got my new dumps and there is no spilter in them, anyone got any idea why tomei dont run them?

the mines and nismo and midori dumps all run one, which i think is the right way to do it,so im thinking of welding a spilter in them.

im going to be running 25psi with 2860-5s so perhaps there wont be as much gas coming out the internal gate there for a spilter not needed?

any opinions?

Mines also make a non-split dump for the gtr.

Tomei never used a split design, i think its mainly due to the length of the gtr dumps, they are too short and therefore the split causes unnecessary turbulence. Take alook at the Greddy/Trust Dump/ Pipes they are the one of the better split design as the length is alot longer.

edit: Also the Older Tomei design is the largest dia dump pipes for the gtr, the newer design (lost-wax design) is i think 5mm smaller in dia

others here seem to have only good things to say about the tomei dumps so i guess they must work, any idea why tomei done away with the spilter? i cant find any thing on there web site

simply because you don't need a split on a bell mouth style dump, it just takes up useful space.

The only reasonably split dump on the market are Trust split dump/front pipe combo where the split is like 30cm long, not 5cm like HKS as an example.

yep, the benefit of the split wastegate pipe is a bit debatable. having a big bell mouth design means allowing the gas to expand immediately exiting the turbine housing which is great flow velocity and flow. don't modify them. if you really want split pipes just switch to HKS ones and flog the tomeis. personally though I would just stick with the tomei's. :)

Here's an interesting hybrid style dump made in the US. Note the splitter is only about an inch long if that. Basically bell mouth style with splitter to separate wastegate gasses immediately aft of the turbine. Then allows gasses to merge and expand in the main body of the dump.

my garrett 2860-7 turbos (and possibly others too) have this splitter cast into the exhaust housing between the wastegate flap and exhaust turbine.

is this to reduce turbulance ? if so then a spit dump pipe is not needed

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
