I've got a few days off the week after finals, when I'll be going home. I might just have it fixed by a pro, I'm not sure yet.

the wg isnt opening? are u sure u dont have any exhaust leaks in between the mani/head or mani/turbo?

there are no exhaust leaks, yeah, it has to do with the actuator.....can't really be anything else.

essentially, I'll get 4-5psi in first gear, then every gear after that only 2psi, like the arm is stuck partially open and won't fully close.

Even using a manual boost controller doesn't help.

did you ever find anything for the actuator?

**chimmike** · Apr 21st, 2003, 04:04 PM

not yet. I am still slightly on the prowl for an actuator with a nice long arm to it......better for leverage, and for the space I have available.

wow old thread.

**wes** · Dec 6th, 2005, 01:00 AM

Hi all,

Good to know GA and QG shares the (almost) same exhaust manifold flange and crank pulleys.

What bout cams, crank shafts, con rods, pistons and the likes?

Thanks in advance...

NotAnotherHonda · Dec 6th, 2005, 04:38 AM

i dunno about other stuff, but i know the b14 pacesetter short shifter fits the qg...

kaizer · Dec 6th, 2005, 08:32 AM

Okay... that's good to know. But I drive an automatic

Thinking of preping it up a lil... my little QG16DE.

**chimmike** · Dec 6th, 2005, 08:06 PM

ga cams won't work in the QG.

stock GA and QG con-rods are identical. Pistons are different due to size and QG pistons have higher ring lands making them more susceptible to damage from detonation.
