I've got a screamer pipe on my stock turbo rb20. I don't know how it sounds outside of the car, but from inside it sounds pretty mean when the wastegate opens up. It also cured some boost spiking issues i was having with the stock setup.

so u guys reckn it will sound shit on the twin turbos ??

yo turko, try and understand it has nothing to do with single turbo, twin turbo or tripple turbo. a screamer pipe runs from the outlet of the wastegate and vents to atmosphere. now there are generally used on external wastegates. some GTRs with twin kits have twin wastegate, some have singles, even some single kits have twin wastegates. it's got nothing to do with how many turbos you have. The reason it will sounds like a leaking exhaust on your cars is that you are running standard turbos which have INTERNAL WASTEGATES. that is they are integrated into the exhaust housing of each turbo. with that being the case it's very hard to get it completely sealed from the exhaust gas flowing through the turbine.

I say do it you will be the envy of your mates.

Hahaha, nice call.

BEST way to turn heads whilst on full boost, which means you are probably going fast, which means the cops will defect you cause they will think you are a dick and then because they are defecting your engine bay, they probably won't stop at the exhaust leak. I wouldn't do it unless you never see police cars where you are.

ok i was proven wrong on the weekend, went for a ride in my mates Cefiro, RB20, as far as i know stock turbo, a 3" straight thru system (if u know what i mean). and a screamer.

It sounded AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i took a video on my phone but its crap

Not to mention the fact that because they're stock turbos (reads small turbos running off 3 cyl each) and the fact that they're ceramic so you can't run high boost, each turbo won't be pushing much cfm of air. As a result, when the wastegate opens and lets the air out the screamer, this 'little' amount of air sounds bad, as mentioned above, like an exhaust leak.

    • For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.
    • Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?  
    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
