Thanks Disco! Yeah all of that is definitely what I would like to happen, as I completely agree that a separate dump/front is a lot better - only problem is finding one. the only separate dump I could find on JJR (which is as far as I've been able to search so far) is a HPI one for $500 ish...

I won't make any decisions until I've spoke to my tuner and had his advice on what to buy and where from given to me, as the main reason I want something ASAP is so I don't screw him around any more.

I went for the 1 peice SS split dump from AM Performance here in Adelaide. Beautiful, high quality construction and it does not foul waste gate flap and cause boost spiking. I bought his hi flow 3" cat too at around $600 for both from memory.

Do a search on the forums, I don't think Andrew has one unhappy customer. Andrew: 0401865373

A used HKS one would be an excellent option, I saw a few on yahoo japan and local egay lately.

While I do agree with disco to the 2 piece affair, I did just removed my stock turbo and 1 piece dump from my own car. I actually was able to remove the dump quite easily with minimal stress. I simply unbolted it from the cat then unbolted it from the turbo and slid it out. There was no magic to it, it was just a well constructed item that had plenty of access clearance for the dump flange bolts.

And now for a shameless plug: the item is now for sale :touch: I am looking to swap it for a half piece like what came off your car Trozzle. PM me if you want to do a straight swap or even cash your way (depending on quality of your item).

Cheers,

My dump is stock, so I don't think you want it :touch: 2.5" mild steel, seen 17 years of (ab)use

How much would you want for yours? I'd need to get it posted down to Canberra though, so not sure if you're keen to stuff around with that. Also what size is yours and what power you making with it?

I just spoke to the tuner though, he said they'd be fine to source an appropriate part for me if needed. More or less my only concern here is that I don't stuff them around and waste their time. As long as they're happy with what's going on, then I'm happy.

Mine is an 80mm one piece front and dump.

And id be wanting your front pipe, not ur dump pipe lol. The bit that goes from the stock dump to the cat. PM me what size the inlet and outlet is, and I can more than likely post the item to you if we agree to do the deal.

Im wanting a pipe that is 70-80mm at both flanges, no less than 70mm. As stated, PM me.

ah ok. Well if you can hold out a little bit (by all means keep looking for something anyway, don't wait for me) until wednesday when the car will be looked at etc at the workshop, I can tell you if that will work. I will admit, I'm fairly ignorant as to what is ACTUALLY on there, and whether or not the cat is flanged or slip/weld on to the front pipe. Especially considering I thought it had an AM dump, and it's now stock, I'm not making any more assumptions lol.

Otherwise, if it will work with the workshop, and what I currently have in the way of a front pipe is what you're after (3.5", and flanged at the cat - 3.5" flange) I'm keen to do a swap with you.

lol no problem. 3" is actually 75mm and I only need that the flanges are no less than 70mm. My pipe is off the car and I wont be needing it back on any time soon, I dont drive it. No rush.

Ill go down to the post office and ask them about postage, PM me your details for an accurate quote.

This.

Andrew's level of workmanship is mindblowing... he will custom make anything that you request and it will last the life of the car unlike anything in mild steel. AM performance backs all his products and if they ever fail due to workmanship defects he will repair no worries.

Heres a pic of a GTiR kit he makes and sells worldwide. fits in all factory location and clears everything.

Tried calling him but no answer.

Any idea how much I'd probably be looking at for a 3.5" bellmouth dump from him? I'll wait until workshop gives me exact measurements for the flange etc before I go buying anything though.

For the power levels you're seeking I dont think you need a 3.5' bellmouth... Simply get a JJR 3" stainless dump/fornt pipe and bolt the f**ker in place! Worked a treat on my r33 gtst and I was at 235rwkw on 14psi with a lesser turbo than yours without any restriction.

if he doesnt answer the phone he's most likely working.. he's a one man operation atm. leave a sms with him or email on [email protected]

Any exhaust place should be able to make you a 3 inch bellmouth using the flange of your standard dump pipe. That's what they did with mine and it came up a treat, there's nothing that special to dump pipes, in the end it's just a hollow piece of metal (above workmanship does look nice though)! 3" is plenty for what you are after, why give up the backpressure for unnecessary size?

backpressure is never a good thing, the bigger the better when it comes to turbo exhausts, always! Obviously to a point though, a 5" dump isn't going to be of benefit.

Yeah it all makes sense, I just don't want to shoot myself in the foot all because I'm rushing it a little. Thanks for all the advice though, at this stage the JJR one does look to be the most appropriate, as it's cheap, large enough for what I'm after, and bolts right up. Still leaving final advice to tuner of course tho :blush:

As always, thanks again guys :wub:

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.

      Oil pan for RB25DET NEO Stagea "version"

      By Duncan · Posted

      meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)

      I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
