GSL-SE Actuator question
Ok, the actuators are stuck on my 84 se, I wired them open and when I tried to start the car, it flooded like mad. Whats up with that? Any info on either wiring them open or how to make them work would be great.

Anytime baby!
I'm rebuilding my intake now, and I found that the small air tube which divies up the air to the two actuators was plugged at one end, thus I'm pretty confident I was running a 5 port or probably more like a 4 1/2 port
You might check into that.
Right on.

Having never looked under the hood of an -SE specifically looking for the actuators and only assuming where they are, I would say the other one is in close proximity. One os on the "front" of the engine, and one is on the "back". So, after finding one, the other should be on the other "end" on the engine...Let me see if I can find a picture...

Ok, found a picture. Granted its a carbed setup, but the actuators are still in place. It should at least give you an idea of where to look. I think I found this in an old RB catalog that someone had put online or something. Its kinda cool to look at with the old RB Dellorto intake and everything, ya know?

EDIT: Stupid forum wouldnt let me upload it here...I had to upload it on CarDomain.

I'll take a look tonight, I found the rear one.
Thanks for the pic, it's a big help!
Am I to assume if I can move the linkage easily, things should be ok?

Hmm..I know others wire them open with no problems other than a slight loss in low-end torque.
Maybe by opening them at low rpms, more fuel is being thrown at the additional air that's coming in and it's flooding easily.
Does your car still idle properly?

Are you running with stock fuel injection?
If the actuators are all the way open, you'll be letting in more air. The engine then would be giving you enough fuel to run the car at over 3,500 RPM under load (as opposed to just sitting there). EGI computers can be fussy that way; change perameters and they get cunfused.
I know some people wire their actuators open, but this might be contributing to the problem.

is there any way to make the actuators work besides using exhaust back pressure??

Found both actuators, thanks brownmound!! Now to find the sleeves..

The sleeves are in the block....you have to remove the lower intake manifold to get to them....my site is not really a how to, just a documentation and an aid...but check out the second to last pic on this page:

shows me pulling one of sleeves out with pliers.
right on.

You''ll like the antenna, just installed one on the SE.
I saw the pic of the sleeve, don't know if I'm comfortable getting into the guts that far. There's a 2nd gen rotary guru about an hour from here, might have him check it out. If I do, I'd like to have the pineapple sleeves ready to install.

I think Pineapple sends the inserts now so you can install them yourself. Rob said he wasn't getting enough cores returned....or you can do like I did and send them in and have him put them in.
Right on.

It idled and ran great till I opened those damn things up. Then it flooded when I tried to start it. Have not been back out to work on it yet. I also have a rb header, pre-silencer, and dynomax muffler(came with car) It seems to be pretty free flow. I have also heard that the actuators run off of exhaust back pressure. Is it possible that my exhaust might be too free flow and they dont open anyway? And how might I find out if that is the case

Not meaning to bud in this thread but... can anyone tell me what sort of improvement these racing sleeves provide? Is it measurable and how much does it cost for the new sleeves if you were to install youself - thanks

Sleeves are $52.85 to your door....gains are about 6-8 hp, nominal but significant in the grand scheme of things.
