Issue on bypass actuator of Whipple.

Good morning.

I am using Whipple SC for Camaro SS 2016. It works pretty well, but recently have a trouble on the bypass actuator. It doesn't open fully at the idle, seems half opened and stuck. I can hear the sound of sucking from the actuator. At that time, the boost guage shows 12~14 inHG.


If I force little bit with finger, it opens fully. The sound is gone and the guage shows 18~20inHG, back to the normal.

What should I do?

Have you determined if it's the actuator or the shaft and butterfly??
There was a issue with the bypass with another member. He cleaned/lubed and readjusted everything, NO problem hear of since

If they are moved by hand, you can twist the internal diaphragm and thus it won't fully close. If you remove the 90deg rubber hose, use a vacuum tester and see if it holds 10" of vacuum for 60 seconds or longer. If so, the actuator is ok. If its internally ruptured, it will need to be replaced (if it doesn't hold vacuum).

It doesn't hold vacuum. How can I replace it? I can not find the same part on your web.

So because he’s from another country means he doesn’t own a Camaro and is just on this forum asking detailed questions just bullshitting?

Sure.

NO, They know something is wrong with your actuator, why not just give you the part number, or send you a one. Your's is a new SC. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

If you run into a problem, I have a spare.

No problem at all. I just wanted to make sure while I assumed you were not talking to me. Due to English is not my mother tounge, there is always possibility of miscommunication, so I want to be careful.

Btw, if you have a spare, I would like to buy it. Will send a PM.

Thank you

Brett, sorry, we have no way of knowing if the actuator has failed in Korea. We told them how to fix it. As for a PN, its a specially made piece, you can't get it at a parts store.

Actuators are typically damaged from someone moving them by hand, as the rubber gets twisted inside. It can be fixed but one must be careful.
