Why are you so attached to that set of engine pipes?  You are compromising the whole system because of it.  I would sell them and buy the CES turbo to cat system, if money is the reason you want to keep them.  If money is not an issue go the Trust, they are a true work of art.

Either way I can asure you that the results will be worth it.;)

SK - what sort of improvement will the Trust front/dump pipe combo make over the standard dumps if your running bigger turbos??

Well I have seen a 25 rwkw increase and 400 rpm earlier boost build from an R32GTR running R34GTR (ball bearing) N1 turbos. That's with no boost increase, in fact there was a boost decrease as it obviously removed a restriction. And no extensivel re-tuning, just a couple of minor fuel and ignition timing changes. More advance as the boost was lower. This improved the response measurably, which is a welcome bonus.

mmm, sounds impressive...

Not so much interested in more power, but 400rpm earlier boost build???? I LIKE!!

Do you reckon this will be the case with Truck (Trust) turbos??? Being bush bearing, they may not respond aswell as the N1 ball bearing turbos??

I have no idea, I never use plain bearing turbos:cheers:

CES do a so called hks copy but also a long wastegated version similar to the trust ones. It requires different front pipe obviously.

*cough*

I believe CES calls these their "competition pipes" to distinguish them from the HKS-ripoff version they also sell (as pictured above)

PS. Nice sig SK :)

How about the flex join? Is that important in GTR's as most aftermarket jobbies have that flex for the front turbo.

IMHO -- and I have no evidence to back this up -- I think the flex joint is a very good idea. Anything the reduces the amount of movement exerted on "fixed" parts (ie. the turbos) is a good thing. Whilst the exhaust is mounted with rubber grommets to allow it to move about, the turbos aren't. Transmitting all that vibration without a dampening effect doesn't seem like a good idea IMHO.

williamsf1 said that the trust units he got recently had a flex joint, even though the press photos don't show one.

Yeah - would be a pain to get a crack in the pipe after completing the pr!ck of a job to get them on. I am going in on the group buy for the trust front pipes - was thinking if they dont come with the flex join I will just get one put in.

I still think that as internal wastegated turbos go, the TRUST units are by far the best (may not be the cheapest) and as it is a biatch of a job, doing it once seems to save money in the long run....

Hey marcus! did you see the pics I took for you of the R34 wheels ;)

ahhh .... got my car finally and guess what, after all that it has mines dumps allready.... i think i'll keep them for the time being until i have done a few other things to the car i would like to first and that will take priority to these at this stage, plus i'd like to see what power i get with these and the rest of the system and then if i can, compare it to a gtr with trust front and n1s and compare them.

will keep the trust pipes in mind though.

thanks everyone for your opinions and advice.

i was in a position to buy either the hks dumps or the trust long dumps as i was also upgrading the exhaust...

i was informed that the long wastegate pipe on the trust systems create more lag, now i dont know how true this is although i was told by a dyno tuner that works on a lot of gtr's

i bought the x-force (hks copies) for only $450 for the pair via crd in sydney.

pls don't take as gospel :)

More lag? I would love to hear what the theory behind that is? I have heard it mentioned that in very high power applications that a (larger) non-split pipe design has some advantages Regardless, the vast majority of people will never get anywhere near those power levels.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
