Ok so im building up by 14b turbo to put on my D series motor, and want to make it externally gated because of the stock boost that the 14b is set at. What would be the BEST way to go about doing this? Theres not a way to ajust the 14b wastegate, like different springs?

 

have u tried a boost controller??

 

I tought a boost controller can only increase boost it cant bring boost down below what the wastegate is already set at.

 

ooo i didn't know u were tring to make it come down. wat is it set at stock??? u should be ok if its like 10-12

 

Remove the wastegate actuator/arm. Weld the flapper door shut. Use an external wastegate

Stock is 11 psi.

nope. stock is 8 psi. the extra 3 psi is controlled thru the dsm ecu

I would get 9psi on me dsm when it had a line going straight from the boost reference to the actuator.

You can make a o2 housing that mounts that external wastegate off the internatl wastegate port.

Something like this:

 

I could swear I just answered this on HMT or something...

Get a different actuator, as you can really make any OEM bulb-style work. There are a couple old cars that had 5-7psi WG's, and I'm sure there are a few that are just waiting to be sold/given away because the owner went with an external.

If you want to go lower, I can't see why. You can always modulate the throttle to go a bit below max boost, as well as almost any Honda block can take 8psi from a 14b in stock form. Otherwise if you want to go higher, a $10 manual boost controller will work wonders...

 

WOW!! Thanks guys on the info this gives me many directions that I can go with this, thats just another thing of my mind for my build, thanks!
