Hey guys, I'm getting ready to order a wastegate for my SR stage 2 with a XS cast manifold. What I want is feed back on bolth units. I've heard a horror story about the HKS sticking shut until 20+psi....but nothing as far as the Tial 46mm. I just don't want to buy a peice of garbage and have to go out and buy anouther one. So any help would be helpfull. Later, CJ

 

I can't speak about the HKS, but there are LOTS of people using Tial WG's!! They are very nicely machined, great quality, and in my experience very reliable.

I'm using the 46mm WG with my SR Stage I kit

 

Any other comments? I'm probably going to be ordering Monday....so speed is kinda key. CJ

 

from what i've heard, tial wastegate > hks wastegate

 

CJ,

I had an issue or two with my HKS unit while on the dyno. Go for the Tial.

Well, now for the next question. Who has the best price on a 46mm Tial? I would like to buy from Jason, but it appears he does'nt sell them. Any other ideas? CJ

 

how can you put a tial wastegate on a manifold for an HKS flange?

 

I was under the impression that they where the same bolt pattern. Am I wrong? This is something I realy need to know.... CJ

 

different wastegates do have different flanges, research the tial and see what kinda flange it uses....

 

I'm using the 46mm Tial. Works perfect and I'm using it on a HKS flanged divided manifold, with an adaptor.

 

ok, then how much is the adaptor

 

CJ, I would recommend the HKS Racing WG(50mm) -> it works!

 

i 2nd that, HKS Racing W.G

 

Yea the Tial WG will not bolt onto the XS manifold. Im running the HKS standard 40mm WG with no boost prolbems at all.

 

Same here! No problems

 

I'd like to know too. Where are all you guys getting the best deal from?

 

The Tial 40mm WG I bought came w/ the flange. Most should unless you're buying used. Weld the included flange on your exh. mani and you'll be good to go.

 

dont get the hks if you use bi state's manifold. the wg is humungo and hangs down 3 inches below the subframe.

 

I did'nt go with a BI-state kit. I kinda got tired of waiting for pictures of this or that, no one responding to threads etc. I realy wanted to give Eric a chance, but got tired of waiting. Then a thread pops up saying how Eric had'nt shipped this part...its been X amount of weeks and no parts...and that was the final straw. Picked one up locally. CJ

 

This is the cheapest place I've found.

I know its not for a Rx-7....but a wastegate is a wastegate.

Whats the difference between a non SS and a regular racing wastegate? Is it just that one is made out of SS and the other out of mild? Also, from pictures it looks like the bolt pattern is different....

I wonder if Jason would do price matching? CJ

 

CJ, the difference between the SS Racing WG and the Racing WG is the base flange is "Square" vs "Rectangular", plus the material that their made of "SS" vs "steel". They will not be interchangeable. The WG you need is the regular 'ol Racing WG (50mm).

 

ok....ok.....now that I've beat a dead horse enough, I'll just order the dang thing tomorow. Thanks everyone for putting up with a moron. (Me.) CJ
