I have a TD06-19C on an RB20 and I have a HKS style wastegate which is 38mm in size. It wont hold boost. Have tried disconnecting the avcr and just running it from a pressure source tot he bottom of the wastegate and it still wont stay at any level. I figured it was just the crappy wastegate (it came with that wastegate/diff turbo) so I bought a new one and wanted the same one so I didnt have to change the manifold and it still wont hold boost. ahh.

Any thoughts on what it could be? wastegate too small to hold boost? I only want to run 1 bar.

Thanks.

So I asume its loosing boost??

If the wastegate is to small the turbo will actualy over boost as the excess exhaust gas can't get out of the manifold fast enough due to the hole being to small.

Id say its a dodgy wastegate design perhaps.

When i said wont hold boost, I meant it is gaining in pressure. it never holds a boost steady, just winds up from 4000rpm till I stop it.

the wastegate has held .8bar with a t3/4 turbo that was on it before, I would have thought that it would be big enough to hold / control boost with the td06 as it has a smaller exhaust housing, I do realise it would flow alot more then the old turbo but still didnt think I would have a problem with size.

I dont feel like forking out $1000 and all the hassel of taking the exahust manifold off then on again when it may not be the problem, although it is looking like it.

can anyone confirm or deny whether a turbo of this size would need a bigger wastegate or not?

or anyone have any other sujestions for me?

Thanks.

agreed.

search button - re wastegate sizing... but that isn the issue here.

I betting manifold too, exhaust fiding it easier to go out the turbine than down to the gate.

Always the first thing to head for with rising boost above the spring

Speaking of which, what spring is in the gate?

Or is it one of the horrid adjustable things?

I believe it has a .9bar spring. but it goes over that!

when you sat testing is the only way, test what?

it is a custom manifold. if it is the manifold, then thats a big problem! stupid car!

Thanks for your input guys, I will look into some other things and well if its manifold, then it will prob stay liek that cause im not buying a new one!

Thanks.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
