Yes there are crap wastegates.There is speed of reaction, longevity to consider and of course getting the right size for your needs. Also correct mounting (most direct route for gases should be through w/g so off the turbo housing often best) . I bought a 50mm Synapse w/g which is one of the most expensive but there must be cheaper ones which will do the job.

and when it comes to size theres lots of factors including turbo size, manifold design and target boost. Kyle from 6 boost usually recommends bigger gates for his manifolds due to their design. think he usually recommends a 60mm

I'm not an expert on this, but yes there are a number of outcomes.

1. There are crap quality wastegates.

2. There are too small wastegates

3. There are too big wastegates.

4. There are poorly mounted wastegates.

5. There are wastegates with the wrong spring installed.

Hope that helps.

Hmmm. Thanks for the replies guys. I have ended up purchasing from ebay a jdm 50mm wastegate with an interchangeable 6 & 14 actuator. I'm hoping it does a good job but worst case senario I got a "v band" one so it's easily interchangeable. Cheers for the help though, if it doesnt work I'll change to the teil option ;)

Hey guyz i had the same question about what size wastegate do i need, ill be using a GTX3076 on a stock RB25 Neo running around 18-20 psi to make 300-320 Kw's... What size wastegate do i need and where can i get one from, ebay one's can be a bit tricky with the fakes..

    • Given by the sheer number of questions about offset, absolutely not. If you had the information formatted this way: Space from R34 GTT hub to outer arch = 100mm Space from R34 GTT inner hub to nearest suspension arm = 90mm. (making this up) Buying a wheel that was advertised as Enkei RPZ5 Diameter 18in Width 9 Distance to arch = 84mm Distance to suspension arm = 76mm 100% of people would know instantly if it fits. They would absolutely also know instantly how close it fits too, and no questions would need to be asked. You would know you would have 16mm from the guard and 14mm from the suspension arm.
    • Ah ok, for example for the apexi ecu I heard that it's pretty limited with the information it can give you. Also not sure why Nissan used the consult port over the obd2, what the idea there was.
    • Diagnosing with and without is mostly the same. You need to know, as Duncan asked, and what conditions. Car hot, cold, idling, driving, if while driving what rpms, is when you're varying, or is it when held constant.   From there it's understanding what can be causing it. Starting with pretending all of the sensors are correct. Which means if it's going rich, why would it be thinking more air is going in than it is, and under what conditions. So things like if only when under boost, it could be be a loose intake piping joint. It's just understanding the system, and understanding when/how the problem occurs, and then if it's only occuring in specific scenarios, what can be causing it.   ECU specifically, if it's aftermarket, it'll have software you can use, for the Skylines on factory ECU, there is Nissan Consult you can use. Most ECUs have a way to get data from them.
    • How do you go about diagnosing ecu's that don't have data logging, is it more experience at that point and just trying out things that you think will fix the issue?
    • Stock O2 are basically useless beyond anything at stoich. Any misfire will also be seen as lean. The stock O2 also read a collective exhaust gas volume, not each cylinder. Sputtering and missing means not each cycle is firing, and some are. Which means even if rich, as shit, on cylinders as they miss, they'll read lean, but the cylinders that did fire will read rich, and combined, well, they can read anything from rich to lean.   Start with the basics before even going looking at sensor values.   Edit: I say the above, and that's coming from the guy with a few thousand dollars worth of scan tools sitting right beside me right now that I use frequently for my job.
