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???

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
