Oh i see... thanks for the feedback guys :)
Any places recommended to make these turbo headers?
thanks

so meaning that if we install a banana manifold with stock turbine actually not require a wastegate?
how about if we install a wastegate...what will actually happen tothe engine?
if u install wastegate , the engine will blow laaaa hehehhehehe
, nothing will happen to the engine la , no diffrence u install wastegate or no wastegate
and someppl saying air fuel ratio will be affected cos of changing header ,
as i believe , we all run on MAF , unless some of u already on standalones
if we are using MAF sensors , if the turbo is spooling faster for low end or giving more top end or whtever , ur air flows thru the MAF , MAF calculates the air , in the mapping vs RPM n etc , gives out the fueling for the engine , so y must there be a retune for ? stock ecu should be ok , bt 9krpm , errr do u know ur stock turbo dies at 6.5krpm for td05's , if u r on a drag race , the guy who shifted at 6.5krpm would be advance of u if u waited till 9krpm :D
and as i know our stock 4g63 valve n springs are already floating at 9krpm thus giving u lesser power. a short route header + stiffer valve springs + high cams = power u need for high rev machine.
icic....but few of my friend also run their stock turbo with extenal wastegate n banana manifold.....mayb they like the sound of w/g.
they usually fix external wastegate to play high boost
high boost with actuator is nt so safe
thats the reason ? :)
i do agree in a way hehe :)stock ecu provide safety margin so you wont blow the engine - however, at huge the expense of the potential performance. MAF only efficient of calculating A/F ratio below certain boost pressure set by manufacturer - it's a hardware limitation. As such, you may run lean / rich when overboosting using stock ECU.
e.g if your MAF set only to support 1.5bar, boosting anything beyond 1.5bar will render the MAF sensor inaccurate and guessing on the air volume coming in. In typical situation, your car will run richer than it should, as the stock ecu will make assumption of highest volume of air scenario. Rich A/F at high RPM will rob power and waste petrol.
Solution to this is to run MAP sensors and tuneable ECU.
Tuning is very important if you change manifold since changing better flow manifold or even a wastegate will automatically effect stock boost setting in turbo cars.
feel free to correct me.
