Thread: Wastegates...

It's not actually mine

But yeah, it's pretty damn sexy. Can't wait to see what mine will look like. I didn't ask for the ceramic coating for the manifold, but it's stainless steel so I'm sure it'll still look good.

yeah im sure it will itsa nice piece

Tek, i am dissapointed.

Why?

Oh, the wastegate priority is huge. That protech one up there is turbine priority. Had they angled the WG pipe down and curved over to the WG it would have been WG priority and worked much better.

Cody always goes with WG priority if at all possible, which sometimes makes the manifold tougher to build for clearance and space and ease of install. gotta sacrifice something I guess.

The picture of course was a picture posted on Protech's website. I do not know if this is the manifold that is actually what they build, or if it is simply a build example. Being that my manifold is going to have the w/g recirculated, I imagine the placement will be different. I don't know for sure.

I'm having a hard time finding a top mount EL for the SR20 that has the WG recirculated.

How huge is huge, Brent? I'd agree with you if Tekkie or anyone else for that matter were to go all out and build a full out drag car.

WG priority for a simple little build like this is not what it is all cracked up to be.

On the other hand, like Bruce over at Protech has always said... he builds the manifolds to customer specifications. If the customer wants WG or turbine priority, he can do it.

This is by NO means, an all out drag car. This is the daily boost bear, with a side of ooomph, followed by a PSSSHHHHTTTT!!!!!

I will take her to the drag strip on the occasion, but she will be a daily driven street car. To me, I'm sure WG or Turbine priority isn't going to be that big of a deal. Aside from that, I went with a larger gate, so I'm sure if there were any differences on this build, they would have evened out with a larger gate.

Dont mind the couch hes had to much Kentucky Fried Chicken and now his head is spinning. Dont worry Tekkie you will be fine, wastegate priority is not that big of a deal.

KFC FTW! Wish I had me some KFC! Thanks for the re-assurance Sneaks.

Now I just realized that I didn't request ceramic coating on the mani, mid and downpipes. Should have Bruce quote me on the coatings, so they look super sexy like the sample pic above.
