Nice to see an update for the SR20, I'm sure you can just fabricate those peices but if you can them it would be better. keep working hard at it, can wait to see this build running
Weld the internal gate closed so the gasses coming out of the head don't bypass the turbo exhaust wheel. If it is welded shut, the gas has only one direction to travel, and that is through the housing around the exhaust wheel. The flap/gate opens when a certain boost pressure is achieved, thereby letting exhaust gasses bypass the exhaust wheel limiting the overall psi being generated by the turbo. If you don't have an external wastegate already I would recommend sticking with the internal unit. It is way easier to use because you wont have to modify the stock exhaust manifold. Plus they hold enough psi that that turbo is capable of producing so really there is no need due to your power goals. Later on down the line an EWG would be a great upgrade, but your turbo would be more of a limiting factor along with the cast exhaust manifold. Hope this helped!
Samuel Ross thanks for the info! I love learning more about how the internals work. the reason I'm doing an ewg is the turbo I bought off a friend was already welded and modified once and has no factory waste gate so he gave me a ewg with it.
Highly recommend you change and get brand new exhaust studs/washer/nuts .. I scimpped out on them and ended up changing them due to 3 of them breaking . Also it's better to use the locking plates on the turbo nuts because the vibrations will back them out.
wrench-a-holics I plan to when I upgrade everything in the near future. top mount, big boost, etc. for now these will do. I also just ordered locking tabs this morning. they are honda way ;)
Definitly use washers.. i just had to deal with my turbo coming completely loose and i even used lock washers. I just put in hard washers now hopefully it wont come loose again.

Samuel Ross Is that the "low & loud ae86" in your profile picture? The one that Quentyn has now

you've clock it correctly breh, good vid!
Little by little progress is getting there. A bit late on this video but still stuck around to watch it
thanks for watching man! there is no time limit lol whenever your bored and want something to watch is why they are here
heat the cast alot b4 u weld it will crack ... probably still will but less chance if u pre heat it
if you have an external waste gate you should weld it shut not open !
Swamp Customs okay will do! I know I had to do one or the other
Lol. I hear the "damn it, boy" in the tone of this comment.
Go For Broke Garage ;) just didn't want to see you grt it back togeather and then you won't have boost
left a cowchop vid for this
Poo Sammich I definitely had too look up chow chop, but thanks man that means a lot!
Go For Broke Garage they are strange human beings lol
Love ur videos man
Can't wait to see you drive it
Ethan Moody I can't wait to drive it
I can't wait to see this thing running. Do you still plan on doing something with the red 240?
Alden G yes as soon as this engine is in and running
Did you ever make a video on installing the fender flares you had?
Einer Fonseca I'm not running those flares anymore. I still have them and may use them on another project
👍
you getting there :)
y don't u just flip the manifold and turn the turbo around?
That Neon Channel what do you mean?
could have googled what nuts you needed
Captain Swaggadick I've done that before and ended up with a bunch of wrong nuts
