Hi All,

I'm after a bit of guidance. I have a 3" cat back exhaust and want to get the remainder of the exhaust system upgraded.(the dump pipe) I have found two different styles, both say they are direct bolt up. I'm still running stock turbo on my R34 GTT coupe. One style is a 'bellmouth' where the wastegate is included in the pipe and goes all the way down. The second is with the wastegate pipe being separate from the turbo pipe and rejoining the dump pipe further down. Take a look at the pics and if you could advise which one would be better and what the differences in the two would be. I have found that the bellmouth tends to be cheaper than the other style.

Cheers,

Steve

It helped, boost tailed off less with the bellmouth...but still happened.

LOL that bellmouth you've got a pic of is actually on my car right now...may swap back to the CES split though if there aren't any takers, also throw the stock turbo back on and see how I go :S

    • I am probably calling this too early but I think I found what part of my problem is. I have a couple of dents that are fairly close to each other and I tried to fix them individually. Recently I put one larger coat across all the dents and sanded it and for the first time ever it's all even except for the edge where the bare metal is, I just need to put some putty there. I'm ordering some better longer blocks that are more flexible. Other good news is that the other repairs on my panel are flat even with the guidecoat. It's these 2 dents which are an absolute c*nt l lol.
    • Murray will have better input, but I'd be going with less filler, and aimed at the low spots mainly, and hence won't need as much sanding, which then means get the guide coat on earlier. That's how I'd do it, BUT, I'm not a pro, I'm a DIY hack who will then get the shits halfway through, and have one spot awesomely repaired, and the other spots look like a 3 year old was left unsupervised with workshop tools...
    • Where is the most common place to locate it? Disappointing that Garrett won’t make a fitting for it since they know everyone will use it
    • A HICAS fault really should not cause the engine to go into limp mode. These cars are so old that the systems barely talk to one another. The thump might be the lockoff solenoid valve for the HICAS (the safety valve) getting closed, to lock the rear wheels "straight". I say "straight", because when my HICAS used to shit itself before I took off and nuked it from orbit, it would lock up with the rear wheels wildy non-straight and you'd need 45° of steering wheel to drive straight. Take off and nuke it from orbit. First step is to pull the smaller of the two plugs out of the HICAS CU. See if it stops misbehaving. You can also (whilst leaving it plugged in) try to get the HICAS CU into diagnostic mode by doing the pedal dance, or by connecting a CONSULT capable diagnostic reader into the car and seeing what it has to say for itself. Can't do either of these with it unplugged though. 1st gen HICAS is a ballache. I would do a complete delete. I did do a complete delete.
