I don't know how you guys install wastegate spring, but I'm in an apartment, my car is in the street and I have very basic tools.
I tried to figure out how to install the new spring in the wg and came out with this idea:
This thread is not about something extraordinaire or because I searched 2 weeks for this solution. I just wanted to share my idea...

I don't give more info on the setup cause I beleive that you are smart enough to figure out what I did :mexi:
I also found a mega hole in my manifold like 1/4" of diameter near the wastegate I need to fix. I "fixed" it for now with manifold cement at least it will remove the smell :?:

I always find it amasing people can turbo a car without owning decent tools/equipment and no garage. I couldn't live without a nicely equiped shop anymore.

Do you not own a vice?

He's canadian, what did you expect? j/k

My parents have a garage with all the tools I need, but I don't live there and it's 40 min away.
I can't do anything big in the street anyway...
Other than the timing belt I did last year :?:
What would I do with a vise in my apartment ? :P

If you're poor/ghetto, walk right into Home Depot with your wastegate. Grab a clamp. Go find somewhere quiet. Change your spring. Put it back on the shelf. With that said, C-Clamps are something you should have. How do you depress your rear caliper without a c-clamp?

Obviously with a piece of pipe and the weight of the car... :D

You twist them in by hand because you can't compress them like a set of front calipers?

bingo....now for the front i rarely use c clamps. i just stick a flathead between the pad and rotorand pry its alot quicker, or you can use a big plumbing wrench

Wait, my method take 1/10 of that time. You know that a wastegate is hot after couple of minutes driving around :P
The wastegate is on the car, not in my hands.
Btw, I when I need to do something "big" like changing bushing or do caliper job, I go to my parents house. My dad has for like 30k$ of tools...
I just don't want to drive 40 minutes to go there so I use my car has a vise :P
-
amazing use of scissor jack!! 2 thumbs up ;D
-
cool. but i just push down on the top and put 2 bolts in and then the rest no vice or bs like that. u got a 2bar spring in there? ???
-
It's a 15psi spring. I can push on top or with my hands and risk to strip 2 holes or I can take 2 minutes to install the jack and do my trick.
I'm 155lbs and you need at least 50lbs to push down that spring. It's 1/3 of my weight. I can do it by hands (without my weight), but I would need a third hand...
Huh, where is you noob post sir?

Your third hand is your cock sir

I know, but do to a complication that I don't want to talk about, I have no more finger on my cock. Yeah I know it's tragic, but shits happen!

Gain weight pussy, it's not hard to man bitch those gates back together.

Fuck that. Buy it, use it, return it. If you're scared, put tape over the ends. Otherwise they'll return almost anything if you're reasonable/forceful about it.

Be more respectful of Domtar pamphlets, I work there.

Like the idea of using your car and the ground as parts of a vise. ;D
$0 invested to get something done, works for me. :yes:

If you're really poor, you can't afford the $6 to buy it.

noob post? go f your self. i have been around since ohmt was started.

wastegates are for pussies.

Well, even with the 13psi spring (yeah, I thought it was 15psi) the boost only reach 7psi.
I fixed a mega leak in the charge pipe but I only gain RPM on spool. Full boost at 4k instead of 5500 :P
It's accelerate "a lot" faster at low RPM, I'm sure I gained 30lbs of torque on the entire powerband by fixing that leak...
Still can't hit the boost cut tho... It stop at 7psi. I think it might be the ching chong BOV that is leaking.
It was doing the same shit on my last integra and its the same fucking setup. I doubt I installed it exactly the same way...
I'll try to pressurize it later today.
What is the best way to hook up the wastegate presure inlet? I use the nipple on the turbo. I doubt it can do a 7psi difference tho...
