Wastegate Issue on D16
 

Well I went to install my turbo project last weekend, and ran into a issue. I cant fit the internal wastegate between the trubo and block. I am going to run a 14B on a HF manifold on a D16Z6. My question is, how have those who are running this setup installed their wastegates? If you have done this very install and have pictures of what you have please pm or post them here please!!! This is the last thing I have so I can boost my car!!! I have been waiting almost a year to do this, so please please help me out.

adjust the turbo and make a new braket for the WG arm ?

I adjusted the turbo so that the j-pipe would work, my problem is that I cant fit the wastegate between the block and turbo, I know I have to make a bracket, but I dont know exactly where it needs to be or whether or not I have to shorten or lengthen the arm.

Re: Wastegate Issue on D16
 

As far as shortening or leangthening the arm taht will depend on where you make the braket.

If its hitting on the web on the block near the ac condensor mount,most people just gring that down.Just be carefull not to go all the way through.

u have a/c on that ex?

Re: Wastegate Issue on D16
 

if you cant get enough clearance... just mount the wastegate farther away (either bolt it to somthing else and/or make a new bracket that lets you use a mounting bolt from somthing else) and then use some threaded rod or if your really ghetto, coat hanger or somthing and connect the wastegate flapper to the actuator end.

if you make the arm longer doesnt it lower your boost?

Re: Wastegate Issue on D16
 

only from where it sits at stock

if you have the flapper againist the outlet when you make a longer rod, then it will still work like it should.

No A/C, it was only weighting me down!!

then bend the actuator bracket and bolt it to one of the a/c mount bolts
