Hi guys,

I'm after a stock dump off an m35, hopefully someone who has upgraded to a Scotty-spec or the like has their old one lying around and doesn't mind parting with it. Let me know if you've got one! Thanks a lot.

Well Josh, it sounds stupid and it probably is but here's the deal:

I'm looking for a stock dump so i can try smash out the cat convertor and swap it with my stock dump. Not because i wanna be hectic sick and go hard and loud, but actually because i need to install a wideband o2 sensor before the first cat. I can't put it in stock o2 location because it's too close to the turbo and will get damaged from the heat. Needs to be further downstream.

At this point you might be saying "so fit a Scotty dump pipe and plumb in your sensor just behind that...car will go hectic sick fast & loud and you have o2 sorted"

You'd be 100% correct. This is where it gets stupid, I'm about to install + tune an Fcon V pro on the stock setup. I've got a 3071r that will be going on once i finish buying all the other supporting mods i'll need to make it all happen (more than likely this will take aaaages) So that'll have a custom dump once it goes on and as it's V-band rear, there'd be no use for a factory style dump pipe.

So basically to save some cash for now and get car running on the f-con, i need a cat-less stock dump to make it possible.

Pretty stupid? Maybe...

Even possible? Not sure...but if i can get a spare pipe i'll have a crack

Thats my amazing story, thanks for reading :)

I can't put it in stock o2 location because it's too close to the turbo and will get damaged from the heat. Needs to be further downstream.

You can run it in the factory location if you put a screw in o2 cooler under it. There should be enough room...

You would need to select the narrowband output and plug it back into the factory loom, otherwise closed loop economy will be all over the place.

Yeah thanks Scotty,

I wanted to keep the factory o2 there anyway to avoid those issues, I'd feel better just having it at the start of the midpipe.

You mentioned maybe selling your setup to me before but I thought you were waiting till the Evo was back on the road?

Have you fitted the new turbo and built a new setup to suit it already?

No, not yet. But I can rip it all out if you are interested and just make some new parts up for myself. Not sure when the evo will be on the road, the mech building the engine is being slack.

Ah I see...we'll I'm pretty strapped for cash at the moment but can you pm me a list of what you'd sell and how much?

The only prob I'd have using your old stuff is that the rear housings are different, so the wastegate section and flange part won't work. I haven't gotten deep enough into the job yet to see if I can force the t3 rear in there somehow, and if that'll mean all pipe work will be slightly different to your setup.

HKS couldn't manage to fit the T3 flange, and I know I couldn't, there just isn't room. You would have trouble enough fitting my kit, it's very tight under there.

So pretty much I'm going to have to sell the t3 rear and get a dual v-band. Yeah... That'll have to wait a while I reckon. For now just want to get the car running on the fcon.

I'll see if Pac will give me a trade with cash adjustment, I could have chose the v inlet when I bought the turbo but I didn't look into your one enough. It's still in box so I reckon they will help me out.

    • Well, I'm tired. I'm tired because about 4PM yesterday, before today's appointment someone immediately bought my bumper. They couldn't get it any other day as they're on the way back to NSW. So I had to do that big GTR conversion I had been planning. Unfortunately, the information on SAU about what you need and how this is done is incomplete. So what should be a simple bolt on affair, yeah, it's not. Did you know if you use all GTR items the bonnet won't close? This little manuever sent me into about 1am the night before trying to dodge a way to get it closed. I will have to revisit this in the next few days  - or maybe not, I may let a body shop figure it out. It all needs to come up and my motivation to pull the bumper off is low. It also seems to hit things in the bay where the GTT bonnet didn't. Yes I used 100% new OEM GTR items. Today, I had the joy of driving to the dyno looking like this: Given I had roughed in the fuel and given sensible but pretty conservative timing, I didn't really bet on having the car drive out any real difference than when it drove in. Sadly due to a miscommunication and laptop fun and games (and almost bricking the dongle, prayers and firmware updates indeed), I ended up using HP Tuner credits to licence the car that was already licenced. So in the end my laptop was used. It turns out my butt dyno is still well calibrated after all this time. The 325kw was on 74% Ethanol, the 313kw line was on 98. The other line is the 'before' line which was 281kw. While the numbers are pretty low, they're pretty in line with what you'd expect. Even if US dynos bump the whole result up about 50KW, gaining 10-15% is similar gains.  The curve of the cam is pretty much spot on with what was discussed as well. All this said, it still feels bad to not see the number you secretly want to see. Even if the car drove great beforehand, and I knew pretty confidently the car would drive out much the same way it drove in due to the nature of a wellish dialled in LS1 not gaining much if anything at all from being tuned from where it was. As expected, the car isn't particularly sensitive to running it at anywhere between 12.0 and 13.0 - And the initial timing at 20deg and 12.0 made 308KW. So 3 degrees of timing, and leaning it out to 12.7 for 5kw, anything above stopped giving any benefit until E85 (which has an additional 2 deg as before). Car itself behaved entirely fine. I found out that 100C = 1.15V! IAT at about 7pm was 19C. I might mess with the bonnet mounting.. but given the REO NEEDS TO BE CHOPPED TO FIT A GTR BAR this is possibly something I may leave gathering (more) dust until it returns to paint jail.
    • It sounds farrrrrrr too cold at your place Duncan... Here I was thinking our 10 degrees overnight is getting cold...
