Hks External Wastegate Spring

[abu]

Hey

I am after a different spring for the older style HKS external gates

Looking for something around 14psi - Just wondering if anyone knows where I can get one from, or a part number or something similar for the one I need

Can I use a spring from a differnt brand of external gate?

Are they all the same/similar?

Something around Melbourne preferred - Will swap for my 0.7 bar (10 psi) spring if anyone wants

I have also attached pictures of the HKS external gate I am referring too

no one knows?

Pull the spring out, measure its height and width, post it up

[GeeTR]

TiAL 44mm

10psi spring

Height - 600mm

Width - 106mm

Wire Width - 4.8mm

5psi Spring

Height - 475mm

Width - 35mm

Wire Width - 3.75mm

PS: Too tired to test bind height, but it cold be guesstimated i assume.

If more users posted various gate's and springs, you could find something your after.

Thanks GeeTR

Would TiAL and HKS wastegate springs be similar, would they be interchangeable?

but still.. I need to know where I can get these springs from

i think you need a new ruler.....

either you have a massive gate, or your spring is over half a meter high.....

Anyplace that sells a particular gate, should sell the manufactures extra springs as well, be it here or the US / Japan.

No idea, but they wont if they're not the correct size. They could not seat on the actuator top or hat center, or even bind on each other (if running two springs)

But those of similar dimensions (inc the gates actuator internal dimensions) will be ok.

I think your right - was tired. Id assume its 60mm, ill check again and edit in the morning

EDIT: course you cant EDIT posts over a few hours old on SAU, which is teh ghey.

Those X and Y figures need a decimal place between last and second last digit obviously

SAU has failed

A thread full of WG spring details could have been really useful to those with odd ball units - come on!
