An I better of having a new dump and plumbed pipe made? Or bought whatever's easier?

I prefer to have things done properly myself, I don't know much about the pipe work but gauging the last reactions I dont want something "falling off"

The problem you have is that you have a TDO5. So there are no off the shelf dumps available (or, at least, if there are they're nowhere near as common and easy to get hold of as for Hitachi turbos). Which means that you're looking at a custom dump, which just makes it that bit more expensive to get done than buying a cheapy from JJR etc.

My main complaint about the dump and screamer that you have is that the design is woeful (sharp elbow changes of direction, poor welding, what the hel is going on with that screamer just poked in the exhaust housing with no apparent fasteners!!??!!) and will negatively impact on how well the turbo works (will raise boost threshold and reduce total power by some amounts). Nicer dumps are nicer. Plus there is the risk that that screamer might fall out, depending on exactly how it is held in there!

Actually I gues it's just that pipe that needs remaking properly and plumbing into the dump?

Also for now I assume, aslong as it dosnt leak at the outlet, that welding it into the dump will even be enought to make sure it dosnt move anywhere or come away from the turbo, atleast it will be legal for the time being

I think the best way would be to buy a bellmouth dump pipe and fit it yourself. Done and done.

1. It will work

2. Split dump pipes still have that whoosh whoosh sounds with stock turbos that sounds hella ghey - bellmouth do not. Also bellmouth do not have the potential boost control issues inherent to the split dump design.

Theirs no point I. Making a new topic.

What can ya tell me about the TD05 turbo? Is it a good choice is it a bottom or top end turbo anything I should know or a thread I should be reading?

the outlet flange on that turbo is not T25 so finding a flange to bolt to the turbo is going to be the hardest part, you need to find out what bolt pattern it is and have dump pipe made

the waste gate pipe that is there now is leaking, you can tell by the soot around the pipe, and that is with no back pressure as it is a screamer, so if you just weld it into the exhaust that leak will only get worse unless you find a way of sealing it properly

Another thing you could do is rip off the TD05, sell it, replace it with a high flowed factory turbo, then use an off the shelf dump pipe, put a stock intake pipe, BOV return pipe and crankcase ventilation setup on, get it tuned again (You were talking about getting your tune looked at once you had fixed the miss fire anyway) and there ya go.

Now sounds like a lot of work, and well it is. However, it will erase the getting defected for an after market turbo part completely as you cannot tell a high flow turbo from just looking at it. And if you do ever get defected to regency for what ever reason, they wont even know you have a high flowed turbo either. However they are smart enough to pick up on the Z32 AFM, but all you simply do is remove the sticker.

That dump/screamer pipe is shocking aswell.

Just another option

It must be internally welded. There is nothing wrong with the td05 tho a td06 would be better is it kando branded? The if you wanted everything re made it will cost a few hundred the dump should be a 3 bolt flange. I would get the screemer cut where that angle is and put a flange there then weld the pipe to the housing that way its sealed and removable then get the screemer plumbed in from that flange back. Don't go stainless makes no difference and ends up looking like mild steel after a good serving also can hurt the pocket.

    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
