more specifically.. I am looking for a cheap/used (not sure if I can make it work) external waste gate that I can fit to my trucks discharge pipe, and try to use a boost controller on to play with my boost levels from my supercharger.

I wanna pulley it for kill.. but then use the controller to stage when, and how much boost hits the engine and create a flat boost curve, no rpm related drops from shifts if I have it set below the impeller max RPM.

mostly a fun experiment to play with. I really like the TurboSmart E-boost controller as well, but that might have to wait. LOL I am not sure if I can make this work the way I want it to. But I figured that a waste gate would have a smoother operation than a BOV/POV for such a task.

anyone, anyone?? hehe

I am trying to get my truck together for the FSCS, but am still plagued with trans prollems.. kinda.. new/race trans went back to it's builder in Cali, who is building a new one, shipping it over, flying over, and making it work.. his expense.. now THATS customer service!! if only it was 5 months ago! LOL
 
I have an HKS external, not sure on the HP rating though. I was on the SBC single turbo I bought.
 
how much you want fo' it?? I am using it to vent discharge pressure from my supercharger to atmosphere so I am not sure how to figure out how much I need any way for volume passed! LOL

Just something fun for me to play with, and an excuse to learn to weld aluminum.
 
Didn't know how much they were, so I looked it up. It's more than my racegate!! Regular price brand new is 455.00 and is rated for 500 HP and up.

Make me an offer.

Thanks, Paul
 
I dohn know what a fair price for a used gate is! LOL I need to stall a little bit 'till the 16th payday.. can I start the bidding at $100?? I am assuming it is in good shape.. not used much if you put a big race gate on.

are their any flanges with it?? Or do I need to make up a pair of flanges as well?
 
There are no flanges, it's on the log manifolds I have. I'll take 100 for it.

Thanks, Paul
 
cool.. thanks.. will holler when I get my next pay check on the 16th. I am trying to finish up my Caddy powered tow vehicle.. version II, before I put to much more into the R/T.. but I wanna play with this linear boost idea I have for the big Paxton in my truck.

Thanks!

Hey Paul,

Looks like Chad B is sneakin' his toy out to the track tommorow so I am kinda being drug along with it for tuning purposes.. you going out?? Will bring some cash if you are. I think I figgered out how to test it for my purposes without actually mounting it on the truck.

Hey Ryan, Sorry, I won't be out again till the race, I don't want to break it:D I'll bring it to the track if I remember.

Thanks, Paul
 
cool beans.. will try to remember to have cash with me at the race then! hehe.. If I have any sliver of hope.. I might beable to drive my tow vehicle out there to let my Caddy say hi to everyone! hehe.. I am down to the electrical now. All the mechanical stuff is done, and started in on wiring at the back end of the under carriage, got the Gear Vendors connected, just need to run a couple cables for the trans and speedo sending unit. Then it's all good and onto the engine bay!:D
