Internal wastegates are always a compromise, (except with the new BW turbos). They never flow well as the exhaust gas cant turn 90 degrees out of the wastegate port when its doing supersonic speed through the nozzle. Making the port larger will only mask the problem, I have also tried grinding the port to allow better flow and it made no difference in that case.

Plenty of gt3076s with internal gate make decent power and as for internal for stock turbos lol stao doest have a problem making well over 300 with internal

never said it cannot be done, but u clearly have never been down this path yet. some ppl like to learn the hard way :)

I was done that path with my old rb25 with a gt3071 on 270rwkw internal Gate and also a gt3540 internal gate on my rb30det making 346rwkw

Like I said I'm not goin to cry if I only get 290rwkw the mafia made that on 17psi with the sump pipe I bought of him which was custom made separating the internal gate and exhaust and made 315rwkw with meth injection with no mods done to his turbo

and i dont have a ex gate setup on the car atm im just buying a external gate gt3076 swapping the rear housings as i bought a dump pipe to suit

worse case ill just weld the gate closed and blow a hole on the rear housing for a ex wastegate :)

So gtscott do u think I should just buy the Garrett wastegate?

If you have the option get yourself the garrett big can item :thumbsup:

Apparently they help spool on a little earlier, but I honestly didnt see a problem with Mick_o's one (his is the small can they normally come with)

    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
    • EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
