Hey guys,

Just a simple little question... gotta HKS 25/40 being installed on my R33 and just contemplating the idea of the screamer pipe...

I had one a while back also on an R33 and sounded wicked under full throttle but really ghey at half throttle.. like an exhaust leak... Just wondering since a HKS 25-40 is obviously laggier than a stock r33 turbo will the crappy exhaust leak noise be minimised at half throttle as it wouldnt spool up as easy/earler as the HKS turbo..??

Thanks!

they sounds pretty lame on any internal gate turbo in my experience. and will always be leaking some gas as it's nigh on impossible to really seal one up as the turbo oulet flange is not designed for that.

Just so you realise the screamer will be VERY loud. I had one for a while but i got rid of it as it was just too loud for me and i love things ear piercingly loud. I once overtook a car with both windows down and the sound rebounding into the car was crazy loud.

You guys probably just havnt heard many screamers done PROPERLY on internal gate turbos.. mine sounded ***** wicked on my old 33 with a 3inch & no cats, 12psi, power fc etc. Only time it sounded ghey was at half thottle.. sounded like a bit of a tractor..

But im thinking with an aftermarket turbo like a HKS 2540 the gate doesnt open as early/easy as it does on a standard turbo so i shouldnt hear much of that tractor noise...

can anyone confirm this?

I think we have just heard to many bad examples of home made screamers on stock R33's etc running near stock boost on standard turbos..

We'll see how it sounds on mine running 16psi on the 2540, plus im now running GTR rods so ill be getting more RPM too :)

an extra 500rpm still makes me happy :)

oh well, we'll see how it sounds on mine. As long as i dont get the tractor noise at half throttle ill be happy, cos the rest sounds good.

Hmm... I'm a wierdo... my BOV is plummed back with a bigger pipe to make less sound... My 3" exhuast isnt the quietest but it sounds like a fart can on an excel when idling and mid revs is just a drone.... sounds fugn aces with WOT.... like an old 70's turbo F1 car only way not...

AND...

I f..g love it.

trust me... any extra noise you get in your car will only serve to shit you in the long term.... specially if you cruise any distance.... unless you can tune it out....

Oh yea... I don't get a second look from police unless their in the mood to make trouble for anyone in particular...

      Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.

      Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.

      Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?

      1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
