garrett turbo actuator and brackt

Post by ledgend80 »

ok as above am currently fitting a gt2871r to my 80 series 1hdt. the problem is the actuator and bracket dont fit between the turbo and block. so i was wondering who has fitted a garrett to there 1hdt or 1hz or other engine what bracket and actuator did you use to get it to fit. pics would be good

Slightly different use for a TD42 however i'm sure the same principle applies. I had to make up a new rod with a greater angle on it in order for the actuator to be mounted as intended on the the turbo. The alternative is to remote mount the actuator away from the turber and increase the length of rod.

Turboglide kits on TD42's use the two holes in the log style manifold to mount a braket that holds the actuator. It's then just a matter of extending the rod.

we put a garret turbo on a mates 80 a couple of days ago.

he just made a bracket to put the actuator on the other side of the turbo i think. Just bent it up out of flat bar.

I hope you can see whats going on in this pic

That'll work.
Did you stick a bike pump with guage on it to check the opening pressure? The final tweak still gets done on the engine, but it's a good starting point.

You have to be a bit careful with wastegates, most only open a few mm.

make sure the linkage has a bit of preload holding the gate closed, this helps to seal the gate and stop flutter.
