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.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
