wastegate problem

[TiiM iiS l3eAsT]

alright after really lookin at it i put my turbo/adapter plate/hf manifold together......and well im almost positive my internal wastegate is going to hit the block....idk heres some pics of it.....ive measured it and i went out and looked in my engine bay and its gonna hit.....what can i do???? i dont wanna switch over to a external wastegate though.....

Try it out..

test fit, might need to rig something up.

or get a custom plate that rotates the turbo. or go external gate

thats the first time ive ever heard someone say that

i would RATHER have external, much more reliable. controls boost better also.

 

[--<EM1>--]

ive seen people cut the block near the tranny but i might be wrong.

d-series? i would test fit. can't hurt at all

you might need to grind the webbing, but the only way to tell is to try it.

i have a horribly complicated idea. turn the turbo around on the manifold. problem solved.

Sure, do it the easy way...

then it would hit his rad.

more reliable? i dont think so. able to support higher boost levels and power output better? sure.

if external were more reliable, all factory turbocharged cars would be extenal. i think that the 99% that run internal might know that internal is extremely reliable considering the warranty and vehicle longevity they have to think about.

on thread topic, chances are it will hit the block. its a t3 right? from what ive read almost all t3 internals hit the block with a HF manifold

s**t yea its a t3.....ill just test fit it and we'll see how it goes from there

Damn you and your LOGIC!

which is why most turbo guys run a half size radiator. you can get them on ebay for 150 bucks. its the only way thats gonna fit, unless you dont mind grinding your block down to the water jackets.

i bought one of those 1" thick core aluminum half rads on ebay, the ones that run like $45 shipped..

been working great for 1.5 years now, cant complain at all

not to thread jack or anything but i live in the desert and can see temperatures as high as 120*, how well do you think the 1" core radiators will stand up to that heat on a turbo b16? or can you recommend a good size radiator so i dont have over heating problems

i live in the desert as well and see 110+ pretty consistantly. if your rad is properly setup(like stock so no air moves past, must go through) the radiator should cool just fine. if not, there are those Mishumoto or whatever rads on ebay for about $150. they are 2" thick, and solid aluminum, no plastic endcaps like mine.

any all aluminum half size with at least a 2" thick core (a 2.5 or 3" is best for a turbo car) and aluminium tanks should be just fine.

my t25 came close... I had to cut out the ac bracket.
