but does anyone know for sure if screamer pipes are illegal or not in NSW? I know in Victoria their not.

:laugh:

Do you even know what a screamer pipe is? And/or what the Australian Design Rules (which are a Federal law and thus apply in every State and Territory) are with respect to emissions?

doesnt a screamer pipe only loud when the wastegate opens?

so if i were to control my boost... not reving over 4,000 then that my wastegate shouldnt open.... or does it?

btw all new to this turbo side of cars...

On a stock turbo it will "leak" no matter what RPM, and will sound like you have an exhaust leak until it comes on boost when the wastegate fully opens.

also since i have a stock rb25det engine, what good would installing a bigger wastegate to my stock turbo do for me?

Absolutely nothing. There it nothing that installing an External Wastegate will achieve on a stock RB25 turbo.

I honestly think you should forget about this screamer pipe talk...

Also the whole External Wastegate talk... you have what is essentially a stock car.

I would highly reccomend to just go and purchase a Split Dump from BATMBL or someone else who sells them on this forum (check the For Sale/Trader section for this)

i think it wouldnt do me any good anyways because arent the stock turbo's ceramic and can only withstand 12psi max boost before causing any damages?

10psi would be my limit if i had to choose from

My car when it had the Ext Gate.

NOTE: I've never head an internally gated turbo sound even close to this.

So dont expect to get anywhere near what the video shows

cheers

umm isnt this the sound of an external wastegate without a screamer pipe?

sounds good...

*just about to tear my hair out*

The link is my car.

The sound of an External 45mm Turbosmart Wastegate, with a screamer pipe.

Running off a GT30 600hp turbo

A screamer pipe is the metal pipe that plugs into the wastegate.

It is called a screamer because it is venting to the atmoshpere

An External wastegate can be plumbed back into the exhaust and then it no longer has a screamer pipe because exhaust gas from the wastegate now runs through the Catalytic Convertor and then though to the rest of the Exhaust System

I dont have the time to draw you a pic in MSPaint.

If someone else does then maybe that will make you understand.

I seriously suggest to go to this website and please READ what is on there

well im actually planning after installing the screamer pipe

a 3.5" turbo back exhaust system

so i guess i have to put up with the sound of an exhaust leak for a bit

but its not like i drive my car everyday tho... weekend only

but how bad will this sound like on my stock system?

R31Nismoid... do you know what it sounds like???

also i am going to install the screamer soon... cause ive recently got it custom made

just curious of what people have experienced from these things

seriously stuff the screamer pipe unless ur gonna get an externally gates turbo like a gt30 + they all sound like rat shit, not havin a go but i heard plenty of internal gated screamers and external gated screamers and there is a big difference in sounds...i like my screamer on my car but i have a td07s with a 45mm ex. gate running 20psi my mate has one on a stock turbo and i wont go there on how it sounds

ben...

it will sound like SHIT on your stock system

take some proper advice

*pics up hair and sticks on own head*

so R31Nismoid... can I make this screamer pipe make flutter noises bro?

:)

ps - don't ban me.. :laugh:

I was simply asking the next question for the man. :P

I can describe the sound of a screamer pipe on stock turbo.

Get one of your mates.

feed him large plate of baked beans.

after about 2 hours, when he feels his stomache expand and make noises slowly traveling down his stomach to his ass, quickly lie on the floor on your side, with your left or right ear facing up towards the ceiling, get your mate to pull his pants down, undies too... get him to press his hairy arsehole to your upward pointing ear...

then tell him to let it rip!!!

there you have it..

screamer pipe off stock turbo, stock wastegate.

NOTE: Tell your friend to try and not follow through and shit all up side your head.

The thing i always find it funny on here is people say, "its federal law, and its illegal" but how many people's car break the laws here, or break the laws in their cars.. i dont think anyone could say they dont.

I think a screamer with an externally gated turbo sounds awesome.. Suprises a few people with a stealth exhaust on...

An internally gated turbo with a screamer pipe from my experiences sounds like a strangling cat... a HHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA sound... like when you hear a car with a really quiet exhaust getting up it... just a lot of air out of a pipe sound.

If you want to hear a video, search for the video HKS Twin Turbo Supra VS. Nissan 240sx.mpg on kazaa, the supra has one... bear in mind that car probably has 800+hp.. but gives you an idea how loud it is... haha its hallariously loud. The thing to bear in mind when you have a really loud car as well, is that police will hear you from ages away, which might sound cool, but you're always treading on eggshells when you get up it in the city, or anywhere for that matter

R31Nismoid, let him go and do whatever stupid thing he wants to do, only way it seems for some people to learn...often after about 3 failed attempts as well...

Im done trying to help in this thread :dry:

R31Nismoid - dude - your car sounds sick :P so angry :P

Cheers. You get over it though, trust me.

That was the old setup however :O

i know the fines 10k for no cat but what is the fine for a screamer? i have mine set up with a flange so i can easily have it on or off coz i luv the sound but dont look forward to the fines even though it is very hard to see it, so yeh anyone know the exact fine for them

ben...

Its exactly the same. You are venting exhaust gasses to the atmosphere unmuffled and not using a catalytic converter. You could put a muffler and cat on a screamer pipe and it would be perfectly legal.

aquariuz6, are you after the choof-choof-choof-choof noise when you come off the throttle rather than blow off valve noise? From your posts thats what im guessing as you dont seem to comprehend what a screamer pipe actually is (not to mention asked if you can run a BOV when you have installed your screamer pipe??), and alot of people think a ''wastegate'' makes the choof-choof-choof-choof noise.

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
