looks decent

Yeah, worked good. I need to take the turbo off one of these days and see if the valve is still alive too. I checked about a month after I started using it and it seemed fine. But 6 months later it could be pretty crispy heh

Anything ever come of this? how did you seal around the shaft? A bunch of pics and the video didnt work so I wasnt sure.

nice idea, i too want to have a flapper for my boost so i found this honda turbo thats sapost to have wings that open an close. im new to turbos so can anyone direct me were i can get a diagram to hook this thing up. i cant find anything but one artical about it. its a honda wing turbo, i guess they were putting them on accords in japan

my email is jonbaumconstruction@gmail.com if you want to see a picture of it. it says honda on the turbo

bump bump bump bump bump :)

i know i'm a bit late to the party, but did this ever get working? did you manage to get the rod to seal, or wasn't it an issue?

I want to know as well

---- its been a while since I was here... Sorry about that.

I never had problems with leaking around the shaft, nothing ever seemed to blow past, however I am only running 14 psi.
Last year I machined a ball n spring boost controller for it

I set up a more elaborate vac line set up, I can't remember how I ran the controller and my check valves (Cars been sitting for a while) but I was able to improve my spool up by about 2-300rpm from the old bleeder style controller and vac line set up I had. Still never ran a spring on the actuator, I just relied on vacuum and boost to close it and open it.

Never imagined it would last this long and work as good as it has, especially when I started to ---- around with the control lines to it. I did a shitty job on this thing two years ago and it worked great, anyone who puts a little more care into it should have good results too.

Good to see you back. Don't be a stranger.

Thanks, it's been a while since I drove the z or worked on it. Spending too much time making other people parts. Almost forget what boost feels like...
Need to change that, at least the new daily will be boosted.
