Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) External wastegate vs Factory wastegate

[TStetson]

Could the factory wastegate on a hx-35 be used on a set of twins or do you have to use and external? I am going to be running and hx-35/14 with and ht3b/26. What is the down side to doing this? I would like to eventually like to go to an external wastegate but right now money is not permitting it at this time.

I am running the stock waste gate also ran with the externalgate on the dyno did not any realy big diffance. just make sure to open the wastgate up to around 1 inch and both banks of the exhaust George

I'm with George, the OEM gate is ok. The only thing I have heard is that it may not bypass enough air in stock form. This can be corrected.

George & Cooker long time no see. How the heck are you guys doing? What can I do to make the stock wastegate flow more?? Open the hole up some?? I am open to any suggestions. I have two hx-35 I can work with.

been good how have you been



open it up with a one inch drill bit some go inch and a 1/8 and drill all the way down thought the splitter George

 

[Cooker]

I don't think it is necessary to drill the "splitter" out to 1" A smaller hole should get the job done. At least from what I have seen on other TT setups. What do you think George?

you all ready have the housing in the press might as well go strieght down so that the banks will gate evenly George

 

[TStetson]

Sounds good to me thanks guys.



I have been good. My dad still talks about the seat at macomb! Are you going to be at munci this year?? I am hoping that I will make it. Maybe I'll get to see the Little Cummins Express! Take it easy hope to see you guys in the future.



Thanks Again.
