So I am looking at getting a dump pipe for my r33. It is just running standard turbo. I have read that if you are running big boost then split pipe will help but I just have the basic mods front mount, exhaust, fuel pump, boost controller. Would I be best off getting a split pipe or not?

Thanks for the advice mate.

Personally, I'd go with the split, it's the best design for your setup.

The split design separates the waste gate gas flow away from the main pipe (where there is turbine exit flow) which is highly desirable for improved flow...

For internal gate, pretty well documented the split design provides less lag, more power, and better fuel economy

Bell mouth is cheaper to buy though...

My exhaust system (with the split front/dump) has netted me around 40rwkw, with improved response.

Thanks. Makes my decision easy now.

Splits tend to cause a lot more turbulence in the face of the dump area and actually make boost come on later

We have proved this with 3 gtrs all running hks dumps on 3 different turbos, once we swapped over to bell mouth dumps on all 3 cars, they came alive

Could this be different for a GTST?

R32-25t is talking about a split dump, whereas I am talking about a split front/dump pipe. They are different.

The split front/dump design (such as a CES Racing one) are the best for an internal gate setup.

do you have back to back proof on your own car or did you read the website?

JJR Bellmouth $179 for Mild Steel or $199 for Stainless.

I got the Stainless. Much nicer feel than the stock dump with stock turbo.

Can't go wrong and if you decide to go split later, you can compare...

Sam off JDMST who owns an S15 that runs 1:06's at Wakefield, is running a CES split front/dump pipe coming off a .64 GT2860RS. His exact words are "they are the shit", and considering his uncle works at a reputable exhaust place in Campbelltown I'm sure he would of asked for his advice before using one.

The bloke who installed my exhaust has many years of experience and said he wouldn't have done anything different with the design of the front/dump currently on my S15. I should also mention he is friends with Skola and was taught how to weld by him as well.

So the answer to my question is no,

A dump pipe won't make you run a 1.06 around Wakefield, it's take a lot more parts then that and most of them aren't even engine related

And you have an option of a guy who said it looks pretty, has he done back to back testing on a car with dyno sheets?

Sam only uses the best of the best parts for his car, hence why he is using the CES front/dump. It is the best from a design point of view for an internal gate setup (design in terms of benefiting performance, not looks btw - pretty obvious I was referring to that in the first place).

Also, there was the instance of someone using a HKS GT Extension Kit on an S15 (runs a Split Dump pipe, which then bolts to a 3 inch front pipe - this is not a split front/dump pipe). They went from 330ps with the HKS to 347ps once they installed the split CES racing front/dump pipe. So 17ps gain at peak power 6600rpm. At 5000rpm they were making 12ps more. Boost also came on earlier.

Look all I'm asking for legitimate proof of how great your dump pipe is, because I have 3 cars that have proved split dumps are not as good as bell mouth(not including all the xr6t boys who take them off and go to bell mouth design)

But another thing to add your your 1.06 argument is I have a mate with a momo steering wheel that has done sub 1 min around Wakefield and he thinks it feels great, does that make the momo a more cost effective mod then your dump pipe?

Basically I'm not going to argue with you, but in closing I will say this to the original poster.

I would never recommend a split dump as I have seen on my car and two other cars that bell mouth dumps do a better job

Once I do a dyno run in my car I will be happy to show you a dyno graph.

Split dumps are not long enough to actually get the sort of flow you will get from a split front/dump design.

Quoting power figures on changing parts can be hit and miss unless you back to back test the parts, even then it is most probably bullsh1t as there are many restrictions to flow, and a little turbulence in the dump isn't going to change it much.

Bell mouth is bigger = better.

If the split dumps opened up into a 3 inch pipe for the turbo alone, they may be acceptable, but the wastegate path is nowhere near smooth enough or large enough.

Ditch the internal gate altogether imo, they cause much more restriction than external gate setups.

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
