What exactly is needed to make the Turbo back zorst ? I've already got a cat back which does the job, but looking to upgrade with the front bits. Now I've heard the words front pipe and dump pipe thrown around, but with little understanding of what they actually are. I mean, the concept is pretty simple right, exhaust gases come out the back... But basically, if I buy, say a HKS Front Pipe, will that go from the Turbo back to the cat ? Or does it need something else ? And what's the advantage of buying the HKS pipe over a local custom job ? And also price wise ?

The front section goes like this;

Dump pipe - this comes straight off the turbo and is about 25cm long.

Front pipe - this connects to the dump pipe and goes to your cat.

Cat - does all the greenie stuff and makes your car legal.

The key to the front pipe is the size and flow, remembering that when the gasses come out of your turbo they are very hot and have expanded a fair bit, so the bigger and free'er flowing the better.

Some dump pipes have the seperate pipe for the wastegate which should help top end power when the wastegate opens. I haven't seen back to back dyno runs to compare though.

If you do go with the front pipe go for both front and dump pipe.

I put a front and dump pipe on mine a few weeks ago and the seat of the pants difference is noticable. It seems to spool up faster and has more mid to top end power.

Ahhhh, love the mods....

If you have a Cat back exhaust, you may get away without having to change your old Cat. Just make sure it's big enough to fit the new front pipe.

I guess if you have one made up locally, it works out cheaper than the HKS one. However, the HKS one is pretty much guarenteed to give you good HP. Still, go the locally made as the difference may be only minor.

Birty..

Here are some pics to help you out...

these are off a S15 Silvia but you get the idea..

Dump pipe..

This is the very first part of the exhaust. It is bolted directly to the turbo..

Front pipe..

Connects to the end of the dump pipe and the other end to the CAT.

Back pipes..

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
