Boost controller would be more your issue rather than gate size. you are right in what you are saying but it relates more to bigger turbo setups. here is an example of a modified Z18 engine running a Gt25/40 internal gated, makes over 350rwhp on 19psi. This car is at the stage wher it wants a turbo and wastegate upgrade. If you decide to go external gate a 38mm Turbosmart ultragate will be ample.

oh ok

i will check it out thanks

but dosent the boost become unsteady when you go over 14psi on a internal wastegate as its to small to pass enough exhaust gas through

gucio external wastegate is usually a better option on high output turbos. i dont see it as thatr much of an issue in ur application, especially not at 14psi. i ran 21psi with an internally gated turbo and when setup well there are no problems. usually just playing around with ur boost controller.

Cheers guys

BezerkR32: when you said its a boost controller problem we have a greddy electronic boost controller, could that be the problem. I Thought that an electronic one could modify the boost so that the boost curve even.

But would the wastegate give you more control over the boost (eg smoother boost curve etc)

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
