Dump Problem

[NisGTR]

Hi there I was wondering if you peeps could give me some helpful answers.

I just got my X-FORCE dump pipes today, spent pritty much all day getting to the turbos and taking them off to mount on the new dumps, but I’ve come across a problem. The dump pipe is touching the turbo inlet piping on turbo no.2, I was thinking at high temperatures would the inlet melt? I have tried to move the turbo as much as I could away from it but still pritty close, its still giving me a 1-2mm clearance. what’s my way around this?

thanks..

They are larger then the stock ones, because it’s the twin design with the separate waste-gate design

Mate maybe speak to the people that sold you the dumps see what they say.I think it should have more

clearance than that.A option rap the dumps in heat rap tape this will avoid burning any thing, they will glow

red hot after a few laps around a track.One thing I have found is that nothing is a bolt on fit you always

have to mod it to fit properly.Good luck

When i got my X force 3.5 inch system i had it installed by a reputable installer and the dumps and front pipe where not correctly made to measure, as in it was only 1 or 3mm away from the chassis rails and i would hit for sure. Also where the dumps bolt to the turbos because of the tight tolerances when trying to bolt the exhaust on there was alot of pressure on them which would mean with the bumps etc the gaskets would eventually leak gas out, everything was just to tight a fit. So they just cut and angled the front pipe a little to clear away from the chassis rails and that in turn made alot less tension on the exhaust system. Shit you dont want a flange leak its hard enough to do a exhaust dump pipe change as it is, that was the only problem i came across, i even rang up X force and they wouldnt agree but DID not disagree, i was easy to see, did that and have never had a problem with it and i have had it on now for 8 months and drag raced the crap out of my gtr and its still perfect with plenty of clearance.
