External Wastegate Possible On Low Mount Manifold?

[SLYLNE]

Hi ppl,

Im not quite sure about this, but is it possible to fit a external waste gate on a low mount manifold?

I know its possible on a high mount, but i dont want any more cop hassles than i already do.

is there any way around it?

any help would be great.

thanks.

it is possible without a doubt, but i think youd have to have a special manifold casted or made up to do so. why wouldnt it be possible, the only way to go here is custom, from your car ( i thaught i read that you have a R33 GTST) id take the example of the GTR 700, which is rubnning a low mount twin turbo setup with external gates, so i think a custom manifold would so the job, i dont know what the price is of these custom setups over there, but i can have em made at my job. ( i litteray live on the other side of the world assuming you live in australia. make sure they use SUS 304 stainless steel and they have to MIG weld it, and oh yea for better resuts the individual header pipes need to be uniform in thickness and the need to be as smooth as possible on the inside

i had a low mount manifold with a wastegate outlet.

I think HKS have one, or you can pay to have one made

thanks for the replies guys, much appreciated =)

either way. there WILL be shiny pipes and either a turbo or wastegate showing its self. so yeah. you can but its still gona get noticed

[R31Nismoid]

hence why i changed from manifold/turbo/gate/RB25 to RB26

less hassles, low-mount manifold will still be noticed, i can attest to that

I have one.

- Low mount GT30r

- external Tial wastegate

gate is hidden below the turbo.

I have a HKS low mount manifold with a Turbonetics 40mm external wastegate...

No shiny pipes for me, although admittedly the wastegate isn't exactly hard to find if you know what you're looking for

welds look worse than they are i promise. hadn't been cleaned up in this picture.

reminds me of the guy from spider man 2

but i know why its like that

I modified my standard exhaust manifold to take an external gate it is easy to do.

I have a trust adapter that bolts between turbo and mani to allow a gate to be used on a lowmount application.. works well
