I have a GTR r33.

Im looking for some new dumps.

They all look very much the same to me...

Is there any major differances between the major brands eg trust, Hks, Tomei etc?

Is it worth getting one over another?

Im going to get a set of 2860s turbos of some description to go wid the dumps

I have the tomei ones they look awesome, if they work half as good as they look it will be good, fit perfect also. I picked them up for 600 for the pair new. I dont like the HKS split ones (or their copies) as the main feed it too small in my opinion and the single large dump works better.

I too like the Tomei ones

Stock ones are pretty good (in fact - really good) - not too keen on the HKS ones.

Apparently Nismo make a cast 1 piece one as well - $$$$ I am guessing.

Also there is HPI - though they look pretty similar to tomei...

Yer i like the Tomei ones, they look hot shame u cant see them lol

600 good price to!

there are plenty of choices. The stock dump pipes are restrictive and the exhaust housing of the turbo often has overlap on the dump flange making it really need a good port matching.

Hard to go wrong except for the el'cheapo china units. They often need work to align the flanges and as a result may bolt on and actually perform worse than stock.

Hpi, mines, tomei, oodles of choices. Look around for second handies for the bargain buys, as long as it is made of decent stainless and the flanges are true you can't go wrong.

I picked up a set of mines dumps and apexi front, all second hand stanless for 400 delivered. Might not be as nice as a new shiny pipe, but how long is your new shiny pipe going to look that way? I can't even see any of it so looks don't matter much.

I dont see the point in the tomei units...fair enough they look mint. Who here is using them with a twin 3inch into one front pipe? Cos if youre not theres no point in having a dump with a 3inch outlet....

Just buy the Just Jap split stainless dumps. A bit less turbulence that stockers in the gate pipe and same 2.5 inch outlet, same size as most aftermarket front pipes. Makes perfect sense. The JJ ones fit perfectly too.

Dont buy ebay ones. They dont fit. Theyre a throwaway. Tried myself LOL.

Oh, and the tomei manifolds look mint too. But the cast stockers match ported do the same job and are half the price at the end of the day. And stronger. And wont ever crack.

The JJ ones are shite. And will be worse than stock if you aren't bothered to check the matching of the flange to the turbos and get rid of the overlaps.

When they do bolt on they have rather crappy flange alignment so unless you like poor flow you get the die grinder out for a few hours. I've now seen enough of these to know quality control is an afterthought.

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
