This may get loud and firey

 

Is that showing the wastgate dump tube coming down out to under the car, instead of being above the subframe and facing back towards the downpipe?

 

Yeah, it's an open dump pipe running down past the subframe. I will probably put a slight angle cut on it and then paint it.

 

that might hang down a little low too

Wow, that is going to be LOUD for a street driven car!

I haven't heard many rotaries with open wastegates before, what will it sound like? Get a video

 

They sound like a loud sport bike! Loud enough to make your ears ring...

 

get some audio too, so we can hear it . . . lol

 

ahah, thats tight. I have seen that before, but instead it cuts through the fender and is side exited, on a race car though

 

....side exhausting it. The way this wastegate is oriented would make it hard to do. When the car is finished, we'll post the sound and vision of the beast.

As an aside, a couple of nights ago, Freddie's car fired off some flames from the tailpipe with such hang-time of at least 6 seconds, I thought his bumper would burn off.

 

You will make people crash with the wastegate dumping like that ... I know

 

In Japan, they use to run it like that back in the LATE 80's (when the FC first came out, even on the stiock turbo) That's how I've always run mines, it supprises people and they think the car blew something because it only comes on when the wastegate opens but sounds MEAN!

 

ya, its pretty loud....mine doesnt have a tube on it yet, it is just coming straight out of the WG....hits the frame rail and smells like BBQ kinda...heh

i dont drive the car much right now and it is in storage so i havent welded a pipe onto the flange yet, but was planning to do something similar to yours just to get it away from the bodywork and engine bay

We're close to finishing, but still waiting on ordered parts and some fabrication work so things are at a standstill for the moment.

 

She looks very intimidated

 

But she'll still want to drive it
