I have two to try, one is a HKS style split dump pipe, and the other is a dump/front pipe in one of a mates R33, judging by whats for sale in the shops the 33 and 32 front/dump pipes you can buy fir both no probs

Hoping to try both out

Will be doing it cold, first thing in the morning I hope

Plan is to removal the exhaust manifold heat shield etc and un-bolt it and bolt the other one up, hopefully :D

...and done it for you.

Long extension and undo three nuts (dump-front pipe) it should sit after dropping a bit if all OEM bkts are there.

10mm 1/4 drive and undo the bolts in the small turbo shield... unplug o2 sensor. 10mm ringy for the sheild bolts down near shock tower. These are brittle and may break (Clean thread and use copper eze when replacing)

Undo stubbie... think about it for a while.

No dramas really

TT

PS Did you say you had some spades that fit the ecu plug off a wreck? Need a couple.

it is essential to have the car on a hoist to get to the turbo bolts? or can i jack it up or park it upcurve to get to the cat and turbo bolts?

any1 has an idea which cable is the oxigen sensor.....rb25det has 3..... but im not sure which one to connet the air/fuel gauge cable to???? any help?

Dump pipe came of no probs, made sure I gave the bolts a good soak and didn't snap anything!

Problem was the two dump pipes had differant exhaust stud pattern, so it all came off ok............and had to go back on :)

3.5" dump next week, funnily enough, my car is making 205rwkw with a 2.5"dump and front pipe...........and a pair of 2" gaskets on the cat...........dodgy!!

Just by replacing the gaskets saw boost jump up a bit, so hopefully with a 3.5" dump, there is a few more kw's to be had

Cheers for all the help/suggestions guys :P

Has anyone ever had a problem with the stud bolt snapping off in the turbo when removing the dump pipe?

I'm going to be changing my dump pipe this weekend. I would really like to know if I have to prepare myself for the painfull process of removing broken stud bolts.

The car is a 95 GTST,

Replys would be greatly appreciated, so if you have done it could you post up what happened either way.

Cheers,

:whackit:

wooho.... goddamn is hot...

i jst replace ma dumpipe & frontpie....

the secret to NOT snapping the bolts is to tighten the bolts jst a tiny bit, sot that the locked treads unlock.... then undo the bolts with patients....shouldnt be to hard....

but dont make the mistake i made... make sure to put the turbo heat-shield back on.... it realy makes a dif temp wise in the bay...

if your gaskets, either turbo gasket or cat gasket are Copper gaskets, use these instead of the cheapo silver paper thingies.....

i beta get bak to undoin ma pipes to put heat-shield back on....... :)

the best stuff to spray on the rusted corroded bolts is, 'rost off plus' it's made by worth, im a truck mechanic and we have found it's the best thing for turbo and exhaust manifold bolts. it's not cheap but quality comes at a price..

cos dont we all hate drilling out broken bolts.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
