ive just got the xs power external wastegate for my mr2 and it didnt come with any instructions on how to pipe it up, i know were to fit it lol, but i dont know were im suposed to fit the tubing and pressure regulator, so if any1 could pass on some advice on this? cheers
Theres 2 diffent ways to hook this up.
1. There is a External Wastegate Adapter for the standard manifold
2. There is a downpipe with a wategate pipe. new manifold required
In both methods you'll need a scremer pipe and also maybe a turbo blanking plate. Depends on how you want to hook it up
yer ive got the dwnpipe which the wastegate connects to, and i know about the screamer pipe im just waiting for xs power to get them in stock. what i was wondering was were the hoses go? i think i know but not 100% sure, what i think is that: the port on top of the wastegate goes to my pressure regulator, then from there it goes to a T piece in the vacum hose from my inlet manifold (where the vacum hose from my dunp valve is) and then back to the bottom port of my wastegate? that right?
one goes to the turbo case and the other is off the vacume hose if i remmember right.
I've got a pic at home on my pc. I'll get it when i'm back next
what do you mean turbo case? theres no were for it to go on the case, i have a t3/t4 turbo, but maybe the pic will explain better, cheers
Yea there is you need to take it off the old turbo and there is a plug (was brass on mine) that needs taking out the new turbo near the were the compressed air comes out
on the image it the small hole on the top right
i can see were you mean but there is no hole there, it has been welded up, can i just drill it and tap it?
Thats very strange as the t3 xs power kit looks something like this
I wouldn't drill the turbo at all mate you'll do damageweaken it. It's better to some how get a off between the turbo out put and the inlet manifold (some sort of T peace).
its not an xs power turbo, i got the turbo from ultimate velocity, the manifold, dwnpipe and wastegate are from xs power. i tried sendin a pic ov my turbo but the file is 2 big, i could send it through email if you give me ur address and then ull see exactly what i mean, and also, what do i do with the old water pipes? just blank them off? (goin to the turbo i mean)
Yea just blank them off dude there no use.
Do what i said and just get a feed off somewhere after the turbo. Some alloy tubing with a hole drilled into it and then tapped.
If you drill the turbo you will loose the warranty and also you could knock it off balance
Sorry i thought it was the xspower one you had. I know which style you mean now
cheers for help pal, ill drill n tap a hole just after the turbo then,
keep us updated dude!
sounds like a right headache!
it as been lol, but all will be worth it when i hear her purrrr lol
I had the same fun when sorting mine
1. XS power was still building the parts i needed
2. no one knew how the bloody thing went together
3. we had to do a custom on the oil feed
Cool...
turbo and GAZ you both gotta get to a LSOM or two next year!
WOOO!
