not even a tiny bit legal

Let me put it this way.

Screamer pipe = exhaust gasses coming straight out of the engine, and being dumped into atmosphere.

i.e. It bypasses the catalytic convertor.

Say hello to a $10,000 fine for bypassing emissions standards devices.

all i can say is, even hearing it on computer, it sounds nothing like it in real life, its that loud.

Agreed. I heard it off a PC etc... but once i got my setup completed

It was way louder than i thought with the ext gate etc. And im not even running much boost yet so it'll probably get a bit louder.

It's highly addictive noise, i love it.

Screamin past a car, tight street/tunnel at full song gives you a wicked noise.

What you can do, is just get a flange made up for the screamer to plumb into the dump pipe just before that CAT, costs stuff all if you can weld.

Then you can dump it or plumb it in when you like.

a screamer with a stock turbo?

eh? Dont you need an ext gate? As the stock turbo plumbs back in doesnt it?

(my limited knowledge shows)

If you went total screamer... you'd be playing with fire as it'd be loud all the time, not just when the gate is open.

Nah, your thinking of the BOV. the BOV plumbs back to the turbo ti keep it spinning. waste gates either vent to the exhaust (internal) or to the atmosphere (external).

I know what a BOV is and how they work :cheers:

Thanks Kam... i get ya.

My old Int gated turbo just had it plumb back to the one exhaust hole. Thats why i was wondering. Never to worry. Bit of a waste for a std turb if you ask me

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
