Hi folks,

I did some searching and happened to find some pretty decent pictures of a single turbo Turbonetics kit. This will be a good representation for those who want to do their own fabbing based on this kit. Hope you guys enjoy!

 

um... ok

 

If you fab your own kit off of those kits you will probably have the same overboost issue since that's the old piping.

 

Thats why you change things lol. ex: pipe diameter, turbo, WASTEGATE!

 

We all know that tiny waste gate dosent help much lol. try to go a lil bigger and solve your over boost. bigger diameter down pipe wont hurt either.

 

I am cringing as I recall some of the more difficult bolts to get to.....

 

Apparentely the search button isn't your friend. The wastegate size had nothing to do with the boost creep. But by all means go for it. When you can't actually figure out how to create your own kit I guess you have to copy someone else.

 

Sounds like APS....

 

Yeah it wouldnt be "turbonetics" idea becuase if they were actually intelligent they would have opened up that wastegate and downpipe A LOT. So dont tell me about not creating my own turbo kit cause im sure all you have done is a strictly bolt on turbonetics kit since you work for them and all. I will copy it too the tee if I like and you can kiss my A$$ you turbonetics rice jocker. So logically tell me how a small wastegate has nothing to do with overboost? that just proves your intelligence right there. Hmm lets see bigger hole in the up pipe means less air is capable of seeing the turbine wheel hence less boost smart one haha.

enough said

 

If hes your guru Id be worried lol

 

the original overboost issue had to due with the location of the wastegate, not the size. The wastegate was mounted perpendicularly to the flow path. now, the new uppipe from TN has the wastegate directly in the flow path, and overboost is not an issue....same wastegate too

 

Well then thats a great design wouldn't you say. I will put money that if the wastegate was bigger with bigger piping it would not overboost. from what ive read its a tiny lil 36mm gate and it also looks tiny. So if you can just relocate the pipe with the same wastegate, guess what your turbo is too small. This is a very unequal put together kit and does not deserve the money it brings. I was just posting pics so people could do some slight mods to make the kit worthwhile.

 

Why is it always people that don't drives Z that come into "our house" and raise hell? I'm gonna join a SRT8 board or a WRX/STI board or maybe even a EVO board and **** on someone else's front door...

 

quit crying i drove a z last night and raced it against a mustang gt and beat the hell out of it. Anyways Im just trying to help. maybe if you had helpful info on the wrx or sti I would listen.

 

I guess I must have misunderstood the whole post. What was the helpful info I missed? I have a TN in my Z and have no problems other than keeping traction to the rear tires. In all fairness I have the newer relocated system. So I have learned relocation works for the "overboost problem" and perhaps a larger WG. I'm not sure what any of this has to do with your title.

 

to see if its a wastegate problem its fairly easy, remove the wastegate completly. drive around. the car should not make any boost. on the TN kit with the wastegate in that location it will creep. poor wastegate location. not small size.

 

Search a little more there champ. All Turbonetics had to do was move the gates location and the system stopped overboosting. Increasing wastegate size has nothing to do with it. You must be another Internet certified Mech Engineer. Go away super troll. And FYI your post is a complete waste of bandwith. There's much more detailed pics of the kit on a mock up motor then what you posted. They say imitation is the greatest form of flattery.

 

I'll put money it won't. Apparentely you can find a thread but clearly you aren't able to read it. If you actually read the thread you linked (left to right, top to bottom put words together its called a sentence) you'd see that not only did Jet go to a bigger gate he ALSO moved its location. Again go away troll.
