Just wondering what you more experienced guys think of these 1 piece dump front pipes, it will be on a 32 with a soon to be fitted vg30 turbo. The pipe is the same price as a screamer style dump plus you get the rest of the piping down to the cat. Does the seperate pipe and seperater on the screamer style give you any significant gains over this style. Please give me your advise. Also, I have found an old AFC unit with ony one adjustment over the enyire rev range aprox 12% + or - for my turbo upgrade will this allow my stock ecu to handle the bigger flow of the vg30 or do I need to have my ecu remapped or do I need the newer Safc, I appreciate all your advice thankyou.

r32mspec, I have been told by an exhaust design specialist, that with the stock turbos, having a seperate wastegate pipe has no advantage over integrated. Its only when you start getting into larger aftermarked turbos it does help.

I had a combined pipe made up, that incorporated the front pipe, and am very happy with the results - and at half the cost of using a seperate wastegate pipe, I'm happy.

It cant be working too bad, becuase I dont have much spare in the way of injectors, and am at the limits of the stock turbo. Also, it is really, really hard to drive without coming on boost.

Let the people who disagree with me beat my 1/4 time. (jokes)

I'm with Rev on this one.

The stock turbo wastgate is the problem with the turbo (among other things). Using a seperate one might give you a bit more up top, but for the price it isn't worth it.

I got a one piece, got it for $280, and it works fine.

The only thing I want to do with it is wrap it in thermo wrap stuff.

Also, any ideas on what sort of boost level rise I can expect from adding the front/dump?

I haven't touched the boost and am running 6.5/8.5psi with a 3.5" cat back and pod.

Question is cause I'm looking at putting in a dual bleed valve setup (aka Zahos) and don't want to go over 10psi if I can help it.

i have a Trust cat back + front pipe and the peak boost is about 9.8psi; but when the boost kicks up at 4K it is pretty much always more than 9psi. I've just had a seperate wastegate dump fitted (today) and want to get on the dyno again to see what (if any) difference it made.

Hi Guys, so let me get this right, on a standard turbo that produces say 300 bhp (an RB25DET standard turbo) a separated wastegate pipe and turbine outlet pipe is not worth it. But on an after market turbo that produces, say 350 bhp (HKS 2530) a separated wastegate pipe and turbine outlet pipe is worth it.

Seems illogical to me.

I am having trouble believing that there is absolutely no interference whatsoever to the flow of exhaust from the turbine when the wastegate (even if it is a smaller one) opens. There must be some interference, it is simply a question of how much.

So it gets down to a matter of value for money, is the extra power gained worth the cost of separate pipes or not?

Experience would tell me that most people who go to the trouble of upgrading their dump in a Skyline, will sometime in the future (often forced by ceramic turbine failure) at least hi flow their standard turbo. Then a split dump for them is definitely a worthwhile investment.

Hope that adds to the thought processes.

hey guys,

If any1 wants to buy a front+dump pipe (one piece, like the picture above), let me know, because i can supply you with a mild steel 3 inch front+dump pipe for $260 for r32 & r33 skyline.

If you want a stainless steel one, its $360.

If someone want one for a 180sx or other let me know and i can quote you a price, i just have to call the guys that make it(CATCO).

They also do 3 inch hi-flow cats (with flanges). If interested, I can buy you one for $160.

I can ship interstate for a little extra.

cheers

I'm also interested in getting a 1 piece dump/front pipe ansd a 3" maybe 3.5" cat to finish off my exhaust . If you guys who know where to get these could you post links/details .

Everyone likes to save a bit of cash but does it sacrifice a bit of quality in the process ?

the trade prices for those pipes are higher than that.

you see people buying pipes for 400 etc, thats just too low for a decent stainless steel pipe me thinks..

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
