It's time to buy the wastegate for the GT35R, the motor's a RB30DET using a power fc and boost controller.

The GT35R has a 0.82 exh, it's rated at 700 hp.

I'm using a high mount SS exh manifold suited for an external wastegate.

WIll the 38mm gate be ok or should I be using a 45mm one? :boinkcar:

Need to know a few more things before I can work out the wastegate size;

Is the engine capable of handling 700 bhp?

What boost level are you intending to run?

Will the engine handle that level of boost?

Engine hasn't been built yet but will be built to handle over 600hp.

Boost level would be no more than 25 psi, that's if it needs to go that high to achieve the power.

The engine is being built to withstand the psi and hp.

The bottom end will have forgies and after market rods, oringed block etc...

Hi Alf, sounds good, I will assume the turbo can be fully utilised;

700bhp / 11 X 19 / 25 = 48 mm

Hope that helps :P

Yes that helps alot Sydneykid, and thanks alot for your help.

The people who I have asked about this have suggested a turbosmart 45mm wastegate. So i guess there recommendations are very close to yours.

My exhaust manifold has 38mm piping for the wastegate, will this need to be replaced with 45/48mm piping?

Does anyone make a 48mm wastegate?

Thanks again. :wavey:

Tial make 46 mm and 50 mm, HKS have 3 types of 50mm, Greddy have 2 types of 47 mm, Garrett have 46 mm and a few more that I can't remember.;)

Yes turbosmart's new pro-gate wastegates are now 48mm they use to be 45mm.

has anyone actually measured the valve area?

I think they are still 45mm, not 48. Going by what i saw.

But then, it might have been the old gate, in the new box :confused:

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
