The waste gate is there to stop the turbo from OVER boosting.
If a turbo didnt have a waste gate, you'd put your foot down, and as the revs rise the turbo would just keep making more and more boost until your engine blew up.
Will the waste gate prevent the loss in mpg?? My understanding is if the turbo is used continuously rather than when needed there will be a decrease im mpg.
@bendover893~ yes of course u need more fuel when in boost. U have to maintain the right air:fuel ratio. If theres more air being pushed into the cylinders.... well then u need more fuel.
hi , i need more help with my civic turbo :) i have d15b7 turbo civic with 0.8 bar boost. so i dont know what kkind of Westgate to use and which turbo charger would be best for me :) now im using garrett t3 turbo ... but it starts work only after 3.3rpm
lmfao yeah i feel like the waist gates are over looked just cuz they dont produce any power just regulate it. but i think turbo chargers are not even close as up to date as they should be to increase there output and reduce the heat created more threw the exhaust turbine i have a really cool idea to increase power output and decrease heat eminence. ..... i just turned 18 and im looking for a shop to work at that has a descent set up i live in NY so if u could use an extra brain send me an email.
wastegates are the exhaust side, bovs are the intake side
wastegates regulate/maintains the pressure made by the turbo
bovs are to relieve made pressure in between compressor and throttle to prevent compressor surge but many high hp turbo cars dont have a bov which you can hear a fluttering sound.
@NASTYTHEBOY No you don't plug the hole on the top. If you just want to use the spring to control boost that hole remains open so the spring housing can breathe properly.
A BOV is not even metioned in this video at all. A turbocharged engine has A "BOV" and a "WASTEGATE". he talked about the WASTEGATE in this video. and he did an awseme job at that.
sorry, I wasn't familiar enough with external ones. but they look just like a bigger version of BOV ( diff purpose of course) so I was confused. one control air, one control exhaust.
if you are refering that a BOV and a WASTEGATE is the same thing. than you are wrong big time. they work by the same principal with vaccum... and they both are valves, but built for 2 different things. a wastegate for the exhaust (this video), the BOV for the intake manifold between intercooler and throttlebody to release the extra pressure when u take foot off the throttle.
okay so what exactly does an electronic boost controller do? and how can you learn how to use one.. i was thinking of gettin one since i have an extra 800 dollars but i want to learn about them first.
the boost controller controlls the amount of boost coming from the turbo. you controll the boost by the nobs on the controller. it will show like 5 psi or 10 psior simply high or low . you only need a boost controller if you are running high psi.
m really sorry, but these things freak me out sooo much! dnt read this(cuz it really wrks). u will gt kissd on the nearest frieday by the love of ur life. 2mara wll b the bst day of ur life hwever if you dnt post ths comment 2 at least 3 vids u will die withn 2 days nw uv startd readn this dnt stp this is so scary snd ths ovr 2 5 vids in 143 mins when ur done press f6 nd ur crush's name wll appear on the screen n big letters ths is so scary cuz it actully wrks ths really wrks
theres no turbo whistle.. it shouldnt whistle when you're speeding up.. the blow off valve releases pressure from the turbo when you let off the throttle which creates the whistle.
the noise comes from the the turbo it self. when the turbine spines fast and long enought it makes the whistle. kind of like when you try to make your mouth whistle you have to blow hard enough to make the noise
SensationBW you should never post anything about turbos again, u dont know shit and no one should post about turbo set ups if u cant spell INJECTION.....im sorry but i would never listen to you and no one else should either
I run a GT3076r .82 with the Garrett internal gate as shown here.
I went with a bell mouth dump as it evens out the back pressure between the turbine wheel and wastegate of which prevents boost creep as rpm increases.
As mentioned in this vid mine drops boost up top as the flapper is internal flap is blowing open.
Cams picked up close to 30rwkw on the same boost now at 302rwkw @ 17psi.
On with an 18psi actuator that should allow me to run 20-21psi up top.
this vid tought me alot but i have one question if you have more back pressure with the exhaust gases would that go up to the manifold with more pressure and make the turbo fan spin faster and suck in more air to the engin???
i have a boost controller for the waste gate can some one tell what way do i fit this? one end of the controller has a fine pin hole and the other end it has about 2mm hole just not sure if it would make any difference what way it goes
I have a turbo in my car so if I add an external wastegate I can increase power? Will the engine management system adjust to the new boost or do you have to change that also?
Simply adding an external wastegate will not increase power. It's only when you increase power output via higher boost pressure/larger turbo/etc. that you'll need to incorporate an external wastegate to effectively manage the boost pressure.
yes u can u have to weld the internal gate closed then must either dril and weld a flange to your stock manifold, that is where u would be mounting the new wastegate, or what i did is just by a new manifold that is flanged for a external gate.
ok, this might be the dumbest question ever, so i apologize guys, but can a stock sti turbo(VF39) have its internal wastegate switched out to run an external one? how can we run an internal waste gate on our stock turbo, or can it not be done? Thanks guys!!
you can have it set up for external. you will remove the wastegate from the turbo and install a bracket that holds the internal flap closed, then just buy a aftermarket up pipe that has a EWG flange on it then get a aftermarket boost solenoid or controler not a MBC and get tuned.
Why are external waste gates illegal?
