External Gate - Who Got It...

[Dush]

Hey guys thinking of going external gate set up on my R33. Just curious on who is running an external gate set up?

I'm currently using s JPC high flowed turbo. Recently discovered that its not holding boost. after changing 500million wastgate actuators the problem is still there. Using a HKS adjustable now and the problem is still there, Slightly.

JPC don't wanna bar of me. Saying my turbo is fine and its my actuators so I'm thinkin of welding the internal actuator flap shut and runnin external gate...

So I got a few question for the people gunning gate..

1. Should i sell my current turbo and buy a new turbo with external gate?

2. I'm only making 220kw so what size external gate should i use?

3. I know cops love external gates - but I'll be using a low mount set up so whats the best way to keep it looking stock. I'll be running it plumed back in too..

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

low mount - will still fail EPA.Cops... thats because I did 3 years ago and the EPA/Cops are a lot smarter now than they were then.

The EPA are not silly, he found my gate and it was as hidden as it could get (inside the manifolds tubular curl etc) so yeah, in short not for a street car even if it is plumbed as its still illegal.

Since then ive got intenal gates, less noise and fun of course, but legal.

I'd go with option 1, but with internal gate rather than external

(something like a HKS 2835 given your current power, that turbo will do 250-270rwkw no problem)

Thanks for you advice R31Nismoid.

Why don't you get <workshop name> to supply you with an actuator that _they know works_,

on the proviso that if it doesn't fix the problem you'll give it back to them and they'll fix the problem with your turbo?

Then, if needed, sell your HKS actuator to cover the cost?

just plumb the external gate back into the exaust, just dont vent it to atmosphere, then you should be fine

^ its still illegal and you will fail.

I did.

this is a [Vic] state rule thing..............in some states its not illegal. Thats not to say that the police still won't defect you, they can defect just about anything, but when you front up to RTA/whatever, they may wonder why you were defected in the first place.
