Should be getting my exhaust soon and was wondering if it is necessary for wastegate integration as part of the system.

If there is no wastegate integration is there a chance of blowing the turbo up and has the stock exhaust got this integration.

Dont really know what Im talking about so please let me know.

But with a wastegate pipe it improves............ the flow and reduces turbulence just after the turbine

turbulence i s the disruption of air ... if you have turbulence, then the air flow is not linear, and if the air isn't all going one way at the same time, you'll have a reduction in the flow and and increase in restriction

I recently got my dump pipe done and its been a fantastic improvement. I went with a single pipe with a really wide opening at the top. Having had a look at the standard pipe its obvious how much better this is. The stock one on the 32 has a cast iron flat section just about blocking the wastegate area off... its horrible.

A larger single pipe is probably enough for most people. And theres little guarantee it will be better if you buy one with a separate wastegate pipe. This is because it may rejoin too early or too late causing similar turbulence issues within the system.

You'll see improvements either way, however the difference between the 2 styles of dump pipes probably cant be felt on an arse dyno (only a real one).

I'm geting my exhaust done next week. I pikd up a exhaust housing gasket, $20 and have since taken to my exhaust guy. He is going to weld up a new plate and incorporate in a seperate wastegate dump.

the dump off the back of the turbo will be a rapid increase to 3', the wastegate pipe will be 1"1/2. The exhaust guy has recently done something similar to another GTST, but the wastegate pipe entered the system down near the cat convertor.

My question is - "is this TOO far back? I know the further back the better. But we are talkin about 1 - 1.5m here".

"should I also thermal wrap any of the dump pipe???"

btw full 3" zorst turbs bak with hi flo cat and rear muffy etc etc..

tks.....

opposed to GTS-t VSPECs whos comes in at a right agle :)

Whether apart of the normal exhaust or a seperate screamer pipe, that joins back into the main exhaust at any section, or not at all.. wont hurt your turbo..

Id say the ultimate is an exhaust dump, one pipe with a secondary wastegate screamer which never enters back into the main pipe. Thats my next goal when the exhaust comes off..again.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
