This is what I should have been inquiring about last week not the BATAMBLE one . I found CES's site but no mention of Skyline front pipes . I'll have a look in the group buy section and if thats no good then a good pre loved one would be fine if anyone's selling one .

Cheers A .

Go with with CES, Trevor has proven power figuers 20kw just from a dump pipe on a gtst or gtt!! i'd like to see a bell mouth do that.. How many people here that say don't use CES have used there products. Forcing the wastegate and exhaust together straight out of the turbo creates turbulance...

Anyway just give Trevor a call and tell him what you want you won't regret it trust me the change was the best thing i did with my R34, more power then most with the same mods and more Boost.

Good Luck

Yes they cost more than some but the best is never cheap :banana:.... (but money should be nothing when it comes to pride and joy + performance) Well worth it for a wicked wastgate sound and performance you can feel... Also their full systems have the most power for a STREET LEGAL exhaust on the market.

He is one of the best and ships world wide, also has the best street legal Subaru exhaust with the biggest gains.

CES have a fine product.

Have you back to back tested them against a bellmouth??

The increase in turbulence when the wastegate cracks is balanced by lower turbine outlet pressure, there isn't much to be gained or lost but my experience is that a good bellmouth makes a bit more power earlier and cost a bucketload less.

that's a very interesting mentality.......

I find that alot of these "top quality" parts are way overpriced and often a cheaper option can be used to obtain 99% of the result.

Done back to back with CES and Decent bellmouth types and found ZERO difference.

Fair enough then if you have done back to back runs... But was it a full CES exhaust and was the other exhaust 100% STREET LEGAL like the CES?

Like i did say above there are other exhaust that are just as good and better but most are not legal or even close.. I guess you go with what you think is the best at the time and i just stick with Trevor because on any car his product is alway tops and good power and sound without the worry of getting a defect for it..

:P

    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
