Anyone know much about the screamer dump pipes? How well they seal? I've heard they're reallllly leaky

many reports of them not sealing properly, and never sound as good as a true external gate.

also, it really is a pointless modification if only for the sound..

but it is your car so, your choice.

Alottttt of people running screamers and I haven't heard of anyone getting done for anything other than undue noise.. Even my old 25/30 with 4" turbo back with no mufflers just q cannon and screamer I didn't get done :-/

those shithouse dumps are just that, shithouse.

a better way would be to pull the turbo off, tack the internal flap shut and weld a pipe off the exhaust housing, and mount a gate off that, use a V band or 2 or 4 bolt gate no worries. absolute waste of time on a stock turbo but if its purely for sound, much better way to go, there is 1 or 2 decent chinese gates on the market, some of them are shockers.

I'd wait til you get your hands on a better turbo, even a high flow would be okay. then fiting a ex. gate off the exhuast housing wouldn't be quite as much as a waste of time, money and effort.

in other news I've organised a oven for saturday to paint all the bits for my datsun. prepped the front bar last yesterday, just need to prep the front guards and door, and spray them out. will sit the panels back on the car on sunday, except the bar, need to do a bit with motor so wont put the nose back on just yet. just about to go put wheels back on it so i can move the bugger about again.

this fine weather and daylight savings has boosted motivaton lol

What about a low mount with the fitting for a gate there already, and weld the internal gate shut on the stock turbo? Then I can get it high flowed later or go 3082r later. Really I just want the sound at the moment lol I miss gate :(

yeah you can run a ex gate provision off a stock manifold, but welding to cast is a little tricky, but can be done. there are a few places that could do it for you.

other option is to get a old HKS low mount cast manifold with 4 bolt gate provison. rareish, but work okay.

or get a custom manifold built with the gate provision built in. you'd be looking at around $850 min for something decent.

I have a stock manifold here, you could take that and get that modded, I would think you could do the whole thing for 2-300 bux with a cheap gate, just becareful which one you get.

the other end of the scale is to get say Ryan up at ulverstone (capel motorsports) to build you a manifold, he does fantastic work, on par with 6 boost. that will be around 850, then if you buy a genuine gate, say Tial 44 or 46 your going to be up for 1200ish by the time you've done gaskets studs and nuts etc.

I've got a stock manifold too if you want it.

DanialH in the other thread has a high mount external gate manifold for sale http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/374203-fs-brand-new-18x8-and-18x9-wheels-and-hks-2530-turbo/

I got AzCustom to make my high mount manifold and screamer and that was around the $1100 mark, sounds tough as nails though.

I've got a friend that got gate and screamer done on his stock cast manifold, cost like $120 for the guy to do it all, had the gate lying around lol. But was done properly (heating yhe manifold up to the right temp first and cooled down slowly). No eBay monsta high mounts then? :P

hypergear is starting to make his turbo's with dual gates, int and ext

you said you were thinking of a highflow, this will bolt on and use stock dump + have external gate

i had an ebay monsta high mount on my VL, i had to get it redrilled and it leaked like a siz but two gaskets and a whole heap of heatproof silicone and it was fiiiiiiine, well as fine as a bogan spec VL gets.

Who's your friend? i did one like that for someone a few months ago.

Well finally got Jacks parts painted yesterday so he can now get it all back together and hopefully leave me alone for a while lol. Anyway he wanted me to put the pic's up for him.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
