Just have a split-dump made, and dont plumb the wastegate pipe in... and thats that.

Although, its going to sound exceptionally poor with a small turbo/internal gate.

It will also most likely leak at idle aswell, so ye. Go for your life, just dont be disappointed when its not what you expect :P

if ur going to use it on a internal gate turbo its going to sound like a big exhaust leak

It will have a small exhaust leak sound at idle but when the car comes onto boost........WOW its REALLY LOUD.

Greenline have nightpager screamer pipes listed

If the exhaust/wastegate is designed well and works (flows), a screamer offers nothing but noise. No performance gain what so ever

so ur saying a almost instant free flowing wastegate will produce no advantages? i get this by basicly comparing it to a 1inch pipe that ports back into the exhaust. there defiently would be restrictions there???

i woulda thought it would at least defiantly hold boost better.

again correct me if im wrong.....

so... how is a screamer dump pipe different to a dump pipe??? i take it a dump pipe pushes wastegate gases through the exhaust system and the screamer pipe will blow it directly into atmosphere, which would make more power and noise but would be illegal... is that right

ive got a few mates with screamer dump pies the worst part about them is the exhaust leak on idle once you get going the leak is hardly noticable but when the internal gate open the sound is quality!

I have an external wastegate HKS. I had a screamer pipe and sounded really loud. I felt like I am looking for trouble plus...was all noise, was so loud you had to back off the accelerator after 6psi boost. I had made a new downpipe and plumed in. Noise gone and car runs much better.

Now I go close to 20 psi sometimes(instance). I think is cool to have performance no noise. If you look for noise take your exhaust off...will be same thing!!!! I don't think you gain any power. I lost nothing pluming in!

Just a thought, you can ignore it!!!

Eug.

As i said before.

If the exhaust is free flowing enough, then it wont make a difference.

Having a dump (with a int gate feed/split dump) or screamer is no different really.

The air is physically still coming out of the same wastegate hole size, that doesnt change. So i cant see how its going to affect boost pressure when the gate size doesnt change, not the air passing by it.

do screamer pipes on ext wastgates have any effect on performance?

Definitely. The gas going out the gate doesn't go through the exhaust -

more "space" for the gas spinning the turbo (basically, any time the

gate is open there is less backpressure than there would be with a

plumb-back).

Also, the bled gas is only pushing against atmospheric pressure, not

what's already in the exhaust (basically, a given gate size can bleed more

gas; or same gas at lower duty cycle; or smaller gate can handle same

bleed requirement to maintain boost).

correct me if im wrong but dont screamer pipes spool quicker and hold boost better

won't spool quicker (the gate has no effect till it's opened).

Might hold boost better where the gate is too small - a plumbed-back gate will be

able to bleed off less gas than the same size gate opened to atmosphere. Better

to get the right-size gate.

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
