Broke on the Dyno, wastegate flange broke off 320whp... LAME

DJTTon · 04-23-2017, 08:50 AM

How much are you expecting?

KAT-PWR · 04-23-2017, 08:58 AM

Should be able to touch 5s

feito · 04-23-2017, 02:28 PM

damn. Guess Ive been lucky with my china exhaust mani? I haven't really gone through your entire thread, but is your wastegate valve VTA or recirculated? If VTA,you may want to consider adding a bracket on that WG to relieve some of the stress on that flange. I recently just recirculated my WG, mainly 'cause I hate the sound of a screamer pipe, but also to avoid this.

KAT-PWR · 04-23-2017, 05:07 PM

Yeah I already got it pulled off and it will be rewelded with a thicker pipe and bracing. My first gen cx the wastegate tube broke, this gen 2 one has broke now. My local friend had his cheap gen2 with same failure, the "beefier" version they sell also failed.

I knew the mani would crack eventually just unfortunate it waited the 2500 miles I've put on the car since January only to fail on the dyno

Bummer, I would look into just getting a quality manifold. The runners are probably the next to go.

Let's see your dyno curve! Curious to see how that intake manifold impacted performance..

KAT-PWR · 04-23-2017, 06:56 PM

Quality or not tubular crack. Gonna get it patched up and back on the road. All the turbo placements of quality manifolds are mediocre, pretty embarrassing...

Carnage and the fix, gotta get back to the Dyno ASAP

KAT-PWR · 05-14-2017, 07:10 PM

Full z32 rear drum conversion, nice to have a solid ebrake

Bushido · 05-14-2017, 08:25 PM

you actually have a functioning z32 e brake?

the car is looking great these days, will like to see it back on the dyno with the new wastegate pipe.

Would be great thing to see a KA reign supreme over LSX as the top s car power getter in Gainesville.

KAT-PWR · 05-17-2017, 03:41 PM

3D printed this through chassis cold air intake duct

KAT-PWR · 05-26-2017, 06:48 PM

Tomei valve springs install

KAT-PWR · 06-06-2017, 10:43 AM

Drove a drift event this passed weekend. Car did great even with minimal tune. Coolant temp sensor wires where I spliced them are separating and caused some rich issues towards the end of the day, but had a blast none the less.
Working on a swirl pot set up

KAT-PWR · 06-09-2017, 04:15 PM

Got some Velcro to finally have this thing full time, got a new amp for my door speakers and a Bluetooth receiver for the amps

joshg51 · 06-09-2017, 08:21 PM

i dig the m sports look

KAT-PWR · 06-11-2017, 04:45 PM

. Black silicone Hoses came in for the swirl pot, this thing is sweet

KAT-PWR · 06-18-2017, 10:11 AM

Edwin Guy · 06-18-2017, 01:33 PM

Really cool to see somewhat local dudes using nismotronic. I assumed you were somewhat local when I saw the enthalpy decal and then stalked your IG and followed you ha. Nice build dude.

KAT-PWR · 06-22-2017, 10:55 AM

Bit the bullet on a new OEM hatch seal. My hatch no longer leaks for the first time ever. Well worth the ridiculous price tag. Trying to take pride in this car again and make it nice. Especially since it's been my daily this whole year

I have something similar in the works. but I am going to extend it to the front bumper so I do not have to use that hose.

Edwin Guy · 06-22-2017, 12:17 PM
