Guest scruffers Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 hi all, can anyone tell me if its ok for the actuator on the turbos to be wired open, i just had a guy look at mine and he was not sure about the implications or alternatives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Which actuators? there four of them, and they each do something different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scruffers Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 dont know but its the one right in front of the turbos towards the centre at the bottom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I'm guessing the car has been put in TTC mode (search for the TTC or true-twin mod in the FAQs and Tech section ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scruffers Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 the turbos have been changed from sequential to parallel, would this be the reason for the actuator being wired open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Yes the EGCV and the IACV will be wired open if it is run in TTC mode as a semi permanent mod, its not a problem, although its not always recommended for an auto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scruffers Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 the car runs amazing with the setup it has but i dont want to damage the car in the process, looking for a happy medium! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Running in TTC mode is fine, especially if the Motec ECU has been specially mapped for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scruffers Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 thats a relief, whats the motec stuff like compared to others on the market, at £3600 i would expect it to be something special? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 MoTeC is about the best out there. Where are you getting that £3600 price from though? They're a lot less than that. About 2k for a pukka m600 setup last time I looked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scruffers Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 i have the receipt for it at £3600+ for the Motec M800 and setup by owen developments in Oxford in 2003 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
