from my testings, running the same turbo externally gated on turbine housing with stock manifold made less power then the same turbo on aftermarket manifold internally gated, and even lesser against aftermarket manifold externally gated.

Turbine housing has been untouched all times, the manifold is restrictive. So scientific solution would be attaching the external gate to the manifold. But factory manifold is twin log, do them properly requires extra work and skills, (I'm in process of building one at moment) while external gate from turbine housing makes the job easier.

my car with turbo mounted on housing made the same power as Jez with an aftermarket manifold....

so it seems to me it does a perfectly good job munted to the housing..

i have seen similar comparisons with garrett turbos as well

plus its just easier on the housing and doesn't look like balls :)

My preferred spot is off the exhaust housing too...and that way you can mount the gate at a desireable angle as well which always helps..,,

So many prefer the gate off the housing but one still claims the manifold is better...I know who I'd listen to....

Woudn't you have to run a turbo with standard manifold with gate of standard manifold, and then mount it to housing to do a back to

back, to make that call? I like it of the exhaust, because i never have to worry about my stock manifold cracking and redoing it, just replace manifold, and 2nd, on a stagea a ex gate fits a lot better on the exhaust housing room wise

I've been considering getting s external wastegate welded to my HKS 2535. A tail 38. Who has the skills to do this for me? As I'm far from being a competent welder lol.

I like the idea of off the housing because if the housing is the point of greatest restriction then the gate should work best there and its also further away from the collector,

there might be better scavenging effect with it further away from the collector is my thinking.. :whistling:

Yo yo
In need of some advice! I don't know if should weld my waste off my standard manifold or if I should weld it of my turbo rear housing

You just love showing that porn off, don't you Bob. :P

It's a little 'In your face' for us over the pond though mate, hence why I prefer low mounting and hiding the gate.

Porn is right!

I agree its hell in your face, but the wastegate exit is in line with where the gasses exit the manifold, so not really any other option if you want the best flowpath i suppose.

If i was doing it again it would be my choice. Vband off the housing and leave the stock manifold be.

I remember Corky bell had a couple of pics in Maximum Boost of turbos with the waste gate mount welded to the turbine housing . I think his theory was that if you make it easy for the exhaust gasses to enter the waste gate it will work well . If the gasses have to make a 90 degree exit into the gate like say an integral wastegate system does then the higher the gas speed is the less its inclined to change direction and flow out the valve when its open .

Gate positioning would have something to do with how often you want to change the turbo or its turbine housing too , simpler spannering if its mounted on the manifold .

A .

Those tail manis look awesome. And make it very easy spannering with the v/band clamp as Scotty nm35 said 1 nut and it's off. What more could you want for making life easy. :)

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
