Hey guys,

I am getting a brand new stainless steel 3" turbo back system with high flowed cat installed on my r32 tommorow. At the moment i have a very cheap 3" cat back that came with the car when i bought it. It drones terribly and at 80km/h i can barely hold a conversation in my car without yelling which is the main reason for the upgrade.

But what i was wondering, was will the new exhaust with dump pipe and high flowed cat give much better performance than the current system i have?

Cheers guys

Well turns out I wont be gettin system today because of delays, but the guy gettin it in for me confused me. I asked him if it was definately turbo back and he said no, but it has a dump pipe?? My understanding was that a dump pipe is a pipe from the turbo back to the cat, meaning if you have a dump pipe you have a turbo back system??

Is that correct?

not quite...

turbo bolts onto dump pipe then to front pipe, then to cat, then cat-back

an aftermarket 3" cat back won't give any power increase over another 3" cat-back

the difference will come from fitting a dump/front pipe and the high-flow cat...

good luck,

Dump-pipe:

Front pipe:

Hi flow cat:

then

Catback + mufflers

You can also get front+dump pipe all in one pipe.

Thanks heaps for the help guys.

I'll have to wait and see if i have got a dump/front pipe all in one, but im thinking it will be, cause i looked on the website for the company that make them and it says 'Full turbo system'. Heres hoping anyway, im thinkin the entire system should resemble something like this...

i fitted a front pipe and dump to my r33. it already had a cat back, made a huge difference to the overall power of the vehicle, u will certainly notice it, as well as the increased volume of the turbo sp00ling too :P

Gota love the sound of a turbo spooling, after i had my dump and front pipe put into my cat back system that was on the car from Jap it goes harder up in the revs and sounds sweet.

hey,

Is it true that to modify the exhaust on the R33, changing the stock dump pipe is not necessary? I heard its quite good stock, so unless u got an aftermarket turbo a front pipe back exhaust will be just as good as turbo back.

Can anyone back this up?

Is it worth getting the dump pipe as well?

Cheers

Get a compleate system, if you have seen the stock dump its a peice of shit, thats why there is reasonable gains to be had.

So get any 3inch split dump?

What do u think of the cheap E-bay ones? Anything wrong with them?

cheers

r32line what kind of turbo back exhaust did you purchase?

and what do you all think is a better option for i: batmbl split dump front brand new + cat + second hand catback OR a full xforce system for $700?

From what i've heard SOME of the ebay dump pipes are okay, they're still a large improvement over stock.

Not sure about the HKS split dump pipe copies on ebay though, apparently BATMBL's longer wastegate chamber is better suited for reducing turbulence as it re-connects further down the pipe.

Anyone care to elaborate here?

I have always maintained the former. I would always go with that if I needed to upgrade a stock exhaust system.

I trust batmbl's pipes because they look like a good design, lots of people have made power on them and he's a good guy to deal with.

The second hand cat back you can inspect and make sure has no kinks etc and you can wash it out. For a metal pipe as long as it flows as good as it came out of the factory it's going to do it's job - it doesn't matter if some crazy Nihonjin has used it already :bomb_ie:

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
