hey guys, afew questions..

was look at some turbo kits and i noticed one had a twin external gate setup on a hks t04e turbo, any reason why they would have this? twin gates hold better boost than 1?

would it be needed for high boost applications where 2gates could hold 20psi better than one?

and also custom oil lines, where to go for this? can you use some braided lines? im located in melbourne, if anyone can point me in the right way, would be appreciated!

thanks

Nate

Why dont you look @ the thread on the R31 forums where i've already posted about that stupid twin gate setup???

*sigh*

2 gates wont hold boost better than one

brainded lines - enzed where i get mine

My thoughts, 2 wastegates would be better than one for low boost on big turbos, blah blah.

reason being that you can dump more exhaust from the engine and control low boost better.

When you have hig boost, you don't need to dump much air because your using it to energise the compressor.

Edit: P.S. - who want's low boost on a big turbo car?

And Nate31, I just tried to squash a bug on my screen which turned out to be your sig...

    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
    • Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
    • your right the maps for Australia came out in 2017 but are 2010 maps. i got the updated maps SD card put it in and it was the same. Same maps in my Brothers Nissan Patrol. 2020 i think his car is
