Project 24

[Roy]

There is high temp sheathing that will cover the line you run for the wastegate and from there you can always take the rubber hose (for length) down to your local hydraulic hose guy and get them to make one up. Even if they needs to use a reducign bush for the M5 conneciton

[murrayis]

Roy the problem with where the gate sits is there no room around the fittings as you can see in the pic below which you can see where the lines liquified.

[zebra]

what about some heat wrap around the top of the gate and around the lines? wont look pretty but would help

[CEF11E]

its going to be tight to find something that will fit in there.

I would take out the nipples and braze some brass tube onto them that is about 40mm long and then have a olive/sleeve collet fitting connecting to a braided line. that way you can screw the original fittings in place and leave them in place and screw the lines in situ.

hope this makes sense. just take the gate with the fittings to pirtek/enzed and tell them what you want to do probably cost a bit but it will work and withstand 100's of degrees.

cheers!

Wht not just get a hydraulic elbow straight onto there, either threaded or just get an alloy speedflow bend and weld it on as i am assuming the hat of the gate is alloy so brazing is not really possible

[murrayis]

Once I get the car back I dont think I will have any choice but take the gate off and see what Enzed and Pirtek can do.

Roy, Yea gate cap is billet.

I spoke to NYTSKY who has the same gate he said he just used normal silicon but I assume his gate is mounted a tad further away from the main heat source.

[AD4M]

sard makes a high temp silicon hose i've used on a couple of wastegates now with no issues

even the thick stuff that comes with greddy ebc kits works well

[murrayis]

AD4M, Thanks for that any links to suppliers who stock it?

Quick Update - Found the oil leak.... Appears the oil filter isnt done up quite enough so when the car gets dropped off this arvo I'll fix that up, Then I just have to get a replacement CAS and see if that resolves the problem with it not running.

[neo32]

on the subject of the wastegate air feed could u drill and tap it to bigger more common size?

[murrayis]

Kyle,

I was thinking something along those lines but for the lower hose there isnt the room to do so so I still am stuck with the problem

[murrayis]

SPent a little time today trying to work out why it wont run, All injectors fire and all sparkplugs spark so not sure whats going on with it :S

[murrayis]

I think I have nutted it out... I changed the plugs and away she went after changing Ignitors and coils to my spares all it was was $17 worth of spark plugs!

[zebra]

dont you just love the little things like that =\

[murrayis]

dont you just love the little things like that =\

No lol If I knew it was that easy I would of fixed it while it was still on the dyno Grrrr.

least yours goes....

[Roy]

So Cameron, how is this all going?

[huddy]

any updates on this? I'd love to hear that it's all completed and running.

[murrayis]

No real updates, been busy with work and other unexpected things.

I have over christmas installed a new Haltech ECU to replace the Adaptronic, I have just finished wiring up all the sensors etc and all that is remaining is to make a alloy bracket for the map sensor.

I also am trying to find a decent Catch can with -8 / -10 an fittings so I can plum in the breathers.

Once I find a some spare weekends I'll stick it on a trailer and take it to the dyno to start fresh with the tune.

Cheers

There is nothing decent readily available on the market, you will need to make one. -10 fittings are the way to go

I am looking to make something similar to what RIPS have done for their customers, fitting it where the battery tray is.

[murrayis]

Yea I was looking at making some similar but I have my piping going down through that area. I'm waiting to hear back from JNT Performance to see if they have one.
