I'd be getting rid of the dumps, cause I had the same dumps and the same issue. Since changed over to Midori dumps (but changed to -5s as well)

Oh I see....well that's the thing - I've been reading about peeps who swear by them and then others who're fans of the bell mouth style ones which are what you're using (I think).

So did you have a set of -9's before you went to the -5's? Keen to hear more about these xforce dumps and why they're not that good...I'd be happy to swap them over or even put my stock R33 GTR ones back on (I know people make decent figures on these too and also use them as upgrades on the R32's)

I use xforce split dumps - they're fine. 305kw @ 17psi on -7s. 16psi at 4000rpm. If anything you could go slightly backwards spool wise with a bellmouth as they produce more turbulence post turbine. Changing dumps is turbo out, so not only will it not help, it will be expensive for labour....

Ah ok - that's the divided opinions right there haha

Ah the swap isn't too bad - I've gotten it down to about 1 day's solid work now but don't really want to do it again! Those are some nice figures by the way - you must have an excellent tune! Yeh at this stage I'm just going to drop the cat and cat-back out to see if there's any difference. If there is, it's new cat and new tune time ;-)

I have -9s with HPI bellmouth dumps one of the biggest on sale. Running 330awkw 18psi full boost 3800rpm.

I don't think your dumps are the main issue, yes could improve with different ones, but as stated before drop the cat and check/replace it.

I had an issue with a previous "hi flow" cat that was causing a 10+psi restriction

Wow those are even more awesome figures! Ok, well tomorrow I'll drop the exhaust and see what she's like and post it up on here. Yeh 10psi+ seems like a massive restriction - I'd probably have something like this too.

But yes, we shall find out tomorrow.

Thanks for all your replies so far - most helpful in a time of great frustration!

i have 18psi by 3800rpm on hks dumps so problems for you there, also had an issue with blocked cat previously and car lost 40kw, check for leaks as well

I'm assuming you mean "no" problems there...are you referring to the split dumps? 40kw hey? Yeh I need to gain at least that much....really hoping to make close to 300kw to make all the money spent worth while!

Also guessing you already know but don't flog the shit out of it with the cat dropped.

It's not going to be tuned for the extra flow and power so might lean out at some points

Haha offcourse not. I've been talking to the tuner about this...about how much margin there would be for this. I basically plan on just giving it a gentle tap because I'll know right away if it's had an effect - that's how poor it's performance is right now. Then I'll be booking it in with the local exhaust mob to get a proper hi flowing cat put in place, along with a larger internal dia canon

Yeh tuner didn't know much about my turbos...didn't even know -9's existed in the 2860 range :P Mainly does bigger turbos and singles.

She's obviously gonna need a re-tune once exhaust has been rectified (provided that's the only problem and it's not something more sinister etc etc)

just curious, if the tuner dropped the exhaust on the dyno how would the gases get collected, from what i seen the fans or whatever that suck them up and deal with them are right at the back of the dyno room, so wouldnt that fill the room up with fumes???

    • Hey Nismo, any chance in the world you still have these seats?
    • I'd say closer to OG GTX3582R, just smaller trim - so 59mm inducer/82mm exducer as opposed to 62/82 for the first gen GTX3582R. Yeah EFRs were boss, the EFR8474 is still an absolute beast and it perplexes me that people still go to things like Turbosmart/Garrett etc when the results people are getting with those are pretty unremarkable compared to what you could get with a turbo available well before those options came out.  DriftSquid (I think) "upgraded" from an EFR9174 to a Turbosmart turbo and promised a comparison video - and kinda shuffled awkwardly and did a bit of diversion from the fact that they didn't get any improvement going to the currently massively hyped brand of turbo from a turbo that was a bit of a frankenstein that had been well superceded in it's own range before the Turbosmart unit he put on there even came out. I suspect the EFR would outperform most Xonas for what a lot of less-insane RB owners would go for, in the 400-600kw range but the Xonas are looking hard to beat up to maybe in the mid 700kw range at this stage- basically where EFRs don't really reach, and before the Precision turbos take over.  What the Xonas do well in the "EFR range" is be easier to package etc, and work very well if a divided housing doesn't suit your application.  
    • Are you sure the gasket is blown? What are the issues? Thermocure is the only flush I've seen do anything with rust, very impressed with that, Prestone, rust will be by the pool having a cigarette.  
    • And since the flush you have a blown head gasket? Have you lifted the head off yet?
    • The answer is to get a hold of the wiring diagram, work out what voltage is supposed to be where, when, and then work out why it is not there, then. I can't speak to the HR34 stuff, because I have never paid any attention to the NAs. There is a possibility that the turbo diagram will help, but it could also be different - depending on whether there is an FPCM on the NAs.
