Dampers, turbo's and wastegates...

Get ya tits....erm i mean pic's out ladies....

 

Don't forget if you have an external wastegate you are gonna have to shut the fooker up if you wanna do trackdays!

 

 

fcuk me, thats tight!

 

There's some pictures in the gallery of my website of a GT30 equipped Cossie...

 

Wicked Porkie!

 

Not on a cossie I know, but has GT series internals, my turbo etc...

 

Work of art Steve

 

These look cool, very tidy Steve!

 

That don't help me tho steve

 

Dingly,
But neither will Cossies, as you have less space than even an Escort Cos .

 

Never said it was for my car did i

And there is the same amount of room as an escos

 

Best Flow – Symmetric Mounting
Symmetric mounting allows an excellent flow of exhaust to the Pro-Gate.

Good Flow – Angled Mounting
Angled mounting allows a good flow of exhaust to the Pro-Gate.

Poor Flow – 90 Degree Mounting
90 degree mounting gives poor exhaust flow to the Pro-gate and in some
circumstances may contribute to over boosting.

Not recommended – Less than 90 Degree Mounting
An angled mounting as shown is not recommended and gives extremely
poor exhaust flow to the Pro-Gate.

So why do most people mount them at 90%??????

 

here we go again!!!!!

 

 

 

well that managed to kill the thread

sorry ding

 

Ryan, people are wondering why you are talking about angles and then mentioned percentages

 

Good point....

But where is the little degree's circle on a keyboard?????

Had a look once before but couldn't find anything!!!

 

seeing as you didn't specify which GT:

 

yeah there isnt a degree button

well either way you knew what i meant

 

PMSL

90°

Thought you worked in IT ryan

 

i dont work in IT dingle

never have done

 

oh and i couldnt be arsed to use the character map

 

About the 90deg thing, not ideal, but not a big deal, if it controls boost, it controls boost, its not a power or responce issue.

All it means is a smaller gate is capable of controling the boost if at a better angle, and bearing in mind we all use big gates and never seem to have a problem, it dont matter a toss.

 

I had a quick look Ryan, I couldn't find the specific symbol but after a thorough and extensive search I did find the following.

a 'D' key, an 'E' key, a 'G' key and an 'R' key. I'm pretty sure your keyboard has these as well matey. Hope that helps

 

Ryan,
So what's this then : 90°

 

cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooont

 

90° THERE!

HAPPY?

Now answer the question mike

 

Sorry Steve, thats not quite true.
Its a common misconception that the wastegate solely controls boost, but it doesnt.
Have a quick read of my turbo essay and then look at the turbine housing size and what fundamental change happens to the turbine housing when we reach peak programmed boost pressure and the boost control starts.....

 

Ryan,
The tubular manifold I supply, is so good that with the TIAL 46mm wastegate wide open and at 7k, a GT30 can only produce 5-6psi. I think you could safely say that it is pretty good .

Compare that to a standard T4's normal unmodified wastegate penny, which would still see nearly 2 bar fully opened at the same revs .

 

Stu- TBH once id wrote it i realised i wasnt "quite" correct

I cant read the essay tho, not a gold member

 

THought it was an ASCII code LOL...

Thought you worked in IT before mate, what did u do before

 

Not me mate, worked for the government in social housing

never worked in IT

 

THAT IS A WORK OF ART

 

My old set-up GT35 & Turbosmart.
New GT40 arrived today & new manifold is due tomorrow. So soon be going again.

 

Can anyone tell me were i get that special heatproof type shielding that keeps the wastegate/screamerpipe from setting fire to my underbonnet area

 

Jon,
