dual wastegate using external and internal?
 

I've had this idea lately, since I have a T3/T04E with a internal setup, and a manifold using an external, why couldn't I utilize both simultaneously to prevent boost spike? I could just T off the line going to the external and run it to the internal as well.. any input?

Re: dual wastegate using external and internal?
 

btw, i'm going for fairly large numbers on a b16 daily driver with 9:1 c/r.. hoping for ~400 minimal, so I was thinking the single 35mm gate could use some help

Re: dual wastegate using external and internal?
 

yes. The problem with internals is they usually don't stay shut and cause you to build boost later/not build as much as you want. But if all you're worried about is spiking, I don't see why it would hurt anything.

Re: dual wastegate using external and internal?
 

trying to regulate both wastegates would be the trick
they arent gonna wanna open at the same time so youll have to use a pair of boost controllers and set them independant of each other so you can match the boost between them

Re: dual wastegate using external and internal?
 

Boost spike= the wastegate's inability to bleed off exhaust quickly enough. IE with the proper manifold/ext. gate you shouldnt have this problem anyway.

If your running the internal gate on such a large turbo and having spiking issues, switch to the ext. gate and rig the int. gate shut.
Keep it simple. Dont overcomplicate a simple concept.

Just keep it simple :S run a 38mill

Re: dual wastegate using external and internal?
 

true.. i've seen a lot of high hp setups running dual 38mm ext. gates so i figured that running the internal would be a cheap solution.. i might still try it for shits and giggles

Re: dual wastegate using external and internal?
 

What sort of power level are you shooting for? Most of us nogs dont have the income to afford a 'high hp' setup. Much less keep it running...

Re: dual wastegate using external and internal?
 

400whp on pump gas.. similar to dustins setup (before he ate a valve)

Re: dual wastegate using external and internal?
 

400 on a b16 with pump gas, ehhhh. not likely.

im not saying it cant be done, but i have never seen it

Re: dual wastegate using external and internal?
 

wishful thinking I suppose.. planning on experimenting with a meth/water injection setup too

Re: dual wastegate using external and internal?
 

Just run a good external and you will be fine.

Re: dual wastegate using external and internal?
 

with meth you have have a better chance

Re: dual wastegate using external and internal?
 

crystal meth?

Re: dual wastegate using external and internal?
 

what other kinds of meth matter?

Re: dual wastegate using external and internal?
 

isn't that the meth injection everyone talks about?

Re: dual wastegate using external and internal?
 

You have to heat it in a spoon before you shoot it.

Mad horsepower for about 3 days!


I toyed with the idea of running external/internall. Then i gave my 38mm to stubbs for a cdm blow off valve.

K.I.S.S.

Keep it simple, stupid.

Re: dual wastegate using external and internal?
 

x2 either run one or the other. Either get one of the aftermarket internal gat housing that has a much larger wastegate flapper and open your ex. housing up with a die grinder....or just use a 38 or 40mm external gate

Re: dual wastegate using external and internal?
 

------- with an internal gate is such a pain in the dick though.

Might as well go external so if the turbo takes a dump, you can sell the bitch on ebay and still have a wastegate that you can do whatever with.

I HATE clocking turbos with internal gates. My t25 was a ------- chore and a half in my faggot non turbo eclipse. I had to chew up a good starter plate to make a bracket for the can. ---- an internal gate.

Stubbs, i'm a retard but you're enjoying the fruits of my retardedness much, i'm sure.

I'm drunk and i'm getting off the internet to get some dirty nasty sex. She's clean, i'm the one who hasn't showered after a long day of work. ZING! DIRTY DICK! SCHWEATY BALLS!

Re: dual wastegate using external and internal?
 

that wastegate has been badass for me.

Only problem now it I think I seized my engine last night and ruined my turbo. Good think I have AAA. I am going to pull the oilpan today and see what I find
