got mine on last night. lined up perfect thanks again mic. got a nice whistle note to the exhaust now and got an extra 1.1 psi boost increase when running 9 psi. used to peak at 8.8 now at 9.9 psi so be carefull if your running higher boost :D

got mine fitted today, sounds a lil louder than usual, thou i dont have a cat back yet...

The dude charged me 190 bucks, i think i was ripped off badly, oh well its on now, he had to add like another inch of pipe cause it wasnt fully connected up, so i donno how that works out... Neways still very happy with it and it looks great!

maybe coz you got a 4 door car, so the lenght of the exhaust should be longer?? to connect to the cat??

Hmm 190 seems ok.. If the bolts snapped off or something then they charge more. its basically all labour. Took me 3 hours or so.. Or i think it was 4..

But still need to take it out again and heat wrap it..

What do u guys use to heat wrap it?

I was just about to bring this up - have people done it or not?

went down to autobarn and they sell some - looked a little dodgy though and $20 for like ~5m. Is it really needed as Ill Ive heatwraped up id the larger of the spilt pipe all the way down to where the smaller pipe joins the bigger one.

So should I spend another 20 and get it all wrapped up?

yeh i think it is cause i got a 4 door, the length would be a tad longer... but yeh i suppose i have no complaints over the installation, better payin a lil more for it to be working fine than paying less for it to stuff up

Well depends if you need to heat wrap it..

Mine is touching the aircon pipe.. The aircon pipe contains gases. SO think about. The pipe touch the aircon pipe in summer with high temps for long periods of time. Sooner or later its just gonna melt that pipe or make a hole. I will leave the rest to your imagination.

But if your wastegate pipe (the smaller pipe) doesnt touch the aircon pipe then it should be fine i guess..

Should be about 50 bucks for a decent quailty one tho.. Any exhaust shops should have them.

Im gonna heat wrap mine up b4 summer really hits. So most likley mid sept. Or i might have to relocate that air-con pipe.

Keep you posted i guess when i get mine done.

Got mine fitted today, car is alot more responsive to say and the topend has picked up quite abit too.

Just wondering though: did anybody else have their wastegate split pipe VERY close to the gearbox? Mine is actually TOUCHING at the moment but the dump flange lines up with the turbine perfectly. Theres no rattles and bangs when driving at all, but I'm still abit paranoid - can anybody confirm this is ok? Michael?

Thanks,

Andy

got mine fitted yesterday

previously i had the 3" bellmouth and ran 14psi to make 155rwkw

with the 3" split, i ran 13psi to make 170rwkw :rolleyes:

that's 15rwkw at 1psi less! dyno graphs to prove if anyone needs...

oh, and the split pipe runs on the opposite side to the gearbox on the rb20.. mine almost touches some aircon lines but they are insulated so its all ok..

OnGsTa,

Check the pipe to see if it has any indentations at the point that its touching. it will most likely not be a problem because the R34 dump & front pipe is bolted not only at the turbo flange but also has a bracket that that gets bolted to the car just before the cat, so there will be no movement/friction against the box.

WazR32GTSt,

Thats a great difference! Thank you for sharing that information :rolleyes:

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
