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.

    • Hi everyone, I'm about to complete my first single turbo conversion on my R32 GTR and I thought I would post the step by steps that I will be following. I will list the parts I have / the parts I will be buying. I will be redoing this guide after I have completed the conversion. Parts list: - 3576 turbo 0.82 v-band (coolant and oil)  - v-band top mount turbo manifold - 50mm wastegate - manifold copper gasket - titanium manifold stud kit - turbosmart 3 port boost solenoid - link can lambda kit (wideband) - link ECU - radium 12AN push in valve cover fittings (pair) - hi octane catch can - 3.5inch downpipe - screamer pipe - pipe from turbo to intercooler - intake pipe setup - power steering relocation kit - oil drain block off plate - coolant and oil lines Now onto the step by step guide (please add / correct me if there's anything I missed: 1. remove fluids, twin turbo pipes, pod filters and afm's 2. remove the factory coolant hardlines from the hot side. 3. remove heat shields  4. remove the downpipe 5. remove turbos and manifolds 6. remove factory manifold studs 7. clean whatever mess you have made 8. install power steering relocation kit 9. install new manifold studs 10. install new turbo manifold with gasket 11. install new wastegate with screamer pipe 12. install new turbo  13. install new coolant and oil lines  14. install rear oil drain block off plate 15. stop and appreciate that you now have a single turbo in your GTR 16. wipe away tears of joy and install downpipe 17. install the wideband sensor into downpipe 18.install pipe to connect turbo to intercooler 19 .remove stock boost solenoid  20. install new boost solenoid 21.  install intake setup 22. setup the rest of the can lambda kit with the ecu  23. refill fluids and hope for the best 24. ask forums for help with issues 25. fix issues 26. drive your single turbo swapped r32 GTR into the sunset. Doneeeeeeeeeee. Now I know this isn't detailed at all but I will be doing that when the conversion is done. I will be posting pics and any helpful details i can and ill make sure to fit in as much information as I can. If there's anything I should know before i do this PLEASE let me know. Stay tuned for what's next. Thanks...
    • I have wasted too much time on this, more than I am willing to admit. I hope someone can set the record straight for me.  I want to replace my Nismo (non GT pro, non GT) standard 2 way in my R33 GTST with a 1.5 way... Ideally I want to get an ATS 1.5 way Carbon LSD, but I don't want to reuse my 29 spline 5x1 axle stubs, and new 30 spline 5x1's are impossible to get a hold of ($$$), and I don't want to drop the cash on going to 6x1 stubs and axles ATM. Which leads me to the Nismo GT Pro 38420-RSS15-B5 or RSS20, as they come with new axle stubs meant for the diff, and is "Convertible" from a 2 way or 1.5 way to "Other ways", but that is where I am stuck as the documentation is a bit all over the place.  To sum up what I have found I believe the all the Nismo GT Pro PN's are convertible from 2 way, 1.5 way, and 1 way; but Nismo sells 2 skus (2 & 1.5) so people do not have to disassemble to convert it.  I found this thread on 350z but it left the question unanswered. https://my350z.com/forum/engine-and-drivetrain/620032-nismo-gt-pro-lsd-1-5-vs-2-way-and-torque.html  Essentially the way I think it all works out is like follows...  2 way  1 way  and 1.5 way would be the center pinion shaft in the 1 way block, but with the with the center flipped 180*. So the ramped side of the pinion would face the 1 way gate and act like a ramp.    I can only get my hands on the 2 way in the states, and I am not trying to get stuffed on tariffs by ordering from Japan or anywhere else. I want to confirm that if I get the 2 way I can convert it to the 1.5.     
    • Hi everyone, I have purchased my first GTR and I want to do a single turbo conversion to it. I've been doing as much research as i can and there are a few things that I can find and need to know. I need to run a coolant feed, coolant return, oil feed and oil return for my turbo setup. Here's what I know so far: On the hot side of the rb26 there is coolant feed, oil feed and oil return. Coolant return will be going around the front of the engine to where the thermostat is located. I will need to block off the rear oil return port. I will be running a turbosmart boost solenoid so any of the factory boost stuff wont be needed. Now onto what I don't know: 1. What do I do with the coolant / vacuum hardlines that run around the back of the motor?. 2. What do I block off or loop or move or remove?. I will be running the OEM intake manifold. 3. Is there anything in particular I need to buy for the cold side of the rb26?. I already have the intercooler and pipes sorted. If you have any pictures or information it would be appreciated. Thanks....  
    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
