im just wondering which of these 2 dump pipes will give you more power - screamer dump pipe or split pulse dump pipe?

Im looking at getting either one which works best for my RB25 Turbocharger im using on my RB20DET engine

Ive seen heaps of companys selling split pulse pipes on EBAY etc but not many selling screamer pipes, anyone know of any companys that sell screamer pipes?

if you want it too sound horridly retarded, get a screamer...

they sound VERY bad on small turbo/pipes IMO.

Heard them on SRs and its pretty p|ssweak compared to a big turbo with an ext gate

If you exhaust is 3" then get the one that plumbs in.

There shouldnt be a performance loss if its 3" to begin with.

Correct. On an internal gated turbo, and a RB25 one at that I would say get the split pulse dump that joins back to the exhaust system. Just get one that seperates the wastegate gasses for a decent length, say 300mm if possible. Not the ones you see that seperate it for 50mm.

A screamer version, which vents it to atmo "might" make a tiny bit more but is ridiculously loud which attracts unwanted attention and is also illegal to boot.

A screamer pipe or "divorved" downpipe will always give you more power.

Whether or not you want a louder exhaust is up to you.

Back to back tests were done on a 7M-GTE (3.0 liter supra turbo) using a full 3" downpipe that replaced that replaced the cast turbo elbow and all, vs. a full 3" downpipe with a divorced wastegate or screamer pipe as you call it.

The result was a gain of 22 wheel horsepower from just the screamer pipe. This was done on a bone stock motor with only a cat back and an air filter + the 2 aforementioned downpipes.

Pretty big difference if you ask me.

you'll only have a gain if the exhaust is restrictive enough that you loose power.

There are a few cars the come to mind that have been tested with/without the atmo gate (on bigger cars) and there is no loss.

mind you this is using 4" exhausts and stuff. But for a small turbo setup that obviously flows a lot less... should b arite

screamer pipes are somewhat illegal, anyonet hat thinks that this noise is tops, well drive ur car to a racetrack or drag strip. Put it on, and go for a hoon, then take it off again and drive home. On a street car i beleive it is a stupid idea. :D

have a nice legal streetable car. be it mostly legal. hehe

peace out, yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

My guess is the difference will be bugger all compared to a split dump pipe, not a open dump like you suggested.

For example, A CES dump pipe. That would have been a much better comparison.

i beg to differ.

My car is a daily driver and i have a screamer on my Rb20 and dont have any problems or a rep as being a hooooon.

Its all in the way you use the right foot if you ask me as i have heard some cars down here (turbo's, V8's) that are louder than my screamer pipe :D

Beauty of living somewhere like the Apple Isle where they are pretty easy going on mods and no EPA here at the mo either :(

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
