You can do it. but the reason is why? just for the sound? Putting an external gate on a pair or N1's are not needed (can achieve 400kw in some cases) but they are only need if you are using high power low mounts. Just for arguments sake a pair of 2860's running 25psi obviously you dont need to go external gate but it will help control boost alot better. External gates are usually used for big single turbos or twins making over 500, 600hp + kinda thing..In your case unless you are going for huge horse power you don't need an external gate. If the gate is big enough say 50mm upwards you might get away with 1 but generally if you use 2 turbos you use 2 wastages and you can mount them anywhere you like if you have enough $$$.

There is no room too fit two external wastegates with a low mount TT setup.

I mean, you probably could if you fabricated absolutely everything from new manifolds, intake, oil/water, dumps etc etc etc.

Maybe fit one big gate...

Silly idea and expense end of the day just for a sound. Not to mention you'd never get away with it here in Vic... i didn't 4 years ago, times are a lot tougher.

External gate = single or highmount twins only

You can make over 450rwkw from internal gates, so no drama there

Ye but internal gate screamers sound nothing like a true external gate, not even close... and often have issue with sealing at idle so you get exhaust leaks and so on

A wet fart best describes internal gate screamers, and no-one likes having one of those

pure and simple we have given you the facts of why an why not, so its up to you to make the decision on what you want to do...just know if you get caught with a screamer you'll get f*cked over..

:D nawww i really wanted one lol with the nismo Exhaust that i installed the aggressiveness of my car is gone just another question i have a hks SSQ and a HKS that makes a standard air noise and the SSQ shits me to hell if i put stock GTR bov's on will the Car make a nice noise cuz i wouldn't mind hearing a little dose does anyone know how to make a GTR dose other than re locate the AFM into the cooler piping or after market computer that disables the AFM?

Like if i blocked both my BOV's off or change my cooler i duno just asking

Lancers are a very different beast being an inline 4 , they are a lot easier to package an external gate into than a twin parallel turbo inline 6 . Actually there are some really good twin scroll twin integral gate turbos available for 4G63's - but thats another story .

IMO you would go backwards with one wastegate controlling two turbos because you lose the pulse seperation effect of two turbos on their own individual exhaust manifolds . Once you link them together you may as well have a 6 into 1 manifold and a single scroll single turbo .

You call but I would have effective twins on an RB26 and call it a day . Sounds can be emotive but I'll take function over flamboyance every time .

A .

i heard about 6-7 years back you could buy a device that you attach to your gearbox so when you change gear it makes the BOV sound for non turbo cars, maybe by now they the same thing for gates, then you wouldnt have to spend heaps of coin, and maybe lose power????

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
