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..

    • 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.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
