Dump And Front Pipe

I just bought an all in one split dump/frontpipe.

The all in one design allows the wastegate pipe to be much longer than the HKS style split dump and separate frontpipe combo.

This is supposed to reduce turbulence therefore improving the flow.

Some say that the all in one bellmouth type can make more power in the top end than either of the split types when running high boost but not everyone agrees with this.

Do a search and make up your own mind.

i was origianally going to go for a split style one... from marky at Exhaust technology (SA)

However he informed me that with the stock O2 sensor, they apparently have 3 prongs or somethin like that, and one of those sensors registers the heat expelled out of the turbo/wastegate.

now if your on full boost for a while (ie long hills thrash) then the air coming out of the wastegate pipe is much hotter than waht the O2 sensor (in the front pipe still) is reading.

Dont know exactly how this effects the computer etc of a stockish car..... but marky informed me to simply go for a bellmouth design.

yer the one in looking at is an all in one screamer and front pipe, so its like a normal front and dump all in one pipe but the seperate wastegate pipe doesnt join back into the exhaust. So what do you guys think ..

Hey im getting a split dump very soon, a stainless steel one that goes from turbo to front pipe.

How is the factory unit restrictive???they look very similar in the pic above apart from the SPLIT design, is it just its flow capabilities of the stock one???

And i assume youll see the same amount of gains from going front/dump combo, or just the dump pipe unit itself with an aftermarket front pipe???

is it a good idea to have the split dump heatwrapped first?and how much wrap will i need?

i was all in on getting one of the batmbl ones but after showing my friends they all say to get the greddy split dump and blitz front pipe because suposedly where the front and dump join has alot of stress and they crack easily there with the 2 in 1 designs,

and its actually happened on my mates s15 he had a 2 in 1 design and it cracked right where the dump and front would usally joing now he has the greddy & blitz combo!

around the same price as batmbls too

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
