hey guys, does anyone know wot the power gain is in gettin a dump/front pipe and a high flow cat in a r33?? Atm i get 170rwkw i dont have a front mount yet, and is it safe to get a dump pipe even if i dont have a front mount??

cheers michael

hey that will be a awesome mod....i made 180 rwkw on 7psi and all i had was split dump, highflow car and 3.5" trust cat back.....sounds nice and yes its worth it and its safe even without a front mount....but once you get a front mount you car will run a lot cooler and better

Installed dump pipe (3" bellmouth, just jap SS $220), basic hi-flow 3"cat, SITC and R34 GTT 'cooler

had a 20awkw gain from 140awkw to 160awkw

already had fuel pump, adj.fpr, safcII, 12psi, that netted me 20awkw at the previous tune from 120 to 140awkw

IMO the r34 coolers arnt worth an upgrade over the r33, better off getting a proper front mount (you dont need to go massive).

the r34 cooler stayed on for less than half a year. using a return feed apexi fmic from a 180sx now along with a hiflow turbo, z32afm for 180awkw 14psi

dump pipe and good hi-flow cat will net 20rwkw

get it tuned right tho with each mod as you go along on the mod journey...

Finallyyyyy got my dump/front pipe and high flow cat done today, along with just the usuals, car sounds a fair bit meaner and the whistling is Alottt louder and comes in earlier than before :) , even tho i have a stock BOV and just an apexi pod i have been pulled over twice and tried to b defected and i keep telling em its all stock.......shits mee! And just my luck the dyno had a problem today so they were unable to tune it and stuff, goto love the timing :) . keep u guys posted on the total rwkw gain, really hard to tell just by driving it.

if you have same mods as me then you should be looking at a good 175-180rwkw.....and yes its a whole lot better now that you have aftermarket dump and cat as it will be more free flowing

    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
