hey all.

just purchased a gt3076r .82

http://www.tweakit.net/shop/product_info.p...roducts_id=1023

now i need to mount my external wastegate but i only have the stock rb25 exhaust manifold..

the manifold has been ported to flow better.

so my Question is where do i put the external wastegate??

i have herd of ppl putting adator plates between turbo and manifold but where do i find a Vband adaptor?

i have also herd ppl weld them to the stock manifold?

or is it best to get a manifold with wastegate spot?

i dont wanna spend $1300 on a 6boost either (i know there awsome)

cheers all..

oh.. so get a hole made in the exhaust housing of the turbo?

does this mean disassebling the turbo?

so cut a hole weld a vband adaptor on and then add wastegate?

i just dont wanna mess around with the turbo..

hmm..

Weld a small outcropping off the turbine housing, it has to be done in the right spot/angle though i believe as there is a wrong and a right way.

Although, that turbo will do over 300rwkw, and it's known that the stock manifold is very much a problem so honestly you would be better off saving and putting on a decent manifold.

I have a .82 rear housing for sale with the pipe welded to the housing for a wastegate. Done by Kyle from 6BOOST.

After $400 for it.

The housing is also ceramic-coated.

This was high mounted so you might need to cut the pipe and rotate it to clear the strut tower, might not though.

I'm not sure but isnt the turbine housing cast iron as well as the stock manifold which might crack if not welded properly???

If so why not just weld in a pipe off the manifold as close as possible to the flange instead of messing with the housing.

A stock manifold is far cheaper and easier to get than a turbine housing!

thanks dave but im gonna get someone to weld onto mine.

will have a crack with the manifold adaptor but dont think it will clear the strut tower.

ill just weld an adaptor to the top of the exhaust manifold.. and save up for a 6boost..

just a meantime thing just to get car back on the road.

id rather not touch the turbo for re-sale purposes but might just have to..

theres nothing really wrong with doing the adaptor with gate pipe route. I've done a few cars like that and they have made decent power (around the 300 mark) with stock exhaust manifolds and low mount still. while it might not be optimal for the last poofteenth of power. it does work and allows decent packaging in the engine bay.

These adaptors you've used are custom designs???

All i have seen being sold have threaded holes for use with studs on both ends so a nut would not work to tighten it up to the manifold even if the threads were drilled out on one side to accommodate the existing studs on the manifold, especially the side with the port for the wg there is simply no room for a nut

ok so i sorted my issue and bought a hks cast manifold.. now the standard 35mm wastegate wont be suitable so i been looking at 50mm..

came across this.. http://justjap.com/store/product.php?produ...at=0&page=1

would this be suitable to bolt onto the hks wastegate port?

i dot have $800 to spend on a tial or turbosmart atm..

cheers

What makes you say the 35mm w/g wont be suitable, the turbo that came with that kit isnt much smaller than what you have. Whats the minimum boost you want to run. My 50mm on HKS manifold would happily run down to 10 psi with a bigger turbo than a 3076

Read the FI Guide - has a link detailing wastegate sizing, how to calculate rather than "someone told me".

Although you want to get as close to 19psi as you possibly can, less work the boost controller has to do the better

    • Welp, too late already committed to the cam cover breathers to be welded on. I did think about adding a catch can in line with the drivers side sump breather as a phase 2 along with a drain to the sump on the original catch can but with an inline ball valve so I can have it closed if needed.    Likely a single breather would have been enough but I think I’m overcompensating to hopefully not have to empty my catch can and clean up oil over flow every session.    out of curiosity has anyone actually measured crank case pressure before and after various mods? I’m considering adding a sensor for science 
    • Is it a dog or synchro box? I guess either way, if it is new and crunching in one gear only, it has to come out and go back to the shop to check/measure as there is either an assembly or manufacturing issue
    • These are small points I should actually add to my original post. GKtech makes an extended slave line for this conversion. It's what I use, and it works well. You'll also need a CD009 slave cylinder.  S/R Chassis Z33/Z34 Conversion braided clutch line As for transmission sensors, you'll need to both extend the wiring and replace the connectors. I can't recall which is which, but one is your neutral switch and the other the reverse switch. As they are just switches, just test for continuity with your transmission in neutral or reverse to figure out which is which. Connectors:  VQ35 neutral Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties VQ35 Reverse Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties 
    • I’ll try and see it could be the release bearing. As for the 4th gear grind maybe clutch doesn’t disengage properly cause it is slightly like very slightly hard to go into first could be due to the slab cylinder pin being short uni clutch is a twin plate.   Ive attached some assembly photos hopefully you can open the link and see maybe detect what’s wrong https://share.icloud.com/photos/0dc2YvW__Hl6jl-l2_0jejjpg https://share.icloud.com/photos/09e0jkWOK-vP48c1cfY6u3ViA https://share.icloud.com/photos/0b4rDmh5R7pK7fb1VtND73a3g https://share.icloud.com/photos/05eeUi_6dC4DVi80jOUYDgb0g https://share.icloud.com/photos/06335TgY1XxyIJal_wkdQLhzw
    • Yeah for sure that is peddle adjustment
