Hey All

1st: I am a noob

Could someone give me an idea of a good dump pipe (single or twin), im not going 2 buy a namebrade one as it is 2 much just going 2 get an exhuast shop 2 make me one (was quote $300 for USED HKS and $600 NEW HKS also)

Thanks Mike :headspin:

Allow me.

I did a few searches and the info is there, you just need to look harder. I would call them split dumps but a lot of people call them twin dumps. There's your first point of confusion.

Your exhaust comes out of your turbo and also out of your waste gate. These exit points are a couple of cm from each other and if you have a single pipe dump they are combined right there at that point.

If you use a split you have one pipe for each which join together about 20-40 cms down.

The difference is that with a single pipe, when your waste gate opens, meaning that both exits are being used, there is turbulence created in the pipe thus slowing it down. You want smooth flow.

With a split, they join further down which creates much less turbulence and a smoother flow. the smoother the flow the faster the exhaust gases can escape, hence more power as the engine is less restricted.

How am I doing guys?

hey has anyone dynoed their car before and after putting on a bigger dump pipe?

how much difference in power are we looking at here?

I allready have a 3" front pipe followed by a high flow and a 3" cat back

was wondering if its worth the money to actually install a dump

A 3" split dump will be my next mod, but im weighing up between atmo exhausting screamer pipe and getting a normal plumbed one.

I know the screamer pipes are illegal, but how loud are they really? Do they leak when off boost at all?

i just bought a used stainless split screamer (atmo venting) dump, has seperating partition between the wastegate and exhaust outlets. wastegate pipe is 1.5" and exhaust pipe is 2.5", is that how big it should be??

i havent had it fitted yet, will soon. stock dump is only 2.5" also but that has wastegate gas merged into it.

I did. I found a peak output of 10hp more as well as a midrange improvement and the stock turbo spooled from 2500rpm instead of 3500rpm... worth doing if you plan on keeping the stock turbo. I was until I came across the td06 at a reasonable price :D

    • Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?
    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
