ok ive shopped around trying to find some sort of air pump to open up my secondaries. They all seemed to big to rig under the hood. Can any of you guys tell me where and how much to find a pump for my actuators. I already got the rpm swich to trigger it just need a pump now. Thanks

If you got a junk yard around, you can find a luxury car with airbags there are quite a few...... steal the airpump that is on the car to fill the bags. Cheap fix if nothing else.

Maybe you could pick up a stock airpump?

Also, why doesn't your's have one? Did the previous owner remove the emissions?

it went bad so , i decided to rem,ve emmisions. With my exhaust setup i wouldnt have any backpressure. However, is it possible to get a racing beat header and rig a nipple to hook up the actuators at the very top of the header near the exhaust port

You could always just wire them open. You lose a bit on the bottom end (not a whole lot really) and maybe gain a bit up top.

Thats no air pump, thats a compressed air canister.

You can probelly get away with an aquarium air pump. There pretty tiny, cheap and should be able to produce 2psi to open up the actulators.

an aquarium air pump , ill try that, my fish probably wont mind if i use it for a while. JK I tried wireing them today, just to try it, i really dont find a difference in the bottom end but i noticed a big difference getting my car over a 100 mph. I ate a 88 supra today. Of course a non turbo.

I never did get why people say they see a difference up top when they are wired open. It would be the same as if they worked properly.
