You must be careful with the ones from E-bay.

They WILL NOT fit a Series II R33 or an R34 GTT.

WILL NOT FIT. The dum pipe length is different on these models.

Also, the BOS Importing BATMBL ones are AWESOME. You should buy one of those. I'm as happy a Larry with mine and the quality is tops.

BASS OUT

The ebay link and the Manwhore link.

They are the same dump. 2.5"

The batmbl dumps are good, basically the same as the ces.

But still for $130 thats stuff all.

I definitely agree that the batmbl dumps are pretty good. They are however very expensive @450.

like you said, 130 is stuff all for a split dump. I don't really see the fact that it's 2.5 " as being a problem up to the limits of the stock turbo.

There was a group buy on here a while ago for the C.E.S. item, picked mine up from that, only cost me around $650 I THINK, that was with special coating same as the pic posted earlier.

If there is enough interest you should look into doing another.

Interesting read....

Just bought my SII-R33 and it has a 4" exhaust from the CAT-back. I want to get the 3" piping from the turbo to the CAT.

I was just wondering if it is worth spending $1000-$3000 the get an 3" full system for the 10-20rwkw gain?

Looking at the graph I notice that the power gain is like 10kw from ~3750rpm - ~4750rpm and 20rwkw from 5500rpm to redline. Do you guys really take your skyline to ~6000rpm in every gear to get the power gain, cause I don't think I'll be driving like this every weekend.

My friend told me that my 4" CAT-back is not necessary as my engine is stock and that the 4" does not have good back-pressure. Can anyone shed some light on this. Thanks.

Keep the 4inch cat back. Your mate has no idea what he's talking about. On a turbo engine (actually any engine) you want the least back pressure possible from a performance point of view. Even in a NA engine the scavenging effect is due to the runner length of the headers and collector design, not the backpressure in the exhaust.

The only reason the get rid of your current cat back is if it is too loud/drony for you to take in day to day driving.

Anyway, you don't need to spend 1-3k as you already have the exhaust. A one piece front/dump pipe and a decent cat (say 3 inch minimum) is all you need to get/replace. Thats well under a grand.

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
