if you got the drag 3 on a 98+ gsr with a tial WG, for sure a boost controller cant be used. please prove me wrong. i attached the top nipple on the WG today to test for clearance cuz im gonna get a mbc soon, and man, my hood wont close. any suggestions?

 

use a 45 degre ben pipe and move the wg

 

ya got those for sale? just wanna make sure the top wont be taller than it is now cuz it barely clears the hood.

 

You can buy two flanges an 90 degree from JC and get it welded. Not that hard. Or you can cut a hole in your hood, lol.

 

the top nipple, the one supplied with the gate? If so, no wonder....

 

yup

 

you can get a brass fitting thats shorter in height, works like a charm. I've done this before.

 

On my manual boost controller I just use the side port.

 

I haven't had any problems with clearance on mine.

 

thats weird how yours fit. mine doesnt at all!

 

i have same problem on my b16 crx with drag3. i drill and tap a fitting on the side of the wastegate and put a flush screw on top to cap it. works great.

 

well I dont even use the top nipple on my racegate, I use the side like I did with my old hks, like the directions for most, I am not sure if all, manual boost controllers recomend, only ellectronic boost controllers, like avcr, need top port on wastegate.If I am wrong I am sure all of you will slam me, but on manual boost controllers, I never use the top port, Jason

 

noticed that your vacuum lines for your wastegate are routed between the radiator and front bumper. where does it lead to? i'm asking this because i thought all vaccum lines were supposed to tee into the line before the fpr but this seems like its too much to be tapping everything on this this single source. thanx

 

On frank's car (dragngsr) The turbo port goes to the side port on the wastegate, a T is inline to go out to the in on the boost solenoid (the black box). And the top port is connected to the out on the black box. He's running the new blitz boost controller with id meter. Paul
