HI ALL

Well i finally got arround to fitting my FLYEN dump pipe, the bellmouth one. I have new gasket on the turbo to dump, but old ones on the cat.

Now for two days it was fine, but now, when you start it, it almost sounds like there is an exhaust leak somwhere, but inside the pipe, does it when warm too.

I have gone through all the bolts, all nice and tight, cheacked for leaks, can't feel anything, anywere. turbo, cat, manifold, all good.

The car still pulls like it did, no loss of power or anything.

You can't seam to hear it directy outside but more inside, like inside the pipe. I am thinking that now that the O2 sensor is more in the flow of the turbo, maybe that is making the sound.

I am going to get new gaskets for the cat, and put them in, just to make sure. But has anyone else had a simmilar problem to this?

ANYONE?

nope no high temp sealer between the dump and the turbo, no need, i got a genuine copper gasket, and was told not to use any, nobody i know has, and it is definatly not leaking from there, tripple checked now.

I got new gaskets for the cat, as they are the ones i have not changed, so i will replace these tommorrow night and see where from there.

It is like a leaking noise, but it is inside the pipe. BUT i do not notice any performance loss at all.

ANy other ideas?

    • 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?
    • thanks GTSboy. My confusion at the moment is i am trying to locate the ignition, ECU battery power and the ECU negative The closest thing i can find is the for the S15 on Page 8 of the Wiring Specialties web page https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9F33_M_GgENQnZ6STMxVmVNd1E/view?resourcekey=0-eZ4nNRwRoqa1qvKlWWHm8A I cannot find the same diagram for the R33 RB25DET Series 2 dash plug pin out.... Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...
    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
