I changed my dump and front pipes together left the cat stock , felt tonnes better back in the day it sounds nicer and you can feel the difference, 20rwkw difference then I changed my cat later and scored 5 more!

If your doubting what everyones saying just give us the keys to your car and $1000 we'll modify it for you not some backyard mechanic. (better us than a mechanic like that)

1000 =

Stainless dump and front pipes + cat fitted

Food for us all

Petrol

Maybe a cheap set of rear rubbers to prove the difference ^_^

Anyone wanna modify it for him?

Thanks but.....NO thanks :(

I'm not doubting....i just wanted to know the benifits of fitting a 3" bell mouth dump ALONE!?!

SIGNIFICANT

do the front pipe too.

So far 9 out of 10 people say fitting a dump pipe will give gains BUT.... i noticed that along with changing the dump,most ppl also changed the cat,front pipe or the complete exhaust at the same time.

I already have a 3" cat-less exhaust from the stock dump pipe back.What kind of gains will i experience if i go with a bell mouth dump? Also all these dump pipes u guys are referring to are 3" right?

considering you dont have a cat the dump/front is the last restriction in your exhaust!

purchase a JJR Bellmouth, as i did, and be happy!

Just thought i'd throw this in.....

When i originally put the 25det (tranny) in my C35 it had only the stock dump and front pipe. I drove it 2 days like this and then fitted a 3" exhaust from the stock dump with a resonator and barrel, no cat.

With nothing else being done, it pulled considerably better in the midrange with the exhaust fitted, as before it was just feeling flat.

Alot of ppl here mentioned turbos don't like restriction .....so how come after fitting an exhaust with a resonator my car felt better?!?

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
