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

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?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
