looking for some feed back/opinions on these wastegates................as ive always run the old school garrett 32mm and 42mm gates............never used tial or turbosmart gates before........i have 2 38mm mvs gates and 2 45mm hypergates

any info be a real help

Edited by stocker

im not interested in sizes i know how gate work the smalller the gate the less gas it let 'sso theres more gas to spin the turbine ie high boost and big gate let out more gas for less turbine speed ie low boost ...........im more interested how they perform,hold boost,longevity of the gate in question,issues with the two brands etc

Both are very high quality gates. I havent ha a gate "wear out" only the cheap evay gates are a little dodgy as the valves dont seat 100% and theres too much play in the valve guide

Not sure bout turbosmart but the Tial allows coolant to run thru the top, does anyone run coolant thru or not worth it?

Ive been told all the Tials are just cheaply made in china? is this right or are they made in US?

i was planning on running the coolant if i end up using the tials

hi you find the real tials are us made but there are a whole heap of china tial knock off getting about.................before you buy a tial gate get the s/n and email it ti tial they tell you if its legit or not ...............but funny thing is turbosmart are made in china or what ever,yrs ago turbosmart use to have a hughe yearly sale of 2nds at wetherill park..........but there moved there manufacturing plants o/s

wtf happened there?

lol, well personally i think the Tial looks the goods, i have a 44mm Tial and its a large unit, looks pretty hardcore compared to turbo smart. I havnt seen it work yet though and a newbee with this :whistling:

Yep, we have a Tial 38mm running straight off a turbo housing in a low mount application...which would get mega hot compared to having it off the manifold at the collector. It runs the coolant through it and the boost curve is straighter than a ruler.

Under racing conditions where everything gets super hot and the metals and welding are under most strain, the coolant helps lower temps down and prolong the life of the wastegate. The diaphram's life will be extended, as rubber perishes from heat over time.

I prefer TIAL gates as weve had ONE genuine TS gate jam. Theyre both good designs and nice and compact. The feature of the coolant cooling is favourable if youre racing it, but whether you have room for the lines (assuming twin scroll since youre using 2) or not is another thing to consider.

i got a 2jzgte aristo champ i would run them off the top water neck i would just get some alloy weld on 3/8th bungs to feed the gates the cool coolant and feed them back in to the alloy radiator to cool the colant exiting the gates opinions ?

i got some hks 2jzgte twin turbo manifolds with t3 flanges welded to them works out good for my twin td06's........is that a bad idea to feed the hot coolant out of the gates into the turbo'sor vise versa blake...............ive hidden the fusebox in the clovebox etc,deleted alot of stuff..........blake is going to be welding me in a custom tunnel

    • Have you put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge on and verified your oil pressure?   Noise being on the block, on exhaust side, how high up the block does it seem to be? It could be the VCT system getting cranky, especially if it's mainly at idle, and when warm, as that'll be your lowest point for oil pressure. Could be showing that oil passages / VCT solenoid are blocking.
    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?
