A stock dump pipe flows the spent exhaust gases from the turbo and wastegate through the exhaust system (cat, resonator, muffler etc), the screamer pipe directly vents gases from the wastegate into the atmosphere. I'm guessing you have stock internal gate turbo, so you can have a screamer pipe but it requires a partition between turbine wheel housing and the wastegate for seperate dump and screamer.

Advantages of a screamer pipe: THEY'RE FUGGIN COOL!! and get they the attention of everyone when the wastegate cracks open at full boost, they also reduce turbulence and backpressure in exhaust system.

Disads: Illegal, very loud

Explaination of the setup is in the above post... so here is a bit more.

For a stock turbo or otherwise internally gated, pointless.

Only really useful when using a properly setup external gate arrangement.

On a stock or near stock turbo they sound dreadful as the internal gates are tiny, and it simply (performance based) doesnt offer a gain as there isnt enough flow coming out of the turbo that a normal internally turbo with a good flowing 3" exhaust cant handle.

If you do have a larger (int gated) turbo, and you are having issues with boost control, then the cause is the turbo itself... and it should be fixed there, not with an ext gate/screamer

So far in my car i have these mods:

apexi power fc

3 inch exhaust cat back

front mount

z32 airflow meter with apexi pod

12psi

do you reckon it would be worth putting a dump pipe on for now until i get a bigger turbo to put a screamer pipe?

Also what power gains am i looking at if i put a dump pipe?

Also if i put a bigger turbo would a screamer pipe get good power compared to a dump?

Also SINISTA are you running that off a stock turbo?

Why are you running a Z32 on a stock turbo'd car...

Dump pipe is quite important.

Dont both with a screamer/ext venting pipe dude, its pointless, if you read my post... apply that to the "bigger turbo" scenario and you'll have your answer

i had a screamer pipe on a stocko turbo on a 20 in one of my old cars, it actually hindered performance but sounded tuff as (ie like it had an external gate with screamer pipe). it was a hks item :) . screamer pipes make your car sound 10 times as loud at full boost, i swear i came every time it hit full boost :D

How did it hinder performance?

This is very true how it sounds and performs is directly related to who its been made by and how much development has been put into it and not wether it is an internal or external.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
