Noise Related To New Split Dump Pipe...

I tried searching but had no luck!

I just installed a stainless steel split dump pipe onto my r32 (rb25 turbo), and immediately i noticed a strange noise that occurs only between around 2000-4000rpm... It sounds like the noise you make when you blow on the top of a bottle, but really loud!

It's as if the air inside the dump pipe is resonating when a certain amount of exhaust gas flow through it.

Anyone else had this happen after swapping their dump pipe for an aftermarket one?

Cheers!

was it a cheaper dump pipe (like off ebay)? it may be that the wastegate pipe isn't properly lined up with the hole, so it has a flap in there that is altering the airflow. mine had this, but i just took to it with a diegrinder.

yes, that sounds likely.

just take it off and have a look at the piping, could be as simple as the welds not being ground back.

Stainless dumps are made of thinner material than the standard cast dumps. They do tend to resonate more, not only because of the airflow but sound from the engine. You will always get a change in engine note with stainless dumps.

I took a look at the inside of the dump pipe, and it does have a bit of a metal flap at the wastegate return section that could be causing the noise. Thanks mad082, i'll get my diegrinder out and hopefully that will sort it out!

Cillham, i did notice that full boost is reached a bit quicker which is probably due to the gases flowing out more freely, so if anything, it's an improvement.

Thanks for the replies guys!

:P

      Need to see other side of PCB in that area...ie; I don't see any thru-hole mounting, just soldered vias (smd zeners in SOT23 have 3 legs but only 2 are used, as reflected by PCB tracks)

      4 to 5 is fine. It will be slow, but that's better than blowing turbos. I don't have a PS pump idle up solenoid on my car, because... I think when we put the Neo in we retained my R32 lines. But.... From inspecton of the R34 vacuum hose diagram, you can see that the solenoid needs to be connected to the turbo inlet as source of clean air) and the plenum (as source of vacuum - which is the place for the air to flow to to cause the idle to increase). So 3 to 1 is VERY WRONG. 3 should go to either the turbo inlet, or the plenum. Follow the other hose from the PS solenoid and if it goes to the plenum, then your 3 goes to 2 2 would also serve as a bleed port for a boost solenoid.

      Pull them out and pull more apart. You can't do shit with them still bolted to the floor of the car.

      Yes it is. ZD1 is on the other side of the board. Where ZD1 is marked is clearly opposite a 2 pin device. Our 3 pin device here is not a ZD.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      Alright, a little update on this... I called Fulcrum, who used to be the distributor in Australia. No Bueno, they don't service them anymore.  Called shock works, who don't service them but offered to dyno the shocks for performance, and suggested DNA in Sydney might service them.  Called DNA, who also do not service them and basically said they try to steer customers away from tein for this exact reason these days- there is just no support for them anymore apparently.  Both SW and DNA said they are a not necessarily a bad product, but they just don't service the brand or know anyone who does service the brand anymore.  So... I could keep calling around but at this point I think I'll probably just spring for the shockworks product, unless anyone here knows anything.  Cheers 🍻
