hi guys..

i was thinking of adding a external wastegate/screamer pipe to my car... so i got a quote off rigoli motorsport.. they quoted me $1650 supplied and fitted... does this sound right? and he rekoned it needed to get dyno tuned as well : : now im not a mechanic but is this overpriced.. or do i have to pinch myself n jump back into reality world....

well for starters.. i dont think the guy who hiflowed my car put an aftermarket wastegate...

i bought it the way it is atm

so therefore i dont think its external etc ttc

and why do i want one..? cause i love the sound of em.. its not like my car desperately needs one asap or its gna blow up!

ive always wanted one.. and now that i have a r33 im gna get one..:wub:

so can anyone tell me more info on what sort of wastegate would suit me that wont blow out of precaution with $$$ as my turbo is only hiflowed its not some crash hot t66 that needs a 2g wastegate.. and anyone know who can do a good job fitting it.. around sydney :dry:

oh yeh and thanks for the peoples critisism.. it got me far.. :P

instead of laughing it off.. why dont u direct someone who doesnt know much about topics like this n let them know what they should/shouldnt do and WHY.. it helps ppl when they wana do the right thing to there cars...

anyone with some good info?

ok, well with what ever turbo you have, obviously it was designed like it was for a reason so its prob best to keep it that way..

and you have to agree $1600+ is alot for a noise?

ofcourse it is! i wouldnt bother puttin it on.. thats why i posted this topic.. asking is this a normal price for a bit of noise of a stock hiflowed turbo...

im guessing it is.. but is there cheaper options for it? if so what are they exatcly...and im talking about a smaller wastegate fitted without a dyno tune how much would it all cost me etc etc

youd be a dikhed paying 1600 for noise....

    • Thanks for sharing. That's a great video! My buddy is doing the same thing on his build (S chassis struts and towers). He's building an S14 with billet RB30 shooting for 2000whp... a race car with a TH400 just like this video. For a road car I just couldn't go this route as the strut has to be almost vertical and the caster is not going to pivot correctly (let alone camber gain). You think the R32 frontend is bad, wait till you put a MacPherson strut on without modeling it all in Solidworks to check geometry. I'm not saying it's a bad way to do it but I'd be really curious to see how it affects the geometry.
    • Hey Christof and welcome!  Sounds like an awesome project! I'm not sure many of the regular users on here would know much about the HK but I could be wrong.  Looking forward to updates.
    • As long as its NOT a HyperSHITtune, youll be fine.
    • First time visitor and currently getting ready to start work on my HK Premier.  Its all stock, 186 with 3 on the tree.  The only mod i have right now is extractors.  I am hoping to get some guidance on slightly modifying the engine to bring a little more power. Just going for a nice, comfortable cruiser.  The car is very straight, however i have been out of the country for 20 years and its been gathering dust at a family farm.  Will be doing quite a bit of body work to cut out some small rust areas (frnt quarter panels and a few other small bits) and fix up the paint.  Will be redoing the interior (its currently black and the seats are in real need of recovering and respringing the driver side (its front bench seat).  The dash needs a little TLC, but no real damage.  As my heater has degraded I am considering fitting something after-market that will be both heater/AC (recommendations here are always welcome). Wanting something discrete that will allow me to use the same controls and not be obvious once inside the car.   For the engine, i have been told i could consider upgrading my cam (imagine i would need a new head as well) and putting a new carby (currently the original stromberg).  However not sure what is going to be the best route.  Would certainly welcome any comments/suggestions.  As  a final step I am looking at changing the wheels. Current hubcaps are in dire need of refurbishment or replacement (imagine its a bit like hens teeth).  Thinking of some clean/classic looking mags (7-inch should be more than enough - not going for a large change in look).  Welcome any comments/advice and of course any questions. 
    • I got the ARC M079 due to the space constraint.  Been running mint for the last 3 years.  Plazmaman also seems like a really solid choice but not used myself.    Hunt around for a better price but this is what I have - https://www.rhdjapan.com/arc-brazing-intercooler-smic-m079-bnr32.html
