James
this winter all the works been done in my single garage at home, but in previous years ive used the workshop at work at nights and weekends.

Pukka
yeah it would be good to catch up at some point mate. :)
this season is a late start for me, and will mostly be at sprint or hillclimb circuits rather than race circuits as im getting married in august and am struggling with time and cash, but next year will be a full-on campaign again:D
will post up which meets im doing when the cars finished and entries are confirmed.

Looks all good but I bet in hindsight you think it was a bad idea using an external wastegate. Looks like it was a bit of a pain in the rearend to sort especially with the screamer piping.

I like the retro cutting of the IC.

yep total pain in the arse!! i dont want it exhausting under the car or in the engine bay so its turned out to be a pain. i just hope it does spike less and control better than a normal actuator. if it doesnt itll come off as its extra weight and complications. if it does work, thn i may look at rejoining it back to the main exhaust if its too loud or unreliable

Is it adjustable?

CNHSS1 18-04-2007 10:50

as far as i know, but have a boost solenoid valve connected to ecu. with the two tappings on the wastegate, im right in thinking that the one holds the valve shut whilst the other goes to the boost solenoid?

Can't remember to be honest. Sometimes you only used one of the tube's and it depends on the type of controller.

s13eater 18-04-2007 13:21

with the profec b, you use 2 parrallel openings on the solenoid with external wastegate, but with an actuator, you use opening on front and one of the sides.

CNHSS1 18-04-2007 15:30

not ready to pipe it up yet but will ask you guys advice when id do:D cheers
