The dumptube my mechanic fabricated for me. Not bad for an amatuer welder!



Just like eveything else in the Spark kit this had to be cut and modified to fit!

Yeah that 90 degree angle might cause some porblems with exhaust flow from the wastegate

What condensor do you mean? I donthave A/C any more. I do plan on extending the dump to the bottom soon. Its better than it was before(No dump at all). I actually blew the top of 2 rows of my radiator out and melted my hood latch.

Could cause spiking issues..

RedTegLS

So your saying by not letting exhaust out quick enough it might make it spike? Cause I am having some spiking issues I think.

Exactly. The flow of exahust gasses leaving the WG is impeded by the 90* bend just after the opening, slowing the flow considerably. Whether or not it's really the cause of your spiking I couldn't say, but I'd consider redoing it for peace of mind if nothing esle.

Yeah that bend in your WG dumptube will almost certainly cause some spiking.

I had a friend who had it setup just like you did. They then changed it to a 90 deg U-bend and no more spiking.

RedTegLS

AWESOME! I will try putting the dumpube I got from ben on. I was gonna sell it but if it makes me run right I will keep it. Oh here is a pic.

swlabhot

Betta put this new dump tube on quick! Your rad is trying to keep your system cool and you're blasting hot exhaust gases on it?!?!?!

RedTegLS

No I used to be blasting the exhaust on to it. Now I have a dumptube its just not mandrel bent. Did you look at the pics?

bigwig

i was at homedepot yesterday and they had some nice 1" bends in the electrical department. you should take a look. just get one of those 90's and then ask them to cut a piece of 1" for you. for like 12-20" and you are done...just gotta get your buddy to lay down 2 welds.

Just a suggestion

i've heard some bad things about those wastegates.... what do you think of yours so far?

RedTegLS

You mean the Spark wastegate? Honestly I bought a http://www.ssautochrome.com 35mm and the o-ring did not fit and my car would not boost. The o-ring sits flush and lets me boost so I like it. No problems.
