hey got a progress shot of the old wastegate pipe cut and the new ones tacked into place its looking good just going to check fitment cut them down and then weld in a slight bend to follow the line of the front pipe so we don't run any clearance issues, i am also going to have them ceramic coated to help with the heat sink any one that has fitted the Just Jap dumps will know they run awfully close to the inlet of the rear turbo.

i started, turned into being a pain so i just gave up waisted that much time on them couldnt really see the point for minimal to no power gain.

but good luck oh and i had issues with the front dump screamer hitting the rear turbo inlet

yeah that's why we are getting it ceramic coated it touches ever so slightly so i don't want any heat sinking action might have to take a few mm off just to make sure yeah only reason im doing it is because Ive got n1 turbos and for my application they are perfect no need to blow useless amounts of cash on some shit big single setup when response is my main goal so i still wanted the screamer sound and before the flame session about the sound starts ill be the judge when its done and if i don't like ill plumb them back into the exhaust thanks

i will have the pipes back from the ceramic coater on thurs will post some pics up then and i must say the worst part of the job is getting them to seal in the back of the turbo spent countless hours making sure they will not leak and we are also going to run some extremely high temp sealant in the housing to make sure i don't have an annoying exhaust leak sound at idle or increased revs

well i would like external gate but that would mean having a non stock look and i have been trying to make this engine look as standard as possible as i don't need any crap from the police i drive it prob once a week and any thing high mount or manifolds being changed is a dead giveaway that something aint right so this seemed the only way to do it i just wanted the sound to be honest with out the risk and if something does happen then just wack the stock dumps back on and away we go . yeah we made sure they weren't touching but i just did the ceramic coating as a second measure to make sure not too much heat is being transferred to the intake pipe and to surrounding areas of the engine bay im getting a second set of manifold shields done as well im kinda paranoid about the whole heat transfer thing i might try doing up a intercooler water spray kit as well out of alloy piping and a remote bottle in the boot any one done this kinda thing before ???

I did the exact same thing you guys are doing, Just Jap dumps with long splits. I also spent hours making sure there wasnt going to be any leaks. It paid off. I had NO leaks on idle or while revving and they sound absolutely nuts.

I started a thread on it, its title is Custom Long Split Dumps or something of the like, its in this section.

Im now removing them. I have boost creep due to my super-high flwoing HKS dual exhaust, the gasses would rather exit via the turbine rather than the gate...but they worked fine with my 3.5 single, had no creep whatsoever.

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
