Xforce Gtr Dump Pipes For Rb26dett

[nsta]

As per title, are the xforce downpipes for the rb26dett engine any good quality, i can get a pair cheap, and was told the orignal items are very restrictive.....also, i have some n1 turbos, would these bolt up direct without any modifications???

thanks in advice...

no idea about the xforce dumps, but yes the original dumps are terrible (esp in an r32) and n1 turbos bolt up the same way as stock.

ive got x-force dumps on GT2860-5's fits like a dream

[Bumblebee]

if it further helps ontop of boosted_r32's comment... i had a set of xforce extractors on my civic... and they fit perfectly.

Everything was perfect from O2 sensor location to original bracket locations.

and the difference they made... well worth money spent! im sure the dumps are gonna be just as good!

Heaps of people using them in even more than the norm setups.

No problems, good product for the price

Leave it to a workshop, it is a very tedious job.

I have them on 2860's and they fit great, just be sure that you install them on the engine that you put the shorter dump at the rear and the longer dump to the front.

Hoist

Lots of tools

Full day if you've never done it before

You gotta pull the rear dump etc off, then the rear turbo, then the front dump, put the dump on and re-assemble.

You can do it on a trolley jack, but it takes forever as you have to go from over/under the motor on many occasions.

Simply put, if your not a good hands-on person, a GTR dump swap out is a workshop job as it’s a fair mongrel of a job.

Once you've done it a few times you can peg it back to a few hours, but you wont do it in a few hours off the bat IMO

Im about to put my turbos back on with X-force dumps. Thing is.. it doesnt look like my exhaust pipe from the dumps to the cat will line up with the x-force at all.

Anyone else have this prob?

Im pulling off stock turbs with stock dumps and the pipe is a 3-inch something or other. I assume its also stock

[johnbarry88]

honestly its easier to pull the whole f**ken engine out and change them that way

I know this probably aint the forum for this response but.... Christian, have you received my PM's????

[nsta]

to r31 gagz, were you running stock or aftermarket dumps?, and are adj cam gears more worthwhile than cams?i want close to what you have on a safe tune...oh and were you using power fc d-jetro, or just normal? we got a good tuner here,and im about to buy an aftermarket ecu....

thanks.

im currently changing my dump in my gtr as well. however i couldnt get it right. the problem is when i compare the stock front and rear dump pipe, they are in fact not the same shape. but the stainless pair i have just bought is in the same shape. the stainless pair is identical. does this sound right? or are they supposed to be different in shape (the aftermarket ones)? the problem im facing now is the rear dump pipe is in the way of the gearbox housing.

when i look closer to the stock manifold i can see that they are not the same too. is that right? if yes does that means im having this problem now becoz i put the rear manifold on the front and vise versa?

plz help guys. any info would be appreciated. thanks

[Duncan]

well you are half right. dump pipes are different front to rear but the manifolds are the same. If both dump pipes are the same there is a problem.

I had a really crap set of ebay pipes recently that also fouled on the gearbox. very frustrating they were on and off about 5 times to be modified, grinding the end off studs, bashing the wastegate pipe to clear the rear intake etc etc.

[Eliack]

thanks for the clear up. i think im in need of another set of dump then. and its also good to confirm that the manifolds are the same. thanks again
