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

      My apologies. I forgot we were talking about weird beard M series stuff. Had been talking elsewhere with someone about an R33 with similar subject and got confused.

      Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway

      Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.

      I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>
