Hi ppl,

Im not quite sure about this, but is it possible to fit a external waste gate on a low mount manifold?

I know its possible on a high mount, but i dont want any more cop hassles than i already do.

is there any way around it?

any help would be great.

thanks.

it is possible without a doubt, but i think youd have to have a special manifold casted or made up to do so. why wouldnt it be possible, the only way to go here is custom, from your car ( i thaught i read that you have a R33 GTST) id take the example of the GTR 700, which is rubnning a low mount twin turbo setup with external gates, so i think a custom manifold would so the job, i dont know what the price is of these custom setups over there, but i can have em made at my job. ( i litteray live on the other side of the world assuming you live in australia. make sure they use SUS 304 stainless steel and they have to MIG weld it, and oh yea for better resuts the individual header pipes need to be uniform in thickness and the need to be as smooth as possible on the inside

I think HKS have one, or you can pay to have one made

I have a HKS low mount manifold with a Turbonetics 40mm external wastegate...

No shiny pipes for me, although admittedly the wastegate isn't exactly hard to find if you know what you're looking for :huh:

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????

      Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
