Just thought it would be good to share with my fellow fabricators my custom long split dumps for my GTR.

Basically i though f**k paying almost a grand for trust extended dump and front kit, ill make my own!

In a nutshell, I started off with some Just Jap stainless dumps, chopped the gates off and extended them, welded up the holes in the main pipes where the gates used to plumb back in.

I bought some stainless 1.5 inch mandrel bends and chopped and used those to make the gates.

brilliant. I was just about to start on exactly this job since they've just change our race regulations to free exhaust systems. We'll run similar setup except keep front and rear turbo exhaust seperate as well - so 4 pipes straight out the side.

the thing that worries me most is clearance putting the motor in since ours comes in and out all the time :cheers: and physical space for the pipes, especially the front one.

what diameter is the wastegate pipe? 1inch?

Duncannnn! :blush:

nice pipes. never been a big fan of the HKS style dumps as they have 2 pretty small pipes. I'm converted to the big bell mouth dump which lets the gas expand as much as possible as quickly as possible, but yours look like they will work well. :D

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
