was after some opinions on screamer pipes. currently i have a hks style split turbulence dump on there at the moment, but i am going to higflow the turbo, so i was wondering would it be beneficial to have a screamer or just keeping the one i got?? i am not really that concerned with the legality of it either. just wanted to know if it will pick up a bit more power and whether it would sound good.

cheers

Mate screamer pipe is the way to go

i got my wastegate pipe in the Atmosphere and it sounds like a jumbo jet is comming,As for power it depends how restrictive your exhaust is

what turbo and exhuast you running

Key difference you are forgetting

You are using a External Gate.

The starter of this thread, using an internal gate

Its like comparing apples and oranges, they might be fruit, but nowhere near the same as each other

I would doubt it will pickup power. And i doubt it will "sound good"

ive seen the light with internal gated screamers......

i gained power by plumbing it back up....... it also helped me clear my EPA notice too.... split is the way to go .. no doubt about it

screamers are fun, i loved the WTF expression id get when u'd open it up..... but robbed me of a fair bit of power........wont go back to screamer unless i have an external gate .. and 2 3/4 pipe sticking off it

split dump/front pipe - over 3" dump/front pipe????

split dump is the way to go. Causes less turbulance in exhaust gas flow when the exhausts from the gate re-enter and therefor improving flow/velocity. Most of the split dump pipes are calculated correctly with length etc to minimize turbulance and maximize flow and velocity, which is what you want.

was yours a standard turbo? or was it one of the ones with the split section for the wastegate like the HKS ones?

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
