It's only happened since Bosimporting changed manufacturers for their SS split front/dump pipes, basically instead of having an open mouth and a splitter, on the dump pipe flange, they've changed it to a pipe that actually fits inside the exhaust outlet on the turbo (to achieve a good seal).

As most of you know the highflowed turbo has a much larger exhaust outlet, so the pipe on the dump pipe flange is way too small now.

What I had to do was, take my split front/dump and get the pipe removed and the hole enlarged for the exhaust outlet, and have a splitter welded in.

Heres some pics that will help explain it.

The original style, with open mouth and splitter (will suit highflow)

And the new style (which i think is only with the SS one) Give Michael @ BOS a call and he'll confirm it,

they may be doing them all like this now, i don't know.

Could you please explain? i've just gotten myself a hi-flo, and i thought they used the exact same turbo housing as the standard turbo. why would this mean any standard dump pipe wouldn't work? i've got a custom mild steel dump, nothing flash but i just don't want to have to fork out for mods to my exhaust if this turbo is different

The current trend in split dumps is to extend the turbine pipe past the flange and inside the turbine cover. It fits neatly/tightly inside the turbine cover. This stops any chance of wastegate exhaust contaminating the flow (causing turbulence) from the turbine. The more common style has a little bridge that is welded to the dump pipe flange and stops 99% of the cross contamination. The pipe extension is a better system, it stops 100%.

The problem with the pipe extension style of dump is when you get the turbo high flowed they machine out the turbine cover and the extension pipe is then too small to fit tightly/neatly into the larger hole.

So if you are intending to get a high flow later on you need to order the more common style with the bridge that fits both standard and high flow turbine covers.

:rofl: cheers :)

I have just ordered a SS split dump with the pipe extension. I do not intend to hi-flow the turb so am happy with it as is. However, is there any reason in the future why the pipe could not be shortened from its current length, or modified to suit?

ahh, i get it. no worries on my end then, i don't have that flange. old school!

It can be modified, this is what i had to get done, the pipe can just be shortened, but the hole has to be enlarged to suit the larger exhaust housing outlet on the turbo, and a splitter welded in to separate the wastgate gasses.

It was basically a big hassle for me, had to take the pipe to get modified, took a couple of days, cost $150, and was far from a straight swap over, which installing a highflow normally is.

Just my angle, I don't think you would go from what you have to a split now Brendan but maybe from standard this is a better option?

For sure; always comes down to budget & cash at hand, tho.

So, if you've got $500 to grab a split dump system then sure do it.... when I did my first bout of tuning it was all about being on a tight budget at the time, and still is.

I can sell my dump pipe at anytime and uprade, but really at this stage of the cars tune (160akw) its a hole and flows thru exhaust gasses pretty damn well for its price.

Just waiting until the time is right. :(

ok, this infromation is great thanks for the responses, but the turbo that is on my car is at GCG GT30, will i still have to modify the dump?

If you can get the pipe with an open mouth and splitter (like the first of the pictures i posted) it'll fit no worries.

Talk to michael at BOS Importing, tell him what turbo you have, and i'm sure he will sort it out for you.

well i just picked up my exhaust from Unique AutoSports in castle hill,

i got the catco metal inside cat, and a mild steel split dump pipe, with ceramic coating.

I spoke to John at UAS, he is very helpful and knows his stuff.

anyways, here are some pics

EGA when you get the dump and cat fitted can you please let us know whether it is a noticeable power upgrade?

How did the front mount feel once fitted over the side mount?

Also is the dump that you bought suit Hi Flow Turbo`s?

Hey Ega, dump pipes are like people, they dont breath too well with plastic bags over their heads. :D .....hah ha :huh:

I know, it's late and I'm tired...

lol, i'll try to remember to take it off when i get it installed Darrin.

yeah no worries. i'll post it up once i get it done

front mount made a slight difference but at the stage im at with mods, it is mostly a cosmetic upgrade, if i was making more power then im sure it would make more of a difference.

will suit high flow fine

sweet well i got a pm from batmbl today and he said that there will be a group buy on stainless dump/front to suit r33 and 32 stags etc... soon so will be purchasing one then

the stainless steel one from BATMBL is not suitable for a high flow.

    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
    • The stock manifold is "mostly" divided. The divider actually has a notch cut out of it where it would meet the divider on a twin scroll housing. I have no idea why. But whatever the reason, it would cause some cross talk when used with a twin scroll housing. People do put twin scroll housings onto that manifold. But I'm of the opinion that proper twin scroll internal gating is...not really possible at this scale. You'd be throwing good effort (ie $$) after bad, when you really should be doing something else. Notwithstanding that.... I am not sure what the idea that you are floating has to do with the difference in comp cover position caused by the highflow using a shorter length core than the stock Hitachi one. Can you clarify what you meant?
