Anyone have a screamer pipe??

[Lozza150]

Is it possible to fit these to a Stock Turbo.....

Does it aid in performance.....

Where did you buy it from....

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Yeah, my mate has one on his stock turbo. Doesn't do much for performance, and sounds a little gay with the stock turbo in my opinion.

I'm having a proper 45mm External gate put on my GT30 this week, should sound wicked.

[T88 ON BOARD]

I've Got one Greddy Gate..With my T88 KIT...Never heard one on a stock turbo must sound gayish lol

[APA]

sounds like shit, leaks on idle

LOL @ Adrian, With those words you'll have no problems selling it:bahaha: I'll let you listen to a real screamer once mine is done:D

[Lozza150]

Thank's guy's.... ill wait till i upgrade the turbo.....

[Steve]

Got a screamer by accident, I wanted plumback. It will be getting fixed thank god it is too farken loud, just cop bait:)

Luckily, I have already opened it up next to coppers going the other way (also got a bit sideways) and they didnt turn around, but its only a matter of time.

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Don't be soft Steve, just tell them it's a backfire if they ask:D

[EVOIV]

Yeah, nothing beats the sound of a barking wastegate. Even if cops are around, just make sure you don't thrash the car to full boost. Or, just raise the boost to 2bar and you'll hardly ever hear the open wastegate

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Hmm, don't think the stock RB25 will handle 2bar just yet:D

[adam 32]

i dont think theyre the best for street use, i vented mine to atmosphere for about a week and then got sick of it.

no-one really knows what the sound is so it doesnt sound cool, just really loud haha

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Adam, My car is called the Truck anyway, I'll just make it louder:p

[EVOIV]

The only problem with having a larger turbo with open wastegate is that you hardly ever hear the BOV anymore. That's what happened to me. When the turbo spooled up it was quite a loud high pitched whistle, then the wastegate would open and that's all you heard. The exhaust also became a lot louder on idle. I don't find these noises annoying, but what is annoying is having an external fuel pump. They are so noisey, and a constant buzzing which gets annoying after a short while. In summer it seems to work harder and get louder. Much better intank.

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Haha, who wants to listen to a BOV when you have a screamer?

[EVOIV]

I actually like the fsshhh of my BOV. At one stage the car was making so many noises: Exhaust, external fuel pump, BOV, turbo whistle and open wastegate. Just like an orchestra But now that my car has had its stock turbo put back on, it's a lot quieter and I can hear the BOV - which is a nice change

What BOVs do people have? I have the BLITZ one and I think it sounds sweet. I was going to go for the HKS one but I thought it was a bit too high pitched for me. Does anyone have the GReddy/TRUST one? How's that?

[GTS-t VSPEC]

I have the Blitz one too.

Why did you go back to the stock turbo?

[Lozza150]

I have the older Blitz one (compared to the new one) fitted to my Skyline...

only running stock boost...so it's not very loud....

[EVOIV]

Because the manifold keep cracking I bought that second hand and if you've ever seen the walls of the manifold (HKS, stainless steel) it is extremely thin. Only 1-2mm!! It kept on cracking due to the weight of the wastegate (50mm) which is very heavy for such a thin manifold. So I would suggest anyone out there who is bolting an external wastegate to a manifold to make sure it can hold it. Maybe even get a mild steel manifold to save costs and make it thicker and more durable.

Also, I am hoping to sell the car soon and I want to keep the turbo and wastegate for my next car

[GTS-t VSPEC]

EVOIV, That's a bummer. My manifold was made yesterday, it's out of mild steel, for the reasons you outlined.

[2rismo]

Who says no-one knows what they sound like?!?!?

I bar-up chronically when i hear one

First decent one I heard was trying to race Merli in his White gts-t (big mistake) and i had my window down and nearly went deaf!

Then in Brett's weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-mobile i couldn't decide whether i liked the wastegate opening or the rubber frying sounds better?!?!?

I can pick em a mile off now... BOV?!?!? Girl-toy....
