Just wondering if there will be a noticeable difference on a stock turbo (R33 11psi) between a split dump, and a split dump/front pipe (where the split joins to the main pipe further along)? What is your experience?

Also, do you guys always heat wrap your stainless steel dump/front pipes? Is it required/advisable?

Another thing, i noticed when i put my highflow cat on, it caused richness. Will i find the same with going from standard dump to split dump? ie, requires a retune?

Cheers

EDIT: i currently have a stock dump going into a 3 inch front pipe - 3 inch cat back. very straight thru exhaust. hardly a bend in it, with a cannon on the end.

you wont see anything noticeable b/w front dump and split dump. IMO, and others will agree, either a front/dump in 1 from flyn. or a jjr split front/dump will be exactly the same.

unless ur targeting more than 250rwkw, then either will be ok. if you want more, go a the front/dump in 1 like flyn has.

the longer wastegate sepparation on the split dump design improves power, due to reduction in turbulence at the turbine exit. This is well proven on the GTR, with products like the Trust style setups. The gtst is going to benifit in exactly the same manner. If you look under the forced induction 'guide' sticky there is a back to back dyno of the improvement on a fairly stock gtst, as proof if you need it. The theory is sound enough however.

I recently aquired a JJR split pipe for my stagea (Rb25det), it needed a die grinder to clean up the alignment of the flange. IT was cheap so some elements of it's finish are what you expect for the price.

I usually heat wrap the pipe. Be sure to do it properly, with even overlap of the tape. DEI make a tape that has a line marked on it as a guide.

There was alot of discussion about this a few years ago when BATMBL introduced his pipes into the market and was competing against CES... as rev210 said the longer wastegate separation the less turbulence.

I currently run an apexi front pipe and stock dump. Wouldnt mind changing over to a BATMBL pipe when I put my new turbo on though....

thanks for the replies

i'm still tossing up whether to keep my current 3inch front, and just add the split dump to it.

but after some more research, it would seem that to gain most benefit from a split dump pipe, the split should be a minimum of about 40cm before joining back to the main pipe. so i guess a split dump/front pipe is the way to go.

Make sure 100000% it is...coz my friend's joins almost instantly (shit custom job) and now he has a brand new engine...cooked. (couldnt lower boost in the run in period). Otherwise, if done properly, i personally think they are the way to go.

guess he drove with his foot down too far then! :(

This is my opinion only but I reckon you lose a bit of convienence if the dump/engine pipe is in one piece . The turbine housing outlet/dump pipe bolts can be a pain to work around in situ and I have to wonder if removing a turbo with the dump attached would be easier . You can get at the fasteners easily enough once the turbos been removed .

Also if you needed to remove the engine pipe alone for some reason its very easy to drop- it off the bottom of a conventional dump pipe .

All up to you guys but making things straightforward to work on saves knuckles and time in the long run .

Thoughts ? Cheers A .

I reckon you have a good point. But I think most people when they were shopping for exhausts like I was too at one stage, only thought about the 'fit and forget' side. I haven't had to remove mine again thankfully.

But if your going to be removing and refitting the exhaust on a regular basis, having a separate dump to front pipe certainly would be more convenient.

Getting to a couple of the bolts on the back of the turbo are a bit hard to get to but they're not impossible. Having a friend on hand is a must whether its a separate dump or not & it makes things a lot easier.

I would agree that removing the turbo would make it heaps easier to remove the dump, but it then involves removing more things in the engine bay, like undoing the turbo to exhaust manifold bolts, water line, oil line, hot intercooler piping, pod/airbox, intake pipe and afm.

By the time you've had all that off, you could've removed the the heat shield and O2 sensor and dump & front pipe.

It's not a bad idea, but it just depends on the cars duty's as to what you use.

Cheers.

so u saying an extremly small dump pipe wotn effect boost ?

*should have probably mentioned his injectors were f**ked :(

You say that the small dump pipe meant your friend was unable to 'turn down the boost' during his run-on, and in turn this is his excuse for blowing up his engine. This is one of the most ridiculous comments I have ever read on SAU.

