I am trying [in my amatuerish way] to install a split dump. But I notice that the split dump has no mounting hole for the wastegate actuator arm from the vacuum???? [is this what it is]. If there is no hole, can I use this dump??? The turbo is my std one with a GCG highflo job.

PS Didn't even notice this until I had half the inlet etc taken off.............doh!

The only turbo I've seen with the waste gate in the dump was from a Commode VLT (ie RB30ET). Stock RB2x turbo's have the waste gate built into the turbo exhaust housing. The answer to your question is that the new dump pipe you have won't work with that turbo......

surely you can just make it fit. e.g. bitta welding, dirlling etc whatever?

Thanks SteveL and Mr Italy..........

But to install a split dump pipe I would have thought that you would have to remove the rear housing for access to the exhaust and waste air?

Then you split them using the split dump, I'm getting a bit confused now!!!

The dump looks Ok except for no mounting hole, and Just Jap has the same kit advertised, so the split dump is definitely for a skyline.

The problem you have is that the new split dump is designed for a stock RB2x turbo with the wastegate dump valve built into the turbo exhaust housing. The turbo you show in the middle photo is not a stock RB2x turbo (at least none that I've ever seen....and that's more than a few).

Your turbo has the wastegate dump valve built into your existing dump...or that's the way it appears (in fact looking at the photo closely it appears you have some sort of aftermarket dump attached somehow to the original cast iron dump flange)....but it's a bit hard to see). In any event, the new split dump simply doesn't have provision for the wastgate valve arrangement you currently have.....and there's no way to fit it (easily).

I always thought it was a std turbo for a '98 Gtst, but I guess I'm wrong. Yes, the wastegate valve is built into the the cast iron dump flange housing. The dump pipe I have is an aftermarket one that came with the car, it bolts to the cast iron flange housing, it is not a split one, so I was hoping to upgrade, but I guess this will not happen [unless I also upgrade the turbo].

That is not a stock turbo for an R33.

It appears that you have highflowed something like a VL turbo, then to adapt the stock exhaust on (dont know why you would use a stock exhaust with a highflow but yeh) they have cut the dump pipe to suit that turbo, welded on a flange for the RB2x turbos, then bolted your dump onto that...

Infact, on closer inspection, it doesnt look like a stock dump pipe either...

Honestly, I cant tell just from that 1 photo. Its really weird, good luck though.

Its not a VL turbo as far as I know. It came from japan with that turbo.

GCG didn't say anything about the type of turbo when I had it hiflowed.

The invoice says GTS-T Turbocharger Part Nymber #713255-11 - if thats any help.

Can anyone post a pic of the rear of a std turbo?

Damn, learn something every day.........

I'd still like to know what turbo I have then [made 240rwkw with very good midrange before tomei cams], so must be half Ok?

Reckon i'll have to take it off and send it to GCG or somebody and see. Can't take it to anyone here, I'm the only skyline within a 100km.

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
