Not ALL split dumps are the badguys everyone is making them out to be. Obviously their design is the big factor. I ran a split dump on my GTX3071R setup and never had a boost contol issue with a 1 bar actuator running 25psi of boost.

^ Exactly. Teh genuine HKS split dump has a notch in it to allow no interference. It also has the gasket that completely separates exhaust/wastegate (for hks gt series turbos)

Then the china copy lots of people have dramas with with the divider for stock turbo, yuck.

I'm hoping this doesn't turn into dump pipe wars , I just think that for the effort and expense involved making divided ones isn't worth it .

The flange plate absolutely has to match the housings inside profile meaning that if the dump side doesn't , function wasn't its primary objective - cost cutting was . Its obviously more time consuming to profile cut the inside of the plate than it is to run a hole saw through it .

I reckon 3.5" tube welded to a properly made GT30IW flange plate with a decent gusset isn't going to lack flow potential on a typical RB25 install . Plenty of exhausts are 3" and they can support good power if the whole system is made with good mufflers cats etc .

I been there and done this long time ago, I paid $500 to have the IW modified and an XR6 flapper installed, still no change, then it was decided that the holes didn't line up and the flapper was hitting the flange and all sorts of backpressure... got an open mouth dump and all sorted...

Just get an external and don't stuff around with it, its a waste of time and money...

If you put the effort and expense in, and you match everything up properly, it is worth it. If you buy some ling long piece of crap for $200 and expect it to work just because it's split then you only have yourself to blame.

It's easy to f**k up a split dump, but it's hard to f**k up a bellmouth. Keep the law of averages on your side unless you have the time and expertise to make sure a split dump fits properly. I'm a huge bellmouth fan because I hear stories of obstructed wastegate travel ALL THE TIME.

I remember i had an issue like this long time ago with a halset turbo. It just kept over boosting even when i tied the gate open. Talk about lost. So one day i took the turbo off and noticed it was a t3 twin scroll. The gate only vented from one side. The othere side just kept boosting. So over boost hard. I noticed it only controlled boost over 22psi. So thats what i aimed for. I upgraded everything to handle more than 22 psi. She was good after that. Hope thats not your issue mate. Cheers

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE.!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So as i think i mention the travel of the flapper was stuff all yes. I manage to get a 10mm dump spacer. Which i had to port anyway because it had way to much meat on it, So I ported until it match perfect with gaskets and housing. Slapped it together and i can now flog 3rd and 4th and the boost not only does not move, it drops off at the top (only a little).

So the flapper was fouling on the dump, spaced it out so it doesnt hit and works like a charm. I must also add there is no divider in the spacer so gases can kinda swap and choose its outlet path (thought it would be a issue) but works fine,

Thanks for the dump pipe hit :)

As for going external wastegate. Yes Highly recommend, but it is a bit tight on a low mount setup (yes i know its been done before). If you can do the whole high mount, FFP ect. ect. go for it as many manifolds are made for high mount to suit external gate. All about budget a commitment

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
