I'll post a before/after dyno thread so all can see the difference.

when i did mine the dyno graph wasent really much higher peak but more midrange and response while driving which the dyno wont show!

SORLO,

When upgarding to a bigger turbo there are many parts which need upgrading or replacing, consider the following list:

Injectors

Fuel Pump

Stronger clutch

Intercooler pipes(factory pipes are very restrictive)

Exhaust Manifold

If running high boost(2bar) then consider forged internals

That's great.

i am going to order the HKS stainless steel dump pipe end of this month. But the diameter of the pipe is just 75mm. There is another brand "Trust" have 80mm in diameter, but only in ordinary steel material. What do you guys prefer for the material or the diameter as the first priority?

SORLO,

Go for the 75mm stuff, that is 3", you will have a harder time getting the 80mm stuff to fit up with the rest of your system otherwise. You don't want any changes in pipe size, as it will cause turbulance.

It doesn't realy matter, but stainless will crack if there is too much heat. Can always ceramic coat them.

Nope.

I have a stainless 3inch wrapped in thermal tape. If it was going to crack it would have by now. The cracking happens when the pipe takes a huge hit of heat and gets moved/twisted. This happens with GTR's so they usually have a flexible pipe bit.

INASNT,

That is one sexy dump pipe, but I think the wastegate pipe should meet up a bit further down(20cm or more), probably doesn't make much difference on a stock turbo though.

paul

its made to the same spec as hks dumps, its actually about 20cm from the flange to where the they join again!

It did make a noticable difference with throttle response and midrange.

304 stainless wont crack that easy, 314 stainless will.

Stainless is a superior material however I would take the Trust unit with its bigger diameter and wrap it with header wrap. If you wrap the whole pipe from turbo to cat you will keep some of the heat in the exhaust which makes for more exhaust volume which equals faster exhaust velocities. This in turn allows the exhaust to propel itself faster out the tail pipe, which can make more power because the engine is not doing the work.

I had the rest of my exhaust fitted yesterday (as mentioned earlier in this thread). The difference is absolutely amazing.

This Saturday my car is on the dyno and i'll post pics of before/after.

Basically your kidding yourself if you think a cat-back exhaust is enuff.

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
