Bnr32 Dump Mods

[nuclear_skyline]

Hi guys,

I have been searching and searching and looking some more for a set of dumps for my gtr. I am doing the turbos in the next few weeks (most likely finishing up in the next 2 months) and cannot find any decent dumps...

I am not chasing huge power - max 250rwkw as it is a street car and I want to keep high levels of reliability in it. I have been looking at Tomei, HKS and HPI dumps but all are going for circa $1k - well above what I want to spend on dumps at this stage.

Question is - has anyone tried opening up the standard r32 dumps by porting? Is there such a huge difference between the r32 and r34 dumps (well enough that it couldnt be remedied with some hours with a die grinder? I have no qualms taking to them with a die grinder and have done basic port matching before.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Factory R34 dumps, even R33 dumps will do 350rwkw without a problem. R34 ones i've seen basically get to 400rwkw without a problem.

R32 are a bit more restrictive, but given the power you want is the same as what stock turbos could do... i doubt you'll get much value of out spending $500+

If anything just get R33 dumps, will cost you what, $50 and no time taking meat out.

All grinding them is going to do is weaken them anyway.

I run factory R33 dumps with my HKS GT-SS, make 280rwkw @ 15/16psi with response/results exactly idential to those with big aftermarket items fitted.

Cheers Nismoid - just the advice I was looking for... Simply means one less thing I need to chase down...

What turbos are you putting on?

Steel wheeled factory?

Indeed. I have bought one of the kits of ebay and will rebuild them myself and then have them professionally balanced.

I know its not the best option compared to say a set of -9s, but it'll be a good experience and suit the amount of power I am looking for.

You Sir Steve are a scholar and a gentleman.

How is the paint prospects coming along?

[N1GTR]

Not really, it's all the same as I spoke to you last, it needs to be done but definatly after the upcoming mechanical mods

Also need to get rails for the carbon seat soon too

Awesome. Let me know if you still would like a hand with it.

Cheers will do!

Can you post up your results regarding powe and response.

I have some -5's to install but am just interested in these kits. Seem like a bargain way to do things. How much did balancing end up costing?
