747pwr Member 68 Member For: 14y 1m 7d Gender: Male Posted 13/08/15 04:54 AM Author Share Posted 13/08/15 04:54 AM Wasn't the tuners fault - last tuning session cut short due to a boost issue/mechanical problem so tuned best we could - got bored one day and started this thread - got some good advice and found the problem, always wanted the bigger turbo and once the 76 sold the swap cost me a couple hundred plus the tune, car was apart and had to retune anyway was kind of two birds one stone.

747pwr Member 68 Member For: 14y 1m 7d Gender: Male Posted 14/08/15 11:04 AM Author Share Posted 14/08/15 11:04 AM Was on dyno today briefly, under boosting sorted, now over boosting issue with new turbo/housing/wastegateDialed in 17psi would make it until 3800 then 20psi by 5000 till red lineI bench tested the actuator would open at 15psi on any preload setting, I set the preload to about 3mm used to compressor to push rod onto waste gate, which was the least preload to make the valve not spin on the housing when I tried. Could still move the actuator rod by hand if hanging off it, way easier than the turbo smart set upBut I read they use much less preload than the turbo smart part.The flapper valve is a 38mm item and we ported it slightly smaller than previous housing to try keep some more meat to prevent cracking this one.Does it sound like I set the actuator up right ? Good chance I'll have to pull off housing and open port up some more ? It was d-shaped like shown on here.Guess I'll be in shed all weekend But it did make 400rwkw on 98, reduced timing 17psi building to 20. Which is a start haha Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/90901-swapping-from-gtx3576-to-gtx3582/page/7/#findComment-1557977 Share on other sites More sharing options...
