Hi,

R33 GTR with stock turbos, is it possible to upgrade the stock Dump Pipes without taking out the turbos?

i.e install them from underneath the car? how much should i be looking at for install? Found these and want to stick them on when i tune my car this weekend linky

I heard they offer a big power increase?

Thanks.

Yeah you can!

I did that. Rebuilt my stock turbos and put in new larger diametre dump pipes.

BTW your link is not working.

sorry someone just bought it.. lol

These ones are cheap too though, ebay link doesnt work for some reason? anyway they are "JDM Performance Stainless Dump Pipe-RB26DETT R32 GTR" @ AU $189.00.

did you do it yourself mate? i did my exhuast and front pipes myself at home in my garage, but dont think i could get away with installing dump pipes myself? how much would a mechanic charge for something like this? cheers.

BTW, did you notice a big power difference?

Well I did it at the same time when my mechanic rebuilt turbos, he found a split / crack in the stock dump pipes. So he put new 3 or 3.5" ones in. So it cost me about $5000 = :unsure:

But I don't think it will cost that much to get him to install. Estimate $100 give or take...

It allows the turbos to spool / flow the exhaust fumes a lot better / smoother.

Not sure about the power output as I don't think he dynoed it but the car is running much better cause the stock dumps are very narrow = restrictive.

Guess you can do it yourself, its just a matter of jacking the car up and be able to reach up to the nuts and bolts where the dumps connect to the exhaust manifold.

Cool!

Its a turbo off job for dump fitting, rear one only. Makes it hell easier.

Your looking around 700-1000 for the work

First reply doesn't answer the question really...

And if upgrading dumps, might as well do the turbo's IMO.

So no need to remove anything else, just the bolts and nuts..?

it's a turbo's out job. some might even say engine out really. I don't know of anyone that could replace GTR dumps with the turbos and everything else still bolted in place.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
