HI ,

After reading back threads, I am considering getting front pipes for a GTR, but wanted advice from those that have whether doing the dump at the same time was justified.

1. Front pipes ~$400 - 800

2. Dump ~$ 600 x 2 :eek:

Q1. Bang for the buck the pipes seem to be better, but I need someone to tell me that the dumps made a huge dif compared to the pipes only.

Q2. Anyone had a custom all-in-one system done in Sydney?

Q3. Brands / prices / pipe sizes recommended ?

Thanks

Ned

PS I am looking for it to help spool up the T faster, and gain low / mid range power:aroused:

I can answer the first question.. anyway the original dump pipe is veryy restrictive and poor design as pressure release from the wastegate goes towards a wall. by getting a better flow dump, this will spool the T faster which then travels to the front pipe. I beleive dump will gain more power than the front pipe. hope it helps. :)

do the dump and front at the same time!

no point doing dump and having stock front pipe, coz you would have freed the dump up but then it goes back into the restrictive stock system(front pipe) :)

adrian:p

ned do u have a stock dump ? full stock exhaust ? do u have an r33 gtr ? if yes are u in sydney ? i have never seen a full stock exhaust . i have an r33 gtr and i want to compare my exhaust with a full stock system to see where i can improve it .

HI

Adrian - I was planning on the front pipes, and then deciding to o both or just the front, never considered Dump with stock pipes for the good reasons you gave!

I had a tuning shop tell me that the pipes were an easy change (DIY??), but that the dump was a cow to change.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
