Hey guys need some knowledge here.

I want to run an external wastegate on my rb20det. I was originally and still want to weld it to my stock manifold but the position where I wanted to put it (on top of the manifold) the intake pipe gets in the way.so I thought how much to the right can I move over but it's too much that it's on a bend.

Is there anywhere else that I can weld it to the manifold that it won't b in the way of anything?

And does it matter where it's positioned for flow purposes?

Ur help is much appreciated

Thanks

Jason

i asked around a few places and none of them wanted to do the job due to it being cast iron and they can't guarantee the work or if it will even turn out properly.

who did the weld job for you JKR-32 and how much did it cost ya?

pm sent.

edit: looks good man, is that a steal pipe running of the manifold to suit a 38mm ext gate?

has anyone tried fitting a 40mm ext gate off the manifold or turbo housing?

My mechanic done the work mate. Not sure what diameter pipe actually. But its ha the old style turbo smart 45mm pro gate hanging off it. Brad does all my mechanical, fabrication and tuning. Handy bloke, but as is always the case with good mechanics, it's a jump in line type senario. Not sure on price, because he done the turbo swap, intake pipe, and dump pipe all at the same time as the gate. Along with a few other things.

Yer I dOnt really want to weld it to the exhaust housing just incase I need to changed turbo or something like that, that's y I want it on the manifold.but it's hat to find someone to do it as being said it's cast iron an all and ppl can't guarantee the welds.even though I'm sure if it's done the proper way an no shortcuts that it will hold. Does anyone know anyone in melbounre that will weld it??? Pref in northern suburbs???

    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
    • street use or race track, what hose size and why? what factors change with the hose size options ?   see most comon is an10. when you see most oem external coolers are closer to an12? does high volume oil pump like nitto need an12 or 10 be just fine
