Most of them, ones already on a car, two are on hold and the rest are still there.

I've now bought one as well to go with the fujitsubo exhaust that has just arrived.All i need to do is get a front pipe with hi flow cat and things will be smooooooth, but hopefully not too loud. :)

Hi Guys

I managed to get access to a hoist and some help (thanks Iain & Ben) on Saturday so decided to install the new dump pipe.

I was fortunate that I was able to talk to Jetwreck who had taken out his turbo himself and could give me some advise on how to get it out. He described working on the turbo and dump like, like working on a ship in a bottle and he is not wrong.

If you want to do this your self you need a hoist. I could not image doing this on the ground.

To get access to the nuts on the top of the dump you will need to.

* unbolt the exhaust from the dump pipe.

* unbolt the tail shaft at the back of the gear box.

* undo the bolts that keep the pipes for the attesa system in place around the tail shaft.

* undo the 4 bolts on the gear box cross member and lower the gear box by about 2-3 inches. (watch the Atessa pipe as you do this)

You will now have a tiny bit of access to the dump pipe but it is still ridiculously tight.

To undo the nuts on the dump pipe you will need a variety of tools from ring spanners to sockets with 1 - 2 uni joints and very long breaker bar.

The bottom nuts are the easy ones but the top 2 on the passenger side are hell.

We got the dump off in 2 1/2 hours.

When you remove the original dump you will need to remove the support bracket on the exhaust end and reuse on the new dump. This support is spot welded to the dump and requires a bit of work to get it off. This bracket supports the exhaust joint and is threaded so the original bolt can be used to join them. With out this support your exhaust will flex.

It took only 1/2 hour to put the new one back in. One thing to be aware of is that the nuts from the factory have a large flange on bottom edge and there are 1 - 2 nuts that need to be replaced with a nut that has little to no flange to fit on the new dump.

The O2 sensor is a bit of a pain to get out and put back in but patience and little hands will do the trick.

Bolt it all back together and you are set. (Iain may be able to post up some pics later on the difference between the 2 pipes)

The results and defiantly one of the best bang for you buck mods. The car feels more responsive to the throttle, is spooling up up earlier in the rev range. I am seeing full boost (14psi) from just over 2500 rpm. The results off the mark are well worth the effort.

The noise of the exhaust is a little louder and the exhaust note is a little deeper. You hear a bit more turbo whistle.

But I am a happy boy with the results. :P

Good job, it sounds nearly as hard as changing the whole turbo, only a few more bolts. :P

Why did the back of the engine have to be dropped? Was this to get to the top nut on the flange?

Yes, if it was not dropped you would really struggle to get to the O2 sensor and the top nut.

I forgot to mention. You should loosen the nuts holding the air box before dropping the gearbox.

Do you know wich car it was on??

Ive just recently got a full system on from West, (which i think is the same dump). Heaps more responsive. 3" pipe, metal cat and twin tip muffler. Cat sits a little bit lower than oem exhaust so i gotta watch those speed humps. Heaps happy with the guys work, it looks mad and has a real nice note. The missus hasnt complained about the noise yet so it cant be to bad!!

Yeah mate, an rx

Beau was telling me about your car this morning and I think there are a few shots of your dump on this thread.

He was saying that the set up on your car was a bit different to mine when he got it, like it as not quite factory and had already had some exhaust changes done.

I got the O2 sensor out from the top, but I had to remove the top stud from the turbo to remove the dump.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
