Project Nissan 240SX KA24DE Part 2 - Tech Knowledge
|
In our last installment, we had an initial mock up of the 60mm Turbosmart wastegate positioned under the power steering pump. This preliminary design proved to be problematic, as the transition from the manifold would be a tight fit. This would also radiate heat to the power steering and intake systems. Instead, Naoto decided to redirect the wastegate inlet tube towards the transmission and clock the wastegate pipe towards the back of the car. Because of the weight the pipe bears, it has to be reinforced at the manifold and under the car, to prevent cracks. View Related Article
