Apparently HKS no longer makes their Standard wastegate, and I am loathe to spend $6-700 on their racing gate. What wastegates are you guys using on this manifold? Do any of the tials/turbonetics/etc fit on this flange? I would rather not get it cut and welded if I can avoid it.

Thanks in advance

 

i know the older greddy one works. i have an older hks 40mm on mine

 

I use the Turbonetics New Gen. wategate with a Turbonetics to HKS adapter on my HKS manifold.

 

avoid the HKS 40mm, it has boost creep problems anyway. mine couldn't keep boost at the 10psi spring when it was colder than about 45 F outside

 

I use a Turbosmart 48mm

 

a lot of the used JDM setups have an adaptor tube from the hks (or greddy) manifold to whatever wastegate.

 

turbonetics Newgen wid v-band to connect that wastegate FTW!

 

HKS 50mm here. I had the "standard" at first, but it would creep.

 

thats weird, my hks 40 has not crept on me yet. i also haven't driven it when it was really cold out yet, the coldest it has been is in the 50's. when it was warm out it held boost consistently.

 

^ it may depend on your spring pressure. You can also detect small amounts of boost creep if you datalog a lot of pulls under different ambient conditions. You will see a little creep in the boost curve at the end.

 

if wastegate is big enough and manifold built correctly, you should get 0 creep.
i have done so with all the turbo kits i sell and make.

 

anyone know if this HKS --> Tial adapter flange from ATP will work?



"Adapter Flange, Allows [Tial] 46mm wastegate to be used with HKS Flanged Manifolds, Adapter bolts onto the 46mm wastegate using 4 countersunk allen bolts (8mm x 1.25 pitch) and has 4 tapped holes on adapter to bolt to HKS flanged manifold using studs and nuts (8mm x 1.25 thread). HKS manifold must have bolt pattern of 2-3/16" bolt-center to bolt-center spacing for side to side adjacent hole measurement and 3" bolt-center to bolt-center spacing for diagonal holes."

 

Any more input. I have horrible creep..

 

I've used a Tial 44 on a couple and a Tial 38 on another. Easy enough to make adapters out of steel. Pic below of the 38 adapter. I have an FD HKS manifold, Tial 44, and adapter FS if anyone is interested.

 

anyone post pics of the HKS 50mm bolted to the cast mani? Should be the same bolt configeration right?

 

what are you asking?

 

PM u thanks

 

Mine is the ebay copy. I ported and blueprinted it. Suprisingly it has worked well for 50K miles.

that looks like a 38mm though... my Tial 44 has a vband inlet

 

It looks like a 38 because it is a 38. Post says it's a 38.

 

I misread it, my fault.