Blaming an undersized dump pipe for overboosting and blowing up a new engine............. :laughing-smiley-014:

Sounds like your friend leaned out his motor, either due to an injector problem, poor tune or too much boost - This has nothing to do with his split dump pipe and is completely irrelevant to this thread.

Who said i/he was entirely blaming the dump pipe ? I just said it played a part in stuffing up boost levels and as well as his injectors weren't too good causing, like you said, the motor to lean out and go bang.

And no he wasnt giving it too much, it was still in the run in period (obviously gave it a bit sometimes, but not constantly).

So its pretty much what you said, too much boost, shit injectors....How is that the most stupid comment ever made on SAU ?

      Take a couple of the big ones back to "work", leave them in the big bin.   Will make a good boom when the garbage truck emptys it out... I've heard from another source about the boom when they had put I believe it was a 4cylinder engine in the big bins at Richmond base...

      That idea has crossed my mind, I do a 5km walk everyday, this does take me past some bushland......I think you may be onto something 😉  That, plus 1 rock on every bin night might do the trick, it may take a year, but it could save me a couple of grand The only issue is the big 'Boonies", I have a few that weigh around 30-40kg, maybe they should be the first to go into the raised garden bed,  and then let the next owner deal with them....my daughter gets the joint when I kick the bucket, mums the word mate......LOL Noice......

      You're retired Mark, on bin night, go for a walk, kind of like you're doing the beep test. Put one rock in the first neighbours, come back, get another rock, go to the second neighbours, repeat over many weeks. All rocks eventually gone...

      No chop chop of anything mate, it is what it is, plus, I don't want any air that isn't either going through the cooling stack or intake getting into the engine compartment increasing under bonnet pressure  Yeah, the Mazda Speed aftermarket intake above is less than ideal for multiple reasons, the requirement to remove the bumper every time you need to service the filter, and also smaller in diameter than the NC1 OEM one Weirdly, Mazda Speed is part of the Mazda motorsport division, "form over function" and $$$$$ for Mazda from unsuspecting punters I suspect  After some googling about them it seems they added no power, but do increase some induction noise Meh In other news, the electricians have been busy today at the house, and are back tomorrow finishing up all the security stuff and exterior lighting, they also added some lighting on the garage ceiling, which will come in handy when working in the garage when it's not freezing out there My Birdies raised garden bed also arrived today as well, which I'll put together and place tomorrow, it's a big tall Bessie, 74cm high, 92cm wide and 214cm long, this will come in handy as I am starting to get "stockpiles" of good soils from doing landscaping, some of the clean rock, namely the river stone, will go into the bottom of the bed for drainage, as well as the old Apricot tree that was out the back,  and when it's full, I'll grab another one, I will be growing enough veggies to keep me both busy as well as supplementing the shopping list I'm also awaiting another quote for a new Colourbond front fence, as the "1980 style cemented in rock edging" that was there and "fashionable at the time" looked arse, and my god, the amount of cement used to fix the rock was insane, it took 1.5 days for me to break out 12 meters of the stuff by hand, trim the bushes back to the fence line and dump it out the back of the joint to deal with at a later date,I will soon need a skip bin to tip it all Unfortunately they did alot of the cemented in rock around the joint, which I hate, so a few pallets of retaining wall blocks for around the front and back where the cemented in rock is will be required to bring it up to a standard, and look, that I will be happy with 12 meters worth of rock and cement Finished smashing the fence line and ready for a fence to be installed, yes, the lawns need some TLC and thickness, the previous owner trimmed the grass to the roots 😢, the TLC I can provide, and nature over time will do the rest And there's probably about another 40 meters worth of this landscaping abomination left to do around the front and back gardens, I'm guessing maybe 3 or 4 tons worth, tip fees for this will be a killer Meh, all in all I'm having fun and keeping busy, plus, it's good PT
