Those are interesting results that you have there.

My car made 164.9rwkw on Mercury's Dyno with the following mods only:

*3" Dump from turbo, into stock pipe 2 inches??? This is what I was told by the guys from the shop?

*Standard Cat

*3" Mandrel the rest of the way and a 4" Canon.

And on the intake side, a Apexi Power intake pod (not enclosed, naughty me)

And the guys said my car would benifit greatly from the type of dump you are talking about and a highflow cat, now it looks like that is what I'll be doing next.

Importantly however, comparing my dyno sheet to yours, it seems yours has a bit more 'meat' throughout the whole range before reaching the peak power.

BTW, i can post up my Dyno sheet for anyone who would like to compare my results to the above results.

I don't know how much use it would be, quantifying different results on different cars, but it may be of interest to someone.

Hey guys, most of you have the right idea about the split dump, most importantly, the drop in kw on the dyno was only between 6500 - 7000 RPM this was due to the stock cams. i have since reset my ECU and it feels even better on top end.

BHDave: its a full 3" system with high-flow CAT... read the original post for full details...

If anyone is intrested in this setup... for R32, R33 and R34 contact Jimmy at Liverpool exhausts.... tell him Sarkis sent you.. and for the Dyno and ECU tuning contact Adam at Just Engine Managment.. These guys are the best of the best and look after their customers!

QRI05E - great results, what did it end up costing you if you don't mind - can you break it down..

also - you will notice with the freer flow of air boost is up ~0.5-0.8psi to redline from approx 5,000 to redline.. This would also help I would imagine..

Am definately interested in getting something like this done on mine and with the turbotech bleedvalve should make a decent difference..

Would probably reset the ECU straight away and let it relearn..

So you gained 10 from the exhaust and another 10 from the revised dump. Sounds more reasonable, though there is still some conjecture about the performance of the short split dump at higher power (as in the bolt on replacement dump) vs the one piece as shown by mafia.

Thats the main thing i'm asking as the drop off as shown on the graph could well be a sign of the top end choke commonly associated with these type of dumps and may well be more pronounced when you start making more power.

We then took it back to the work shop and fitted a single 3" dump, CATCO 702cfm CAT, 3" mandrel bend exhaust with 6" cannon...

From what I gather.. 3" split dump, 3" front, 702cfm CAT, 3" exhaust..

leads me to the same conclusion - you are saying you have a full 3" exhaust and highflow cat.

Yes... both Dump pipes were tested with full 3" exhaust and highflow CAT... however the first dyno run was completely stock except for the 3" front pipe that came with the car from japan so most likely if i had a 2" front pipe too it would of been around the 140rw/kw stock therefore approx 24rw/kw increase from the split n full 3" setup. But due to the 3" front pipe the car made 144rw/kw stock..

Just a note: My split dump pipe and front pipe are one piece same as the pictures posted...

In regards to the price, every car will vary depending if you want HPC coating, mildsteel/stainless, type of CAT, type of muffler/cannon.. If you contact Jimmy at Liverpool Exhaust and tell him Sarkis sent you, he will package an exhaust set up and will look after you price wise...

Evan R33,

The CES dump pipe illustrates exactly what I was getting at.

They have chose to join the wastegate in on a straight section of the exhaust, not a bend and especially not the outer of a bend.

Exhaust gas has intertia just as everything else does, once its moving in a direction it doesn't like changing.

By placing the merge on the outer of a bend your creating turbulence as the exhaust gas hits it and tries to turn a bend.

Thats the way I visualise it with ZERO knowledge of flow dynamics, could some one possibly clear this up that does have knowledge of flow dynamics???

Hey Arkon, The only thing that might need modifying would be the flange on the split dump.. i have seen an R33 in the workshop with a Garret T04 high-flow running 25psi with the same split dump i used and the flange was modified to fit the turbo housing... and it worked a treat on the dyno... The only time the dump pipe will have to be remade is you put a high mount manifold.... otherwise if the standard manifold is used, the same dump can be used... hope that answered your question...

Regards,

Sarkis

I have absolutely no doubt at all that a bolt on split dump will perform better than the stock item. If any of you have a look at the stock item, it is basically flat and perpendicular to the wastegate opening. The link posted below has pictures. This would cause the wastegate gases to merge with the exhaust gases at 90 degrees. Definitely very restrictive.

If you look at the stock frontpipe, it's actually a reasonably designed pipe. Up to the limits of the stock turbo, changing the dump alone (without changing front pipe) should eliminate restrictions.

Best bargain upgrade would be to just change the dump to a split item, which is cheap e.g. for sale atm:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...topic=97734&hl=

compared to the price of a full split front/dump for 450 from batmbl.

Is that in comparison to the other dump that is for sale in the link above?

Or you mean in comparison to the entire dump/engine pipe combo?

I was referring to the link in particular not the entire combo pipe that batmbl sells.

    • haha this shit box doesn't drink coolant, for now       Let me guess, they make heaps of power, use the car for straight line driving and don't care about noise
    • They’re so great that I know of someone pulling one out to go back to a sequential 
    • Hello everyone. I've recently started the research into R34 GTR front bits and running into eye watering prices. On the plus site it looks like some places make 'replacement' fender liners for these cars. At eye-watering-but-less than stock prices. I also noticed there's plenty of diffuser options available too. What I would like to know is if my following assumptions are correct. 1) The OEM guard liners are actually only 'half' the liner. They go together with the OEM brake vents which are a separate item which looks to be quite a large 'panel' that is part of the liner. The GTR bumper has bolt holes along the front. I assume the ones in the vent correspond to the ones the OEM liner does not have (circled?)   2) The V-Spec front diffuser supplants the brake ducts in the above item. I am assuming these still work with the guard liners as there's no alternate part that I'm aware of. I don't see how they go together, so I'm making the assumption that they have to, somehow. I know the center splash guard is different on the V-Spec (and is the price of the damn diffuser alone). How does the liner interact with this? 3) There's alternate front diffusers that do away with it all. Annoyingly, a lot of the clones and CF different ones... have no brake ducts on them. I like the idea of them though. My brakes get hot on the track. These alternate diffusers are a lot cheaper than plastic splash guards. I'm assuming you don't have to/aren't supposed to remove guard liners to run a diffuser. I suspect that quite a few people actually do not run the guard liner because with a front undertray you're getting a lot of 'splash' guarding anyway, and most people remove liners given they're probably running a pretty aggressive setup with a diffuser at the front. It would also be nice to know if anyone has ever run the 'reproduction' guard liners and know whether the fitment is OEM quality or "OEM Quality". Example: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/356254671561 https://carbonetics.net/products/nissan-skyline-r34-gtr-plastic-front-wheel-arch-set Is this knowledge still around?
    • Really, effort is pretty low. You hand fistfuls of cash over to someone else and pick it up when done...   And at least this shitbox isn't drinking coolant right?  
    • And most chargers that most DIY people own would put bugger all power back into the battery between cylinders. I've always done it with jumper packs/second battery connected. And that's on any car.   Because race car, and wanting the lightness.  At least in an R33, putting a bigger battery in can at least help shift the weight balance backwards
