Converting Hole-Type Wastegate lever to Pin-Type...

Pin-Type CT9a Wastegate Lever

Right, considering the pin is pressed into the Actuator or Wastegate Arms, I'm presuming I'll need to find a Pin-type Wastegate arm to replace the hole-type if I'm to use my Hole-type Actuator?

If so, anyone have one laying about? Thanks

think you may need to get ther pin type actuator or possibly change to an older ct9 from mk1 gt as they have the pin on the wastegate arm instead

not sure if you can swap the arms

i had that problem when i got my turbo rebuilt. got a ct9b but had the hks actuator to fit my old ct9a with the pin on the lever.

had to make the hks actuator a pin type by grinding off an old pin from a knackered exhaust housings wastegate arm then welding it in place on the hks actuator. after than a quick spray of silver heat resistant paint and it looks as though its original!

I feared it could've been a question of welding...bah, being an impatient lil' princess as previously mentioned, I think I'll have to look for a Pin-Type JAM Actuator instead, too much hassle looking for a Pin, then welding...grrraaargh....ok, I'll change topic title

Or do what i did,

Just get an m4 bolt and nut,

p
Put the bolt through the wategate hole screw the nut all the way down to secure the bolt,

Then put the end of the actuator arm in the bolt and put another nut to secure it tight,

Worked for me.

Sounds a bit DIY-ish but probably effective for now, any pictures?

 

[Sharagath]

isn't there a way to cut treath on it, by joining 2 types into one?

i can't find out the difference, do you have pictures?

 

[dac69er]

it works fine but its just a bit rough. the bolts wont be as hard wearing as the proper pin though!

 

[riko666]

Exactly - I mean I'd like the idea you put across Duncan, as well...I'm not rushed for time on it, it's for my spare CT9b...I just don't know any welders around

 

[dac69er]

tig weld it and itll look as though its original. would do it for you at work if you lived closer!

Suffolk isn't far...is it? I have no idea Well, I don't like forcing anything on anyone, but perhaps one day if you're not busy I could post the parts over to you? And then perhaps pay you for the favour

 

[dac69er]

get the bits together and post them too me mate and i can sort it for you as long as im not too busy at work.

let me know

 

[riko666]

cheers chap - so to recap I just need to grind off the pin from the wastegate lever? Now...anyone got a spare Pin-Type wastegate lever

 

[dac69er]

just grind off the whole arm. or if anyone has a spare pin type actuator you can take the pin off that and use that instead.
