Dose pipe is a metal pipe between the AFM and the turbo inlet. This pipe helps flutter sound louder with no enhancement. Wank factor

Screamer pipe is the wastegate gasses escaping to atmosphere rather than into the exhaust. On a very highly boosted engine may show some advantages (not sure on this) but just creats very loud whooooshing sound... again, bit of wank factor

Note: the description of wank factor is my opinion, others may like it :)

hey guys,

sorry to be soo god damn noob but can someone give me a basic explanation of what these two things do, how they are beneficial and why or why not you think their cool etc etc

thank you in advance,

p.a

haha thanks alot for the explanation Lee :)

where or how can i get a dose pipe for my 33, just for the 'wank factor' :)

thanks again!

Mate.

It's not called a DOSE PIPE.

Its just a Cold Air Intake pipe. Nothing special.

You arent a VL CALAIS TURBO owner buddy.

Just go to any exhaust place or Performance shop and they should have some 3" stainless pipe you can buy and a silicon hose for your inlet pipe.

Yeah go to any exhaust place and they can make them up, theres nothing wrong with metal intake pipes......there def a good upgrade because they replace the stock rubber intake pipe which can get sucked close with higher boosted cars and anyways you only get the flutter sound if you block the bov or don't run one at all.

if you want to do stuff like that go and see mark at exhaust technology screamer pipes are loud and dont really work on R33 but for R33 you could just get a extearnal waste gate it sounds sort of the same

does the cold air intake/hot pipe enhances ur air flow? because the stock rubber one is not as good say as a stainless steal pipe?

i wouldn't say enhance, but the steel would be better because it doesn't restrict your air intake by sucking in like the rubber does. same shit for low boost cars though.

there's always the silicone type: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/t176294.html

and if you're going to block the bov to get the 'dose', you're probably going to have idle probs too.

get a proper bov imo.

Screamers are only good with an external wastegated turbo and they are sexual trust me.

2nd that call......

I've heard screamer pipes on an internally gated turbo and they sound shiate....Sound like a big exhuast leak

yo bud :D

set up properly a 'screamer pipe' on internal wastegate can sound the same as a 'screamer pipe' which is the pipe used off a external gate, the reason y external gates are used are because the turbos they are used on have to big a exhaust wheel in the turbo housing there for there is no room for a internal gate in the housing. also ppl run gates as there controller big HP drag cars in japan dont run boost controller just a certain 'wieght' spring in their external gates, bu like shane said there alot of the cheap bolt on screamers thats sound like a wet fart or excel :P

I think what Dan was meant to say, is screamer pipes sound good when there is no exhaust leak.

It doesn't matter if its internally gated or not, for the sound to be isolated you need an external waste gate or a better split dump pipe. you can buy the appropriate dump pipe for about 400 dollars and it sounds identical to a ext. gated one.

    • Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?
    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
