Rx7 fd3s sequential turbo build actuator fault
Hello guys I'm new here and I'm fairly familiar with the rx7 but I need help and advise on the actuators not the electronic ones ! I will be shortly posting my build progress on here which Inc auto to manual convection Inc wiring , rats nest definitive guide as google and the manual are not clear once u get to the rats nest piping and also installing and setting up the apexi ecu, I will be installing a raspberry pi 3 computer Inc touch screen to display apexi data logit data live as you drive , but for now I need some advise on the actuators, the stock twins as you know have three, one for wastegate and one for the precontrol and one for the second turbo which is a fat stumpy one under the turbo pack which is the one that's broken on mine and I need help with,basically it's leaking pressure from the rod end and holding pressure from the top so obviously it needs replacing but my question is has anyone used an aftermarket twin port actuator such as the obx twin port actuator or turbo smart twin port actuator ?? I have tried sourcing original but they are broken or tired and I want to keep the twins and so updated actuators would be ideal but I need suggestions.

Pretty obscure question for new member tech section. If you don’t get a response you may have to wait until your post count allows you to move to the greater 3rd Gen section. AFAIK the actuator isn’t THAT trouble prone. Not sure where you’re located but once you’re post count allows you could also put up a Want To Buy (WTB) thread in the 3rd Gen parts for sale section for a working OEM actuator. Unless there’s a PROVEN advantage to those others I don’t think I’d bother.
I also found this thread exploring alternatives to the TCA...

That you sgtblue for your reply , not sure what happened yesterday but now both of my threads are back lol I did email admin so perhaps they fixed it, thanks for the links and advise, I have sorted another one from a junk yard so fingers crossed it works I'll test it but a reasonable rebuildable one would be nice as rubber does perish over time and it would be good to know that's another thing on the car that's New and hopefully would last lol many thanks for responding ,the links are good but they are doing it electronically I'd wanna stick with the pressure and vacuum type actuator for led complexity lol
