Motorsports continues to progress quicker and faster thanks to the integration of electronics through street and competition products.

The technology advance in the motorsport is noticed for the progressive increase of embedded electronics, and that’s a reality on both street and competition. One of the hottest topics nowadays when related to embedded electronics is the electronic wastegate, replacing the CO2 system.

The renowned TurboSmart, developed a wastegate that allows precise boost control eliminating a bunch of components that are needed when using the traditional wastegate, from hoses and CO2 to springs and diaphragm.

There are no springs, no hoses and no boost reference signal, nor any of the limitations associated with any of them. Gone are ‘Minimum’ boost levels associated with base spring pressure or the heat related issues with hoses. If your manifold priority is good enough, you can set your boost anywhere from zero up to ‘All of it’ – All from your laptop with FTManager or through your FuelTech FT500/FT550/FT600 ECU touchscreen display.

HYPERGATE45:

The eWG45 is a cost effective, high performing 45mm external wastegate. Your FuelTech FT500/FT550/FT600 PowerFT ECU can control the eWG45 allowing the user to manage boost more precisely and with no need for hoses nor springs.

POWERGATE60:

The eWG60 is the effective solution for high performance electronic wastegate valve, with 60mm diameter and high flow, combined with FT500/FT550/FT600 PowerFT FuelTech’s ECU technology, allows complete control over the eWG60 paremeters, making boost control more precise than when using the traditional wastegate that uses a diaphragm and spring.

SPECIFICATIONS

The new eWastegates are a direct fit upgrade to all 4th-generation Turbosmart wastegates and feature TurboSmart unique collar-locking system, variable motor cap and base, strap-type V-band clamps, liquid-cooling, 1/8″ NPT ports.

Control: With the introduction of the electronic motor to drive the eWastegate, a new level of control is now available to boost control, there is a wide range of tuning strategies that can be implemented to better control boost as well as engine protection. This allows the Engine to maintain much better control with the turbo boost strategies.

Adjustability: The 5th generation eWastegate range has been designed with maximum user-adjustability, without comprising performance. TurboSmart designed this unit with almost infinite possibilities of directions in which the motor assembly can be mounted with the engine bay. So, if you need the eWastegate mounted in the opposite orientation to stop fouling with parts within the engine bay, there is an orientation that is suitable for the eWastegate to operate in. This mixed without the need of having to remove and reassemble due to changes in base wastegate spring pressure the eWastegate has next level control adjustability of the position of the wastegate valve.

Upgrades and Servicing: Due to the modular construction, the new range is also upgradeable and completely serviceable by TurboSmart, as all components can be removed or upgraded. Components have been tested for over one million cycles so reliability will be rock-solid.

Flow and Thermal Performance: Our new range of wastegates out-flow all competitors thanks to our world-leading engineering and simulation abilities. Thermal performance has been improved drastically compared to competitors, and all wastegates feature liquid cooling ports for further thermal performance if required

FAQ

  Will an eWG fit my existing manifold?

Yes. The Turbosmart eWG range works with the modular housings of the Gen-V products, so wherever your Turbosmart Gen-V products are fitted, the eWG will bolt on as they use the same mounting & flange orientation. The Actuator housings of the new eWG range are different though, so you’ll need to make sure there is room for the new design in your engine bay.

How fast is the eWG range?

72mm per second – Full travel can be achieved in 290ms. Fast.

What spring options does the eWG range have?

Just the one option: None. The Turbosmart eWG is fully adjustable without the need for springs. It can actuate boost against extreme levels of back pressure and does so without any springs. Nothing to change, ever. It also features a special ‘zero-back-drive’ to reduce power consumption.

Can I use an eWG instead of my Compressed Gas (co2) setup?

Yes you can – In fact, it’s one of the situations that the eWG would be ideal for. You will not need the external compressed gas tank, the lines or the solenoid – You just need the eWG.

What do I need to control it?

A FuelTech FT500/FT550/FT550LITE/FT600 PowerFT ECU, one FT Dual Power Driver, a spare input and two yellow outputs to make it work. The FuelTech ECU allows for auto-calibration and closed loop boost control, easy-peasy.

Can I rotate the top housing?

Yes. The modular design of the GenV Range of External Wastegates means you can rotate the actuator housing 360 degrees, for virtually unlimited orientation.
