hi guys

Am wanting to improve my exhaust flow, have 2530's, any recommendations on using dump pipe, exhaust manifolds for RB26dett? Have a kakimoto front pipe in place already.

Options so far are:

HKS Dump kit (dont know where can get manifolds from)

Tomei Dumps and exhaust manifolds

Nismo Dumps

Power Enterprise Dumps (bit $$$)

Dont want to go for the Ebay options at this stage. thanks any input would be appreciated.

A topic that i have been umming about for some time.

i wouldnt bother with ebay dumps at all. as they are just hks copies? (correct???)

But thinking along the terms of a company who makes things that just do their job, mines would be a nice step. they are very farmilir with 25/30's also. and i would think tomei would be a good go aswell..

What i would like to know is split dump's are they really that good compared to something like mines and tomei's

i was thinking of getting the trust kit. as it includes a larger than what i have now front pipe. and will match up with the rest of the exhaust i also have but looks like a nightmare to fit.

Now getting down to straight up facts..

Tomei outlet is 76.3

Mines which is 70 but appears to have some sorty of small split? or just an odd shape..

Now the trust front/dump

70main 38split 80end

i've also seen versions of the trust with a bit of flex.. which i hope is what trust make as that thing would be the worst to fit without flex involved.

And hks 60.5 and 38

Power enterprise cant find any information about them at all tho

Also look into your cast manifolds. and having the extrude honed. As you will find that alot of aftermarket stainless ones are prone to cracking.

thanks guys have decided to go for the Tomei items....the exhaust manifolds and dumps. have thought of doing that the extruded n honed option...but for not much more can go for the tomei ones...with the cracking ...read a thread by SK and how not many people take into consideration of exhaust supports so will look into that placing more supports if possible and not get a crack in the manifold. hopefully will get order in as soon as i do my tax return :(

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
