Slant 6 Turbo 68Dart Project
Serj what's up with your car? And any trunk luggage racks yet? We need updates the highlight of my day is hearing what's up with your cars
And what will I have to do with the Wastegate on the turbo can I run it and I've ran the variable vane turbos on older diesels would they work on gas and you can have dial a exhaust housing? Quicker spool and less heat in diesel applications and going from diesel to gas has been a huge learning curve but a compound setup on a slant would be cool
I understand what the Wastegate does I just don't get it they seem totally different from internal to external
I can always make trunk luggage racks, the problem is mostly in me figuring out how to mount it. I slowed down rack production because people were making me mad - ordering stuff, paying the downpayment, and then never actually buying the rack when it was done. I know people have problems but I'd literally get "that's beautiful, I want it now, but I have to pay my rent, etc... etc..." which is fine, totally understand - till I get the same excuse all the damn time over and over. I have 3 racks sitting here still that people payed for part of then just dissappear or never pay.
For the wastegate, they all work the same weather it's internal or external. External gives you the ability to adjust or hold more pressure. Usually an internal is just set, but there are exceptions. The Kinugawa internal actuator is 100% adjustable. But a regular actuator will usually be set, say 7psi, 8, 12, etc... and you'd have to use a junky manual pressure regulator, which give a nice boost leak in exchange for allowing the spring to open later.
Basically the turbine pressure controls the wastegate. It pushes it open as the boost builds to gradually bleed exhaust heat/pressure off past the turbo instead of through it.
The blow off valve is a safety device. It allows the pressure in the intake tract to relieve itself to atmosphere when you let go of the gas and the throttle blades close. The pressure otherwise goes back through the turbine housing and slows the impeller down, or temporarily causes it to spin backwards and causes a longer spool time or compressor surge in some cases.
