hey guys how yas doing, ive recentely upgraded the turbos on my r32 gtr to hks 25/30s, is there any way i can run watsegate or 2 of them some how, the car has just been done, ive never dealt with an external wastegate but was just thinking is it possible to put it on the gtr, btw its low mount, as much replies would be appreciated thank you

Kind of hard to understand what you are asking. You want to know whether you can run an external wastegate (or two) on your setup which is currently running internal gates? If this is the case, why?

yeppp thats what im asking, i wa sspeaking to a few boys down here but i didnt really want to go with what they said, id rather post it on here as guys from here would probably know more, its running the turbos as ive mentioned above

Ok I thought that's what you were asking.

So back to my question I posted, why do you want to go to external wastegates when the internal wastegates on 2530s work perfectly fine? Let me guess, screamer pipe?

yeah man i just want it to work better, if its better running the internal ill leave it but if external is bvetter for it ill do it, what would i have to do though?

nahh man got no boost controller problem was just thinking if its better ill go ahead and do it, i just want to knwo what will work better for my car with these turbos, internal or an external, if external how is it possible to do?

Nothing wrong with the 2530 internal wastegates. Been running em with HKS dumps for years and they do not spike, creep etc.

The wastegates are a lot bigger than the pissy stock ones. Dump pipes that have a separate outlet for the wastegate gases is the way to go with less turbulence than the stockers.

Yep the stock internal gates on them are completely fine and the amount of money you would spend turning them to externals would be money better spent elsewhere. Not to mention to absolutely no benefit.

yeah im running hks 25/30s with the older style tomei dumps, what will i need to make it external, what would need to be changed as ive never chased information on these, what wold i need to take off and purchase?

Whoever these people are

"i was speaking to a few boys down here but i didnt really want to go with what they said"

Then don't listen to them anymore, they clearly have NO idea what they are talking about.

You do not need external wastegates for HKS 2530's. They work perfectly fine on their own.

There is zero performance gains by performing such a modification.

The only thing that will happen is you wasting your money

    • perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML
    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
