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) :)

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.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
