What's the point of a liquid cooled wastegate?

 

[Maxx Mazda]

What I mean to say, is what are the advantages of a liquid cooled wastegate over a "dry" one?

 

[BRIAN_MP5T]

It is 1/3 it's size

 

[BRIAN_MP5T]

No more...

Power Steering
Air Conditioner
Water Pump...


So the Belt looks like this now...

27.5" Long...

Are you gonna convert to manual rack? Thiers more to a power rack than just fluid lines, it'll feel like s*** and will break down faster

 

[BRIAN_MP5T]

Umm, It's been fine for the last ten year...

I bought the car new and pretty much, that was one of the first things I did. Took it off, threw it in the garbage and never looked back.

Do you have the lines loops on the steering rack? I never did like the steering feel with all the seals and everything left in a de-powered power steering rack. "Mushy" is the best way I can describe it. On my RX-7 I'm actually going to break open the rack, remove all the seals and remaining P/S fluid, coat in grease and reassemble. I understand the Miata guys do something similar and it's supposed to be the only "real" way to turn a power rack into a manual one.

[BRIAN_MP5T]

Yup, Drain, Grease, Cap...




BTW: UPDATES!!!

 

[BRIAN_MP5T]

Rolled the car out to get the floor in the garage cleaned...

The GT30 sits Center-line.

It was the first time I was able to see the turbo from a distance because it had always been in the garage.

What are you pointing at in the pic?

 

[BRIAN_MP5T]

Nothing. I am using my finger to hold it in place.

 

[Lewis7789]

So you've had a de-powered power steering rack for ten years without issues? Even with your 18's?

 

[BRIAN_MP5T]

Correct

 

[bikingpro5]

looks good Brian.

 

[BRIAN_MP5T]

The Pump sounds loud in the video only because there is no water in it.

 

[ajkulish]

[AzteCypher]

[Maxx Mazda]
