hi guys i am currently doing mods to my rb20 i need to know before 2moro should i bother with getting it change to external wastegate and high rising my turbo or not? how much of a difference will it make please help. i need advice

THANKS

ummmm what mods, what turbo....important info if you want that answer...

NO!

As Ash has stated; WASTE OF MONEY!

The more stock you make it look the less hassles you have. Ther is absolutely no gain to make this turbo hi-mount and ext. gate. I really hope you mechanic is not feeding you this info to squeeze more money from you, if so go to another w/shop :P

Just ask them to match port the ext. manifold, to improve flow.

so is it worth changing to external wastegate will it change anything??

Mate basically your turbo wont be able to run an ex gate, as (i assume) its a high flowed stock turbo which already has an internal gate.

Bloody pointless high mounting it other than the wank factor as there is NOTHING to be gained & those $$'s u save can go elsewhere on ur car

P.S i'm right in saying an originally internally gated turbo cant be convertoed to external? especially stocko?

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • 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.
