My T2 has another Honda part!
Its actually the 2nd Honda part on my T2(rag now(if closeminded))! Remember my Teg taillights? Het me if you must but, I used the exhaust valve from an H22 as my new wastegtae door. Took the angle grinder to it and reshaped it a bit, cut the stem off it, cut the old WG "door" off, ported the death outta the stock WG, welded it in and said good by to WG induced overboosting(I hope)! I havent tuned it yet, but I am hpoing that at around 11 lbs of boost I can , now, hit the N20 button , in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gear and see little waivering in boost PSI. The stock WG I can bairly fit my pinky in it, now I can wiggle my thumb around in it!! I told you guys Honda made some parts of worth!!!

I couldnt find any way to retain that "pivot" you speak of. I just made sure that with the actuator arm pulling on it closed it would fit flush. I havent noticed any difference in spool time. Realistically a tiny exhaust passage around the door shouldnt have any huge affect(IMO)anyway.
Dre how much custom work have you done to your rex? Still got those dated *** tails on there huh? Forum members who just make useless and negative posts should be banned. Infact have you ever added anything worthwhile here? I cant remember any good posts of yours and Ive been a member for the past 5 years.

I guess it doesn't look really horrible (did a good job on the conversion), and it almost looks like it fits correctly with the car (I had a green '96 GS-R), but.. something about Integra taillights on an RX-7 just doesn't sound right when you think about it.

This thread was intended to be about wastegates, funny people are more concerned about my taillights than a good cost effective motor mod, that solves a notorious T2 problem.
