Turbo back Zorst ???

Recommended Posts

What exactly is needed to make the Turbo back zorst ? I've already got a cat back which does the job, but looking to upgrade with the front bits. Now I've heard the words front pipe and dump pipe thrown around, but with little understanding of what they actually are. I mean, the concept is pretty simple right, exhaust gases come out the back... But basically, if I buy, say a HKS Front Pipe, will that go from the Turbo back to the cat ? Or does it need something else ? And what's the advantage of buying the HKS pipe over a local custom job ? And also price wise ?

The front section goes like this;

Dump pipe - this comes straight off the turbo and is about 25cm long.

Front pipe - this connects to the dump pipe and goes to your cat.

Cat - does all the greenie stuff and makes your car legal.

The key to the front pipe is the size and flow, remembering that when the gasses come out of your turbo they are very hot and have expanded a fair bit, so the bigger and free'er flowing the better.

Some dump pipes have the seperate pipe for the wastegate which should help top end power when the wastegate opens. I haven't seen back to back dyno runs to compare though.

If you do go with the front pipe go for both front and dump pipe.

I put a front and dump pipe on mine a few weeks ago and the seat of the pants difference is noticable. It seems to spool up faster and has more mid to top end power.

Ahhhh, love the mods....

If you have a Cat back exhaust, you may get away without having to change your old Cat. Just make sure it's big enough to fit the new front pipe.

I guess if you have one made up locally, it works out cheaper than the HKS one. However, the HKS one is pretty much guarenteed to give you good HP. Still, go the locally made as the difference may be only minor.

remeber that when you are buying a brand name product your also paying for the time spent on prefecting the product, so a brand name should normally be better. But if the person making it for you knows exactly what he/shes doing then i'd go with them cause you save a lot

Birty..

Here are some pics to help you out...

these are off a S15 Silvia but you get the idea..

Dump pipe..

This is the very first part of the exhaust. It is bolted directly to the turbo..

Front pipe..

Connects to the end of the dump pipe and the other end to the CAT.

Back pipes..

you already know..

Here are the pics..

    • I have a radium fuel rail on my Greddy manifold and used the supplied radium fuel injector to manifold adapters (The round green things pictured). I did always wonder if you could just go ahead and use the second lower hole like you're doing... Wouldn't thicker o-rings solve your issue?    
    • From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"
    • Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys. 
    • So, to run the 4g aerials to the booster, I had to get access to the rear bulkhead....bit of a mission. Hot tip, don't offer to help change the rear shocks for a mate with a v37.... Remove seat base, 2 clips that slide forward to release it the it lifts straight out Fold down rear seat (pull in from boot) The side bolster of the rear seat is not connected to the middle parts that fold. To remove unbolt at the bottom bolt then push it up off the top hook Then there is a plastic surround behind the seat back, 2 pop out clips, 2 bastard clips, some swearing at it is out Pop the rear seat latch surround off Remove door surround lower trim then side trim  Remove c pillar trim - 4 clips, pull inwards not forwards Remove metal brace - 5 bolts 1 nut Then you have got to the rear strut top...what a pain!
