any advice on external gate ? i'm trying to decide between the turbosmart 40mm comp gate and 45mm hypergate....

hypergears own 50mm one is good and cheaper than the others.

Cool! well i've ordered the turbo, Stao doesn't have any wastegates at the moment. So i was thinking what size would be best and it made me wonder how to size it properly.. i spoke to a mate of mine said the larger the turbine housing the smaller the gate required and the smaller the housing the larger the gate required. does this sound right.. sort of does to me. there's a $150 difference between a 40mm and 45mm turbosmart gate..

Big turbo big boost = small gate

Big turbo small boost = big gate

Small turbo big boost = small gate

Small turbo small boost = medium gate

That's how I have seen a few people here size gates. *waits for Scotty*

I run 45mm usually, you can't run too much gate imo, it only helps with top end power after all, but 40 will be fine.

I can get the Turbosmart 45mm cheaper than the 40 at the moment. PM me for price. ;)

That's an immaculate fit Johnny. Good to see more SS2 turbos feeding air to these motors! Did you get the hot side of your turbo modified to suit the external or did that come from Hypergear as an option? I'm thinking about running an external but I'd like to maintain the standard dump pattern.

Thanks man!

I actually got the rear housing sent to scotty_nm35 to modify. I opted for the v band rear because I absolutely hate the nissan 6 bolt flange, always snap bolts lol

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything
