I've got a screamer pipe on my stock turbo rb20. I don't know how it sounds outside of the car, but from inside it sounds pretty mean when the wastegate opens up. It also cured some boost spiking issues i was having with the stock setup.

so u guys reckn it will sound shit on the twin turbos ??

yo turko, try and understand it has nothing to do with single turbo, twin turbo or tripple turbo. a screamer pipe runs from the outlet of the wastegate and vents to atmosphere. now there are generally used on external wastegates. some GTRs with twin kits have twin wastegate, some have singles, even some single kits have twin wastegates. it's got nothing to do with how many turbos you have. The reason it will sounds like a leaking exhaust on your cars is that you are running standard turbos which have INTERNAL WASTEGATES. that is they are integrated into the exhaust housing of each turbo. with that being the case it's very hard to get it completely sealed from the exhaust gas flowing through the turbine.

I say do it you will be the envy of your mates.

Hahaha, nice call.

BEST way to turn heads whilst on full boost, which means you are probably going fast, which means the cops will defect you cause they will think you are a dick and then because they are defecting your engine bay, they probably won't stop at the exhaust leak. I wouldn't do it unless you never see police cars where you are.

ok i was proven wrong on the weekend, went for a ride in my mates Cefiro, RB20, as far as i know stock turbo, a 3" straight thru system (if u know what i mean). and a screamer.

It sounded AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i took a video on my phone but its crap

Not to mention the fact that because they're stock turbos (reads small turbos running off 3 cyl each) and the fact that they're ceramic so you can't run high boost, each turbo won't be pushing much cfm of air. As a result, when the wastegate opens and lets the air out the screamer, this 'little' amount of air sounds bad, as mentioned above, like an exhaust leak.

    • Just had a look, they don't. Fuelling on the base map is purely alpha-N, and the ignition table is MAP. Remember it's just a base map to get the car moving  
    • Hi everyone, I’m Dave from Canberra. Here's a few pics of my 1992 R32 GTST coupe which I imported back in 2006. Only mods so far are HKS Hi-power cat back exhaust, K&N filter, ATC Volanti steering wheel, Pioneer stereo, amp and sub. This was my daily driver up until 2015 and sadly hasn’t been driven at all in the last 5 years due to marriage, work, and kids taking up most of my time and spare cash.As such its in need of a bit of TLC and one of my goals for this year is to get it back to running condition and maybe look into club/historic rego. I’ve joined SAU so I can ask a few questions along the way (although I promise to google Current Problem +SAU beforehand!)
    • From talking to the mx5 guys the NC doesn't actually need bonnet vents like the earlier NA and NB models, due to a better designed cooling system and undertray design There's plenty of them used as street cars and weekend track toys running anywhere from around 170 to 250kw with stock non vented bonnets, I initially was going to get some bonnet vents, but, as they are not actually required, I'll put vents on hold for a while and just monitor temps, though I do need to get something to actually monitor engine oil temps though, coolant temp can be pulled from the OBD2, but the oil gauge in the car is not actual oil temp, it is only a calculation based off coolant temp and RPM ☹️ They do recommend upgrading the radiator, which I have already done with a triple pass, and the only other thing they recommend for a street car is heat management, like I talked about above to protect bits in the engine bay from radiant heat, and to either replace the nearly 20 year old plastic coolant expansion tank, which I have done, or get a aftermarket alloy jobbie for some bling They did also say that if I wanted to track the car on occasion a oil cooler and sump baffle would be required, and as I already have had a sump baffle installed when the engine was out......... I'm going to get a oil cooler with a thermostat....... just in case I do eventually track the car, but probably not, but still maybe...🤪
