hey mate how do you actuate the screamer?

Poke it in the dump pipe?

Same as a normal wastegate; pressure signal from pressurized inlet tract overcomes spring pressure holding wastegate closed.

Open wastegate releases excess exhaust gas (in this case straight to atmosphere, rather than into the exhaust) reducing the volume of gas available to spin exhaust turbine; thus reducing inlet tract pressure and closing wastegate.

The "screamer" name is due to the fact that the unmuffled wastegate is extremely loud; basically like an open exhaust, while the wastegate is open.

I used a turbosmart 45mm wastegate plumbed in before the turbo, it just dumps excess exhaust gasses to stop the turbo shaft speed from increasing once 26psi is achieved.

I have since plumbed the screamer back into the exhaust which made the boost skyrocket to over 40psi, i dropped the controller down but the tune has changed completely, back to the Dyno again...

There must be a hell of a lot of excess gas from the wastegate!

Is it worth (or can you even fit) a larger dump/ front pipe set up to reduce the back pressure? Does integration angle of the Wastegate pipe into the exhaust cause the boost spiking?

Have you seen BOBBYr34's wastegate venturi set up? That wouldn't take long to fabricate... :blink:

Not telling you how to row your own boat by any means mate; just curious.

They merge at the 4 inch cat body, not the best flowing setup but more than adequate IMO. The reason for the boost spike is the increased pressure in the exhaust compared to just venting it. Once the controller was setup again the boost level was fine but the tune is still out, especially as the turbo spools.

I will try and get a pic today when I remove the front pipe again.

HOLY FUARK how did i miss this thread!

the epitome of AWESOME!!!

i was just talking to my uncle the other day about getting a gigantic turbo for my stag. so it can just be a lag monster.

i can cruise around as if it was N/A all day and then open it up when i want to! lol

LOVE IT!

getting a gigantic turbo for my stag. so it can just be a lag monster.

I never said 500hp is ordinary, it simply isn't a lag monster with a modern turbo and decent setup. Personally I would prefer a slightly smaller turbo for street use on a heavy wagon.

Bolt an old T88 on a 25 or 26 then you will see what laaaaaaaag city is like.

    • 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.
