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???

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!

    • 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.
