Hi guys, my mate and i attempted to mount a tial 44mm waste gate onto my manifold today and ran into a few dramas. I bought the gate without the v-band clamps so went down to gcg turbos to get a vband. It fits on the waste gate inlet and the manifold individually but will not clamp when the surfaces are mated. It seems as if the clamp is too narrow to get around both flanges. Are there specific v-bands that suit the tial 44mm gates? Thanks

Hahaha that's not a stupid question. Any help or suggestions are much appreciated (especially when im so close to getting this thing on the road). It feels pretty solid though so I'm not sure if that would work. It feels like there is a gap between the two flanges becuase of tge valve seat ring.

Try it with the new Turbosmart HP range, 45psi of spring would be a bitch.

Can you get in there with a lever? I sometimes have to put a block of wood on top of the gate and lever it with something to keep pressure on it, while someone else does up the bolt.

I might actually be able to lever it with a pry bar off the sway bar.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
