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.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
