ive done a little bit of searching on this however i can only find info on the JJR dump/front pipe not the dump pipe itself. because i have the rb25det in a vl using the standard dump i want to change the dump so i can only use the dump itself not a dump/front pipe.

anyway my question is is there any mods needed to fit the JJR dump pipes i have heard that with most aftermarket dumps the wastegate flap tends to hit the inside of the dump.

before you ask main reason i want to change it is because im looking at using the hypergear ATR43 soon and i also dont run a o2 sensor and sick of the o2 sensor sitting there with no wires. i know you can get bungs but i just want a change.

The JJR dump pipes come with a hole for the 02 sensor too..

I think the newer ones they have resolved the issue of the flapper. Dont quote me though i just havnt seen a thread for a long time with any complaints.

My one fouled, i had it fixed. But then discovered that where the split pipe met the rest of the exhaust, the hole was too small for the gasses and was still causing problems. = Bin.

Either way, you have problems JJR will hook you up :)

Most dump pipes are made for stock front pipes are made for stoc front pipe which has a 2.5inch out let. get the 3inch front pipe and dump in one piece. they are much better option.

liek i mentioned in the first post its in a vl so the front pipe in 3inch custom but it connects to the standard dump so a dump on its own is what i need

i just want a bit of a upgrade/dress up for the dump because the standard cast looks terrible against a black engine bay haha

should i email JJR about it

Just bought a SS 3" bellmouth dump pipe from JJR. Fits straight on. Exactly same style as old one. No issues with flap hitting. I have a Hypergear ATR43SS waiting to go onto my car with this dump...

Should be sweet!

Ill tell you though, the two bolts in the middle are a pain in the ass, especially the one closest to the strut tower. Good luck fitting any f**king tools down there. Seriously, if you can assemble the dump and turbo to each other out of the car do it that way. I done mine under the bonnet, and I could just hear the f**king leak. I tightened it up now and its fine but its a pain doing things the hard way and twice. There is no reason you can't fit it all in as one piece either... That's what Ill be doing when I do my turbo swap.

I've managed to fit my ATR43G3 to the manifold, then fit the dump pipe to the turbo while it's in the engine bay of my R33 S1 (so no ABS unit) without TOO much trouble. It was fiddly as all f**k, though I'd hardly say the dump was the hard part. As I recall, 4/6 bolts could be done from above (though 3 were easy). I'd recommend trying to do as many as you can from underneath the car.

How did you find the whole process? What was the hardest and most frustrating part? Did you change the 4 studs which hold the turbo to the manifold?

How did you find the whole process?

Simple yet difficult. I'm very mechanically minded, just don't have the first-hand experience. Previous times I've removed/fitted turbo was with Pat (Randon_I_Am) helping me out. Unfortunately he couldn't help me the last time I did it, so I had to refit it myself :P after having done it once, if I need to do it again it will be a lot easier. Took me the better part of the afternoon to get everything done, reason below why it took a lot longer than it should though....

What was the hardest and most frustrating part?

Getting the god damned f**king banjo bolt for the factory water line on the block-side to screw into the CHRA. HOLY JESUS. This is why it took me so long, this step took well over an hour inclusive of me taking a break multiple times to avoid raging and smashing something lol.

Oh also as mentioned previously, some of the nuts are just plain stupid. Like 1/8th turns of an open-ended spanner (C-spanner) at a time. Also some other nuts I'd have loved to have a ratched spanner set, though it wasn't as much of a pain.

Did you change the 4 studs which hold the turbo to the manifold?

Negative. Though when the turbo was originally fitted these studs snapped. If this is the first time undoing the nut from these studs, I'd recommend the whole soaking the absolute bejeebus out of them for days in WD40 beforehand. I ended up replacing the entire stock manifold as it would have been cheaper than having the studs removed. I think the replacement manifold I used had 20,000km on it anyway and still had perfect standard studs in it. Having said that, if you get the nuts off fine - I'd consider having a shot at removing and replacing the studs anyway.

    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
