So I've been riding my car with open wastegate. It's killing me, my engine looks dirty as hell and I'm pretty tired of it. Just got a manifold and new wastegate with the v-band design, so I am hoping I can turn the wastegate due to space issues. Also looking for maybe a few links that have different dump tube w/ v-band.

Car: 88 crx si'
Engine: LS/Vtec
Manifold: Ram type with straight pipe for the wastegate (its pointing straight to the front of the car, no bend)
Wastegate: TiAl v44 (44mm)

Just trying to get some ideas for a clean install.

Thanks

 

the only ones i have

 

umm.... holy **** that is badass!
What size tubing is that, and do u have any pics of it all buttoned up?

 

Thanks man.
The dump tube is 60mm. I have a few pics nothing recent with everything thing on.

 

Bump

And sick looking setup I must say, definately gave me an idea.

Thanks

 

the top of the tube is 90* to the pass side straight back then down to this:

 

insane

 

Your oil pan...me likey, Mikey!

 

it was an old moroso that my friend stripped out, and that pan that was being put there was for NHRA rules circa 06. that pic is 3 years old. he hee.
that pan isnt much better than my "new" moroso steel pan. they are junk. leaks, and when i went to put a jack stand under it when i had the tranny out i think i cracked one of the welds.

 

Man, that blowz...

OP, post a pic of your engine bay.

 

Mine is somewhat like mikey's but it stops at the oil pan, I figured the air under the car would take care of the rest, and I was in a big hurry to get it done. It runs between the DP and the block, pretty simple.

 

Thats wierd my Steel Moroso doesnt leak at all and I dropped the pan twice with the same gasket and just tightened it back up. The whole long block also sat on the pan for months prior to installing it into my car and didnt crack anything.

 

they arent junk i hate spending money.

my top looks just like bens.
mine goes all the way down because i paid for the whole uj bend so we used it all.

 

mine just come down on each side of the manifold to the ground, dual wastegate.

 

 

H22... Homegrown divided collector manifold

Dual 44mm Tials. 4" DP. T04Z

 

 

Any closed DT setups?

 

no cause thats homo! who does that?!..i know! HOMO's!




just kidding. i just really love open wastegate

wwwshhhhhhhhhWAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH rofl. never gets old.

 

I think what he meant to say is it'll probably hurt your performance but I couldn't really say how much...

To the op I've heard it's best to run your dump under your oil pan so your motor doesn't breath in exhaust fumes. I've seen dynos with pipes running open vs underneath the pan and it does make a difference if done right

 

For my DD, I'd rather lose a few horses to keep it quiet!

 

Yea I don't think the loses are huge anyways and sometimes they can sound obnoxious if they are open but again it depends on the setup.

 

does anybody no were you can find the plates that you would stick the exhaust thru so you dont burn your bumper ?

 

yeah at the band saw where the rack of raw sheet metal is.

 

Bump for more pics. I'm getting my dump tube rewelded here in the next few weeks.
