EWG plumbing quick question
There is a threaded hole on my compressor for a wastegate actuator that goes all the way through and is open to the inside of my compressor housing. Would it be a good place to place a fitting and feed my external wastegate its positive pressure or would there be too much turbulence and not a good boost reading?
Should I go a few inches from the compressor outlet up the charge piping? Thanks |
|
/\ bingo. if using an mbc or no bcs
if using ebc, it probably doesn't matter much since you can just ramp up the top end |
|
Sorry, the only Harold I know wouldn't fit in a Miata. In fact he lifted mine and moved it ~6 feet into a parking space for a company video :)

Nice to see more Indiana people! I have my boost source there, but if I ever get a handle on my boost creep problems I will move it... as is it actually helps combat my boost creep issues.

I'm going to hook it up right after the intercooler. I think it will be ok since I have a small water to air cooler and the routing is very straight forward. I think if I had more piping having the source that far may lag a little, maybe that is why corky doesn't recommend it.

While Joe's article is great, Corky Bell in his book: Maximum Boost disagrees with hooking up the boost signal in the intake manifold.
He in fact suggested the best location is at the compressor wheel (Point A in the above link). That book is extremely outdated. |

:laugh: lol
his info is about 20-30 years old btw, before we even had electronic boost control. |
Address your boost signal issues with Corky Bell himself. OP here is a link to Mr. Bell's book. Maximum Boost, to be exact page 148 on the book.

http://www.mediafire.com/view/x9cu26...Corky+Bell.pdf We don't care. The point is: It's wrong, and just because you're quoting something from a book Corky wrote using 20-30 year old info, doesn't mean that it's right. Make sense? Referencing from compressor housing is NOT ideal, no matter how many times you point out that Corky says it is. Pretty simple concept, and one illustrated QUITE well in the thread that was previously posted within this thread. |
I want to hear Corky's response to how they screwed up Keiths (Twodoor) Begi S6 setup so collossally and how their externally gated top of the line $$$ setup creeps like a crappy unported chinacharger. I also want to hear corky's explanation of using crappy steel intercooler piping all the way into 2013, and switching to alum on their "new" system incorporating designs used by companies on miata's that went under about 15 years ago.
brb reading maximum boost for the answers to how maximum boost himself failed |
I saw Keith's setup in person. He's got a nice tune on it, but with him illustrating everything that went wrong alone the way and how some of that stuff fit, i would have just put it all back in the box along with a steaming coiler, sent it back, and disputed the charge on my credit card.
Big props to Keith for having the skills/patience necessary to get that mess up and running as fast as he did. |
You guys talk shit about a person who is a supporting vendor in this site and at the same time buy parts from this same vendor. WTF???I don't understand. .., but I would like to see him address his opinion on this topic. I read page 148 on his book and does have a valid point of view.

No, it doesn't have a valid point of view. This was again, QUITE clearly explained by the linked thread. Are you dense? As for the parts/kits comment... you have COMPLETELY missed the point, and/or you haven't bothered to look at all at what we're talking about. |

That's your personal opinion, the fact is many people hook the boost signal directly to the compressor wheel and call it a day.
I know this is what we're discussing because you said this:

In this particular topic the OP has a turbo external waste gate which is controlled by the spring inside the waste gate. To get quick spool all he needs to do is hook a manual boost controller inline and forget about it. There are tons of pictures online as to how to do this. |

Have you personally ordered any non-off the shelf parts from them?

Stop posting. |
Maximum Boost, published 1997.
Joe Perez thread, published 2010. Apparently we can never learn anything new, and sticking with the old information is always correct. BTW in the paragraphs in Maximum Boost you're referencing Corky is also talking about FPRs and blow-through carbs. That should probably tell you something... |

That they're SUPER AWESOME and we're all RETARDED FOR NOT USING THEM?!?! And that BeGi sells blow through carb kits because they're so much fuckwin? And that said kits fit perfectly the first time right out of the box? |

BTW in the paragraphs in Maximum Boost you're referencing Corky is also talking about FPRs and blow-through carbs. That should probably tell you something... "The intake plenum signal source will slightly improve boost response, since the turbo is free to make all the boost it can until the pressure reaches the signal source and is transmitted to the waste gate. The fact that the turbo is free to make a brief spike of boost will cause the intercooler to be hit by a greater slug of temperature. Greater temperature is always to be considered a negative. For a blow-through carburetor system, where the wastegate and fuel pressure regulator must see the same signal simultaneously, the plenum signal source is best. Sourcing the signal from the intake manifold should be considered only when turbo response is of the highest importance and the short blast of extra heat can be tolerated or ignored. All things considered, heat should be the controlling factor. Unless unusual circumstances dictate, hook the waste gate signal to the compressor outlet and call it a day." |

Heat control is a problem when you have a postage stamp sized intercooler (common in the 80's, my 1984 conquest is non-intercooled from the factory)... since then people started putting real intercoolers on cars... and fuel injection.

No reason to have vac applied on a wastegate that responds to positive pressure For a blow-through carburetor system, where the wastegate and fuel pressure regulator must see the same signal simultaneously, the plenum signal source is best. Sourcing the signal from the intake manifold should be considered only when turbo response is of the highest importance and the short blast of extra heat can be tolerated or ignored. -Old information, as pointed out by everybody / I'd only test this if I had a low boosted setup, no craps given, maybe no intercooler 5psi or less All things considered, heat should be the controlling factor. Unless unusual circumstances dictate, hook the waste gate signal to the compressor outlet and call it a day." -AKA In the end, lowest spool response, lowest heat output, but leads you down a path of surging psi/unstable boost Just let it go Bro. :giggle: |

PUTCHER BAWLS IN MR BUCKET!!!
BE CAREFUL YOUR BAWLS MIGHT POP OUT OF HIS MOUF! |
Wow... I am going to use a manual boost control. The feed will be after the intercooler. Done.
I have talked to Corky a few times over the phone back in the day and he really seems to be a nice knowledgeable guy and Begi does make some good parts but I don't agree with what he mentioned in his book, in fact I have the book myself. He is not God. Now, can we stop arguing? The question has been answered. |
