Now that I have the PEVR and the right wastegate I'm going to start goofing with the timing. I know I'm way off
