Low Weight Wastegate
Low Weight Wastegate
The LW wastegate was designed in 2018 and has been on race winning cars in Rally X as well as on some street applications.
Based on the ultra successful WTCC and GT3 wastegates, the LW keeps the same valve size and casting as the WTCC and GT3 wastegates, but utilises a smaller diaphragm, spring and cap in the quest for reduced mass (LW = low weight).
Designed to cope with the extreme conditions experienced during racing, the LW was designed with high performance and exceptional quality parts, so as not to compromise reliability:
- Inconel casting
- Nimonic 80 forged valve
- Austenitic Stainless Steel spring - this is available in many different spring rates, depending on your boost requirement.
- Stainless steel billet machined valve guide housing
- Sintered valve guide
- Internal Inconel heat shield to protect valve guide and membrane
- Top-hat style Nomex-reinforced fluoropolymer rolling membrane
- #3 and #4 JIC Boost connectors – Impossible to connect incorrectly
- V-band clamp mounting system, supplied with 304 stainless weld-on adaptors
