Enlarging Internal Wastegate

[13thracer]

does anybody know of a workshop in brisbane that would be able to make my internal gate bigger and roughly how much it would cost

[DennisRB30]

Is it just a standard turbo on a standard engine? Does anyone else habe this prob with the turbo on the same engine? Just thinking maybe your dump pipe might be causing some probs. I done work on my wastegate for my 2JZ because it is known to be much too small.

you wont gain anything by enlarging it

what are you trying to achieve?

[R31 POWER]

Just take your turbo off and attack it with a die grinder Just dont grind the hole too big or it wont seal with the standard wategate flap!

I will be doing this to my HKS GT2535 as 14psi is the least i can run with the standard RB20det actuator and no boost controller.

What do you want to run less than 14psi for?

im doing it because the standard one does not flow out enough gas so its creating overboosting issues at high revs have wire the wastegate right open and drove car it still overboosts, my engine is no longer standard hence the increase in exhaust flow and my problem

[Adriano]

I have done this on many highflowed turbos, and have had good results with gaining better boost control, open up the hole until there is about 1.5mm of metal for the flap to cantact, then blend the inside of the housing where the ehaust enters the turbo as much as possible without giong too thin in the wall, as this will make it more susceptible to cracking. I am a little concerned that it still overboosts with the gate wired open , as it really should hardly make any boost at all.

Dont be weak.. just go external gate

Before you go machining holes out just check that the dump pipe doesnt restrict the wastegate flap from opening fully as thats an easy fix!

Otherwise it will be related to the hole being too small and unable to vent the gas's at higher rpms due to more exhaust wheel flow.
