right now i've got a b18b on hasport mounts in my 90 crx. working on installing a drag turbo kit in the car and the tial wastegate doesn't clear the hood. before anybody suggests to get another hood, it doesn't clear the fat, front part of the hood, so i don't think a different hood will even matter. This is on a drag manifold, stock hood...............any suggestions? I've looked at this thing several different ways and i can't come up with any ideas. I appreciate all the help.

oh, and i've already thought about just settling for the deltagate, because it's smaller, but i'm really trying to avoid that, because i want to use this tial......

 

DRAG 90 degree elbow: $35.00

Sits the wastegate on its side so it clears the hood.

 

what is hitting exactly? i had this problem on my car also and i just changed out the top fitting for an elbowed one and things are ok now, becareful not to go full throttle or shift hard cause you wil end up with a nipple on your hood, lol...

 

actually, i had a 90 degree elbow from drag and i tried just now, and it still doesn't seem to clear, i'll take some pics and post them here in a bit.......

 

TURBOSMART WATEGATE IS YOUR SOLUTION

 

CUT a hole in the hood .. by a revhard elbow. It was doing the same thing on my DA and i ordered a rev hard elbow. i have one ill sell you.. let me know

 

here are the pics of my clearance problem:

What about a different manifold? I'm not really feeling this drag one anyways.......thanks again for all your suggestions....

 

Flip the wastegate so it lays over the manifold. That's the best way to have it fit. As for going with a new manifold, you'll also need a new downpipe if you go that route. Let me know if you need a deal on the combo.

 

try the 90degree elbow from importparts.com. this is the only pic i have of mine.

Hopefully someone elce will come out with the same thing for a better price real soon </TD></TR></TABLE>

i think the 35 bucks is worth it.

Dude you're complaining about 35 measly bux? How much do you have invested in your turbo system? Sheesh...

 

damn, that just might work.......35 bucks is nothing compared to what i've spent so far.....lol

but will this work with my drag manifold?

 

mine in the pic above, is a drag manifold.

 

I got an SIR CF hood to make mine clear. But this is a much more exspensive option then others.

 

actually, i want that hood. i was just checking with ViS the other day and they said that they make it to fit the usdm crx.......but i wasn't sure if it would have been enough clearance still or not.........

 

i have a 90 crx si with a b18 as well; inline pro mani, revhard elbow, tial wastegate, and it still didnt clear. the only way around it was cutting the underside of the hood.

 

I know that a Turbosmart Ultragate will fit. Plus the Ultragate out performs the Tial.

35$ is still a little over priced for what it is.
Not dissing on Importparts @ all!! They are GreaT

If you tried to make one, it would cost a lot more than $35.00. Let me break it down for you. The flanges are $10-$20 each. The pipe another few bucks. That's not even taking labor into account. I think it's a fair price. We don't make money on these parts, we just offer them to help guys finish up their projects.

 

a guy came into the shop today and said that using the eblow he lost power dramatically........he said that it was like somebody stuck a cork in his exhaust??? any comments on this? i'm new to the turbo world......not really sure how placement of the wastegate would affect performance, but i can imagine that it might.........

Cut a hole in your hood and shoot the dump tube straight up. Flames for the dragstrip.
