Turbo Dump Pipe Rb25Det


Recommended Posts

I got one of these too, can't say I noticed any difference since I only just put it on with a hypergear high flow turbo. It's just an easier option from installation perspective without costing an arm and a leg for HPI

Didn't have to grind anything either, matched the turbo fine and waste gate can open/close freely

In my previous r33 I have tried both bell mouth and split (long split, not the hks copy) setup without altering anything else, I must say I noticed better midrange response with the split setup- no dyno sheet to compare max power however but I didn't really care about what the max power was

Turbo was an r33 highflow with garret bb CHRA done by precision- it was a very responsive turbo

I know most people prefer bell mouth, and may think otherwise, but I'm just sharing my experience

well its a measured difference either way and i'm sure it would be with a bellmouth too....for the price its cheap horse power which is i guess the crux of it...why spend $400 when you can spend $120.

Just to throw another variable in the mix... I have been pretty disappointed with a very popular brand inexpensive dump pipe. Apart from some alignment issues, just take a look at the opening where it connects to the turbo:

The wastegate flap on a hypergear turbo can foul if you have an aftermarket actuator which opens a little further than the stock one.

Keep in mind on a hypergear turbo, the turbine outlet is even larger, meaning that even the gasket opening will be slightly smaller than the turbine outlet diameter. It would be a good idea to have one made, or modify and existing one. The stuff coming out of china can be just too variable in quality and shape.

    • This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O
    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
    • Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though. 
    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
