edit..again

JGM.
you have to look closely at that wastegatepipe
It's not a hole but the actual pipe bending down and backwards.
the greyer colour round it is the floor.

Oh and David.
I don't like the protrusion of wastegate pipe into the up pipe, are you grinding that off/ flush ??

Andy

Picture removed...

No offence !

Hi David,
I am pleased that after many months of late nights and much project frustration that you still know how complete the simple tasks like where to put your ****
Hopefully I will get a chance to say hello at TOTB II - good luck!
Regards,
Callum

 

Callum,

Was it you that sent it??

If so Thankyou!!

David

Unfortuatley Im RTM'ing this to get some **** removed as its turning into diy fmic..

David

 

It was me that sent it & you are very welcome! I get a huge amount of fun out of reading about your endeavours so thanks for that. Keep the head down & I look forward to seeing the results on the 3rd.
Best wishes,
Callum

 

RTM?

 

Report to moderator.

And what was wrong with all 60 pages of the DIY FMIC Thread?

 

The funny thing is i was going to ask the same as you Simon
For a while i thought that was the hole in the subframe

David, assuming that the wastegate is going on the end of that pipe (read assuming again), should it not be closer to the up pipe itself??
Are you going to wrap the headers?

Are you happy with them?

so many questions

Rob

 

right..

I got really pissed off trying to do it.. so worked out roughly where the pipe should go.. took and off cut and tack welded it on in (three places).. Then turned power up full and burnt a big hole through... 1" dia.. then stuck die grinder in and opened it out enough to get pipe in and position it.. still waiting to be sure b4 welding it up..

David

 

Cool, speakin to Paul last night...
if you are passing through herts on your travels give me a shout

Rob

 

David,

What's the reasoning behind using so many pumps & filters?

 

Wreckleford

simple 500bhp+

Dan

 

I thought I was with you then.. but that's the up pipe..

Surely the wastegate pipe work will be in the downpipe or straight off the turbo.. having a closer look looks like what I was looking at was the exhaust from the other bank coming up and connecting in.. cannot be sure though..

Simon

 

Simon

Because it's a remote mount wastegate it takes its supply prior to the turbo and then dumps it either into the downpipe (hence bypassing the turbo) or in this case dumps it direct to atmosphere .......unsilenced

Which of course means the car is not road legal and will be banned from TOTB but don't tell David, you'll just upset him

Geez, I'm bored having nothing left to do to the car , I wish TOTB was tomorrow

Andy

 

External wastegate Simon
As andy says... it dumps pressure/gas before reaching the turbo.

Rob

 

Andy.. Fit nitrous

Rob

 

David - haven't looked at this for a while, keep it up!

I can't make TOTB2, but I expect Steven to have some footage for me to watch the next night (Buckles IS the 4th isn't it..) assuming you make it go

 

it will go.. and if it does it will come to buckles inn..

david

 

I'll look forward to seeing it

 

Oh.. I knew it was dumping to atmos but assumed the downpipe would be where it split etc..

Just take a small moped silencer, then if you get any trouble at TOTB David just weld it on quick (assuming there is a welder avaiable).

Simon

 

Im most likely taking a welder they can FO if they think thats going back into the dp.. the skylines do the same..

I also know that trouts does the same.. (he has a silencer on it though )

why don't you take a moped silencer and sleeve the end so if you have to use it, its just a u-blot away? NO welding

 

Buzz, i will be busy driving not taking pictures

 

I shall be filming all

Rob

 

I probably have a lawn mower silencer in the shed if you want it.

Andy.F I hope you are busy refitting your cats then mate.. lol..

Simon

 

Steven - thats a poor excuse Good luck mate - mind that gearbox! (assuming you've repaired it of course, or don't you need third? )

Rob - hope you've got somewhere to host then, 'cos I want to see this bad boy fly
