StarletMad Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 After paying out loads of money lately for other bits n pieces i really want to go to external w/g...Im looking at making my existing TD04 mani into externally gated manifold. Anyone done this before? Or can give me advice on how to go about it.Cheers Jono Quote Link to post Share on other sites

turbo Grant Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 No reason why it can't be done. Just need a flange, pipe a hole in the manifold and a nice strong weld. Was going to do it to shortys old kit but went for a wepr ram manifold. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletMad Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 Simple as i thought also lolRather not spend another £400-500 on a new mani + De-cat when i can do it for £20 lolIf the makers didnt build the manis so the turbos sat at an angle so your pretty much forced to buy a de-cat aswell then id just buy a mani... But not gonna fall for that lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nazzurro19 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 i thought i read somewhere that the wastegate has to be at a certain angle for the gases to flow and also not too close to get hot and damage the diaphragm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletMad Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 How about i get one of my mates to show me and il measure his up and could copy it maybe? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbo Grant Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Every manifold kit I've seen are all in differnt places. The pipe coming off my new wepr ram style is only about 25/30mm long. The zisco ram on curls round from the front. Just look at the manifold and put the waste gate where you want it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
