run a 4" dump pipe and turn it down to 3.5" at the bottom of the firewall.

the gate needs to plumbed back so as to cause minimal interference to the flow of the exhaust.

ive got a pic somewhere of one i recently plumbed back, ill dig it up

Cool. Thats what im looking to do. Though 3.5" may be as big as i can get in there. Imalso going to branch it in on the upstram of the bend in the inner radius so the flow that will be causing friction as it flows around the bend isnt casuing turbulence in the branch

wtf that waste gate is welded in the turbo crazy.....

Not really, a lot of people do it, more when lowmounts are done and there isnt a lot of room to move.

Troy, just back off as you come past the EPA test point, one sec later get back into the loud pedal. :closedeyes:

holy shiet!!! my external gate is plumbed back and i have a full 3 inch exhaust with destroyed cat and one muffler. will there be a benefit for me if i make mine atmo instead of plumb back?

Its highly possible there would be a gain.

You wont know till you pull it off, depends on your exhaust, if its restrictive or not

my 45mm gate was atmo.. The cops pulled me up and we had a VERY loooong talk about it!

Luckily they didn't know what they were looking at, and I got away with it!

Its plumed back now, but I had a few boost issues for a while. My screamer was a 42mm pipe.

so i just joined it up near the cat. but boost was creeping very fast even on low boost.

then I went to a 50mm. It holds on low boost now. I put it down to the fact that the

gate does more work on low boost, and the extra gas was just too much for the smaller pipe.

ohh, I put a flex joint in the WG pipe, but i keep cracking the manifold

at the collector where the WG pipe feeds from.

I will be fitting a brace between the dump pipe, WG dump and engine VERY soon!

something to be mindful of..

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • 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?
