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..

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.

      Could you modify this duct so instead it pushes the extra air through the radiator too and not down and out? For temps, I know it's not the greatest idea, but as a bit of a last resort, you could use a very intermittent misting spray onto the front of the coolers/rad. You don't want to be soaking them such that water is dripping off, but a small most on/off so that the water evaporates. That point of it constantly evaporating, rather than being soaked in water, will pull a LOT of heat out of the cooler. I'm literally thinking just the little mist sprayers for a garden from Bunnings. Being in a low humidity climate it will help even more! The other trick if you want to be ghetto is some shade cloth hung in the opening, and keep it wet. Pretty much now it's acting like an evap cooler on a house, but cooling the air you need to use to cool the radiator...   On a topic to think about too though, when air enters through the bumper, is it all nicely ducted from the edges of that opening back at a nice angle, or is it like most cars, and the edge of the opening just stops, and suddenly it's wayyy wider behind that? If it does the later, get it shrouded out at nice angles. When that opening changes too rapidly, it can actually cause a high pressure zone between the front bar and radiator, and limit air flow into that area, which means less air for cooling, as it effectively stalls the air, AND adds to drag...

      It doesn't look like there's a lot of options out there these days, and what's out there is performance oriented aftermarket stuff (with the GTR markup) I wonder if there are other cars with similar springs, after all its just a matter of length, diameter and stiffness. Alternatively, I did see coil spacers. Probably not the best option, but could be serviceable too.
