i read threads on here about split dump pipes vs normal 3" dump pipes and it looks like the split pipes have a little more midrange,but the full 3" dump keeps pulling after 6500rpms unlike the split system.

From threads ive read on here^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

ive been in a 32gtst with gt30r turbo + screamer pipe & it sounded awesome.

i've seen plenty of home made screamer pipes for stock turbos on here for sale and was told the gate only opens after your actuator has reached the stock psi limit (7psi i think) then the gate opens for the screamer pipe.

i myself have a full 3" dump and front from BATMBL

but wouldnt mind trying a screamer pipe after my turbo is hi-flowed.

conclusion: a screamer pipe for a stocker is like a BOV for a stocker.

IMO

My car when it had the Ext Gate.

NOTE: I've never head an internally gated turbo sound even close to this.

So dont expect to get anywhere near what the video shows

cheers

aaah, memories

aquariuz6 - mate I have a 3.5 inch cat back system which needs a new muffler.

I'll sell it to you for $120.. a 3inch muffler will cost you about $200

say $50 for fitting

for $370, you will have a car that will sound great and actually improve performance.

a screamer pipe is higly illegal in NSW as it is sending exhaust gases out without going through cat.

In NSW, the fine for NOT having a cat (which is what a screamer pipe essentially is) is $10,000.

now.. you tell me. $370 for improved sound and performance? or $10K for nothing..

if i were to install a screamer pipe... is it possible to install a bov?

just curious because of planning on buying one soon... but i thought that it wouldnt be no use since the screamer pipe already vents the gases from the wastegate??? that true???

bov's and wastegates are seperate things althogether, a wastegate vents air away from the turbine wheel to prevent it from over boosting, and a bov will simply open when u back off to prevent the air going back through the compressor when the throttle is closed

i know the fines 10k for no cat but what is the fine for a screamer? i have mine set up with a flange so i can easily have it on or off coz i luv the sound but dont look forward to the fines even though it is very hard to see it, so yeh anyone know the exact fine for them

Ok, you have things totally backwards as 2BNVS said..

www.howstuffworks.com

have a solid read there. If you are still not clear.

But to go and actually talk to a workshop mate as i feel you could be purchasing parts that you really dont need and wont benefit the performance of your car

doesnt a screamer pipe only loud when the wastegate opens?

so if i were to control my boost... not reving over 4,000 then that my wastegate shouldnt open.... or does it?

btw all new to this turbo side of cars...

also since i have a stock rb25det engine, what good would installing a bigger wastegate to my stock turbo do for me?

i think it wouldnt do me any good anyways because arent the stock turbo's ceramic and can only withstand 12psi max boost before causing any damages?

    • Coming home late at night and driving past the police is the only reason i need one haha And yeh, definitley needs a switch to quickly enable it, dont have time to be getting my phone, opening an app, waiting for it to update etc before being able to make the change
    • Because it is financially convenient for them lol. Why wouldn't they want to give you the lowest possible valuation for your car?
    • Yep. @Duncan also shannons they will rip you dry and will be probably limited on how much you can drive. Also keep in mind that you always have to have it garaged with Shannons, with enthusiasts as per their PDS you can have it 2 times per week on the driveway for example. 
    • I had a generic 4" Varex rear box on my old V8, worked a treat for sneaking home late at night, it was as quite as stock when closed The car was "fairly" loud when open as it consisted of 1" 7/8 headers to 3" catted Y pipe, to 4" single, it did have a resonator in the mid pipe and only the Varex out the back I also hard wired in a Varex dash mount switch, as the key fob thing is a pain to use when driving I wouldn't recommend giving the beans when it is closed though as it creates a large restriction in the exhaust  It also can in very handy when pulled over for "random" breath tests or just cruising past the constabulary   
    • Here is the before and after of the scraping/sanding of the IC pads on the tachometer board for the fix mentioned in this thread. And yes it worked fine after. Just a note if you change any components on the board the tach calibration can be wrong showing the wrong idle etc...only problem is once it is installed back in the cluster you can't get to it to adjust...ouch! My fix was to cut out the calibration pot (the blue one) from the board and run it with two wires to the fuse panel under the dash where I could adjust the idle calibration once everything was installed. And yes I soldered everything up again including the half soldered components either side of the IC in my photos
