Ive got a hks manifold with wastegate (not installed yet) but my 2535 uses an internal wategate. Is it possible to weld the internal wastegate and simply use the 40mm exernal wastegate?

I guess the benefits i would like to see is that the airflow from the wategate and turbo are separated although this can also be achieved by a a split dump pipe...

can anyone shed some light

Im thinking of doing the same wit hthe same turbo :(

I was going to get another dump pipe flage and weld flat flat on it. Then cut out a hole for the turbine exit (i think it's roughly 2inch) then step it out to 3inch.

you have to weld the hole where the wastegate flapper is

then make sure its smooth on the inside so it doesnt hinder flow

no you dont, just make sure it cant open, welding up the wastegate hole in the housing will just cause you dramas such as cracks, and it will take 100 hours to diegrind the weld down so it is smooth

of course you dont have to

but if you dont do it properly its just hindering flow :rolleyes:

I dont want to tack the flapper so if i sell the turbo. Instead i will make a solid rod(take off the actuator) so it is locked and wont open and if it do'es who cares as the dump pipe will be sectioned off :laugh:

      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..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      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.
