And didn't you lift a head or blow your motor?

Squeezing all that pressure into a tiny T3 flange, then releasing all that pressure after the restriction is counter intuitive. That's why as soon as people go to high mounts they pick up power but it's not so much the high mount it's more so the exhaust gasses be bleed off before the collector.

Boost control is subjective, and your 6tits probably doesn't have twin gates off it or the merge between both scrolls to the gate was poor.

If you ever have an exhaust pressure sensor or gauge on the collector you'll understand.

Is there any difference having wastegate on manifold at / before collector over the turbine housing?

Yep, you'll reduce exhaust back pressure, make more power, less things glowing on the hot side.

I did that only mod and with the same timing map, same boost, same turbo (except it was a BB centre this time round, same comp/turbine wheel) and made extra 20kW off the bat.

Wouldn't the actual restriction be the actual turbine housing itself?
By my understanding of pressure, the pressure inside the manifold would not be altered depending on where the gate was, as long as it's between the head and the turbine wheel.

I had 1 gate in both setups, and a 45mm gate off the housing vs a 50mm gate off the 6boost. You can tell just by looking at it which gate is in the better spot for flow.

I agree with you, going external gate does free up power, once you start to really get the most out of any specific turbo. IWG's of any kinds (Even on EFR's!) seem to just not cut it once you really, really want to get the most out of a rear housing.


In this example though, the engine is likely to let go before the turbo or gate really even gets involved as a point of discussion

Here's a thought experiment.

Let's say that the exhaust gas needs to be split 50/50 between the gate and the turbine.  If the ext gate is on the turbine housing, then you are shoving double the amount of gas into the housing than if the gate was on the manifold somewhere.  Either way, we want the same 50% to make it all the way to the nozzle, but in the region between the flange and the housing mounted gate, the gas velocity must be double.  Pressure losses go up with the square of velocity.  So whatever frictional losses occur, they are doubled.  The exhaust gas is losing energy before it has even made it to the turbine.  It must therefore not be as good as if it was vented before the housing.

The difference might not be large, but it will be there.

The one big advantage of putting the gate on the housing is that it is easier to put it in a spot where the gas is definitely flowing towards the gate (because all the gas is flowing that way anyway) which makes it a little harder to f**k it up the way that people do when they put ext gate offtakes onto manifolds at bizarre angles.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
